Another milestone in the transition back from Plasma 5 to something that works much more like a computer Operating System again.
I didn't like the default buttons in the WideBordersBigButtons theme for XFCE. But there was another theme that was supposed to just add a speecific Tittie Bar and Buttons, that simply would not show as an option in Settings > Window manager. And even if it had, it would likely have replaced the Wide Borders theme.
So I did some modifications to combine both themes into the 'Clearlooks' theme. I called the new effort 'Clearlooks-RAD-AR'.
Here is what I ended up with. The Minimize, Max/Restore and Close buttons glow as the mouse hovers over them. The Tittle Bar has a nice curved look and is a translucent smoke colour.
I'm fairly happy with it.
First pic shows the nice Wide 'grabable borders for resizing windows..
Pic below shows the Buttons at Right as they usually appear..
And this next pic shows the Max/Restore button when the cursor hovers over it.
The theme modification is not perfect, but for now it serves its porpoise.
My other bit of excitement for the computers is that while the BRIX is still running its 500GB Crucial SSD, I got hold of a brand new Samsung EVO 860 1TB SSD in one of those 'too good to ignore' offers.
It is now installed in the M93p Tiny, and happily chugging along on Linux Mint 19.3 XFCE.
