Mono icon themes for DockBarX

By , Published September 7, 2010

Jan-Christoph Borchardt got in touch with us to shate his Minimal and Mono themes for popular ‘icon only taskbar’ application DockbarX.

“Following all the indicator applet mono icon craze, I jumped on the bandwagon” he told us on the reason behind creating them. Whilst we’re Docky die-hards here at OMG! towers we’re not averse to some DockBarX/Talika loving either so here are his monochromatic creations to download and enjoy.

Download & Install

The themes are available at this branch or for convenience sake can be downloaded @ ubuntuone.com/p/FDC/.

Once downloaded just extract the .Zip file and move all/any of the themes you wish to use into

  • .dockbarx/themes/

You will find this folder inside ‘Home’ and by pressing ‘CTRL + H’. Note the period preceding the location name. Alternatively press ALT + F2 in unison and enter: -

  • nautilus .dockbarx/themes/

Not got DockBarX?

Installing DockBarX is straightforward.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dockbar-main/ppa

sudo apt-get update && sud apt-get install dockbarx

Once installation has completed you can add it to your panel by right clicking > ‘Add to panel…’ > DockBarX. Themes can be configured from the DockBarX preferences window, accessible by right clicking on DockBarX.

Phew! Many thanks to Jan-Christoph Borchardt

    sudo apt-get update && sud apt-get install dockbarx

    i think you missed an ‘o’ in ‘sud apt-get install dockbarx’.

    No offense to Jan-Christoph, but those arent mono. They’re just indistinguishable splotches of gray and red

      None taken – it is a hack because I took only the shapes and recolored them. Good icons are distinguishable (GIMP, Inkscape, Xchat, Nautilus) but others are really not mono-compatible. ;)

      I hope you like the Minimal theme though.

        Firefox and Chromium are the two bad ones really. I guess if you only have 1 or the other on your panel than it could work, but if you have both then you can probably see the problem.

        Chromium would be an easy one to fix. 3 lines of Transparency and the inner circle and its perfect. Firefox might be a little tougher.

    I think that the Gaia theme looks much better.

    First line, “shate” should be “share”. Kinda funny. =]

    I think these are nice, though I’d prefer it if they were more like the notification tray icons, in that they were greyed out consistently.

    uhm, basically select the outside the image, inverse selection, then fill in with a color? not very thorough.. how about a little more detail?

    Almost looks like the Windows 7 superbar.
