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.

How to create your own plank theme the numixx theme as example – any desktop

Feb 2019 – 101 plank themes to choose from

In this video we will show you how easy it is to change any given plank theme.

We use the numixx plank theme as example.

We open it in the folder

/usr/share/plank/themes/Numixx

with Atom but open that specific folder as root to be able to save there and immediately see the result. We set the syntax to PERL to make it easier to read.

Then we start changing parameters and see what changes.
