SMPlayer Theme Faenza : An Elegant SMPlayer Theme To Match With Faenza Icon Theme

In Linux world, there are many Media Player today. But for me, I've had my own choice : SMPlayer. It is a Qt based front-end for Mplayer, the (probably) greatest media player in Linux. By default, SMPlayer is capable to play almost all media format exist today. With w32codecs, it will be the perfect one ! Also, now, SMPlayer has already supported Mplayer2 (the next generation of Mplayer). It is better than VLC, and it is far more better than Totem.

Meanwhile, there is an icon theme that has been very popular in Linux desktop named Faenza Icon Theme. It is a simple but elegant, squared icon theme created by Tiheum. From the first release, I've admired this icon theme so much and I always use this icon theme and I've never been bored. It matchs so much with the Ubuntu's Light Themes.

Because of the those two great things, I've decided to make a little thing to meet the elegant look of Faenza to Smplayer. And finally, I've successfully arranged a theme for Smplayer based on Faenza Icon Theme and now I have my beloved Smplayer presents with my favorite icon theme.

As usual, I pack my little work into a debian package so you all debian and ubuntu users could use my little work easily. I packed the theme into deb and we could install it easily in our Smplayer installation. According to the ubuntu repository, I've made the package depends on smplayer-themes package so we need to make sure that the package smplayer-themes is installed. If not, we have to install it first :

sudo apt-get install smplayer-themes

Then, we can install the theme simply by terminal : sudo dpkg -i smplayer-theme-faenza_1.0-alwan1_all.deb. To use the theme, we just need to go to the Preferences menu in Options>Preferences>Interface>Icon Set and select the Faenza icon set. That's all. I hope you enjoy it.

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try. A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t...
