We are creating a series of YouTube videos under the “edu-“ label to guide users through the migration from ArcoLinux to Arch Linux. These tutorials aim to make the transition process smoother by explaining each step clearly and providing practical examples. Whether you’re switching to gain more control or to learn vanilla Arch, our edu- videos are here to support your journey.

ArcoLinux has stopped

Teaching never stops—because learning is a lifelong journey for all of us.

2 – How to theme ArcoLinuxD Openbox

ArcoLinuxD is installed and we ran all the scripts from the folder arco-openbox even the ones in the folder ‘personal’. Then we tweak our distro.

Preferences/ Xfce4 Appearance is where we can set themes, icons and fonts.

Preferences/Openbox/GUI config tool is where we set our border of our windows and fonts.

Settings/Mouse and Touchpad  is where we set our cursor but also in Lxappearance.

We use variety to give us a better wallpaper.There are keyboard shortcuts to control variety. But we can also use Nitrogen.

Preferred applications is one I will always use. Nothing to do with theming but important to know.

Compositor is compton and will provide the shadows and transparency.

Tint2gui is the panel we use to have a panel. Switch the panel way by means of a click.

Obmenu-generator can create icons in your openbox menu.

I seem to have skipped Lxappearance in the video. Do check that out too. Many things can be changed there as well.
