@calinb You may wish to read this page in the MX wiki: https://mxlinux.org/wiki/xfce/changing-border-size-with-xfce4-window-manager/ <snip> Thanks for the excellent link, asqwerth! I found that it provides the information I need for window customization much more readily and concisely than the XFWM...

It looks like you found a solution to your problem which is fine. I mention the below only because it may be of interest or even important to some viewers. <snip> Strangely, disabling the " Set matching Xfwm4 theme if there is one " setting does NOT restore the normal Greybird-mx theme wi...

Thanks, CharlesV! Your suggestion is very close to what I was accustomed to using before the MX-18 EOL. I forgot that MX Tweak has this feature. I've never used it for themes until today but, at one time long ago, I noticed it was there. Your suggested settings also quickly dialed-in a change that c...

Thanks for your reply, AVLinux. Ha--I agree about xfwm being frustratingly difficult! I can't believe how much time I've spent searching online and experimenting to make such a simple change, but I'm sick of tolerating my window borders since MX-18 went end-of-life. When I have a bunch of windows op...

The lack of Greybird theme border contrast since MX-17/18 has always bugged me. I've studied the XFWM and XFCE sites a bit but, admittedly, I don't wish to spend the time to learn how to create themes myself. I simply want my dark borders back (especially the top border). I've not been able to achie...

the controls would be backwards too. but I'm glad you got it. Neither function key (brighter key nor dimmer key) produced any change at all--backwards or forwards. Why did they start working after I accessed the control via file access of the screen brightness control? (Everything's a file in POSIX...

Please check to see if you can adjust backlight. Controls might be backwards. It’s been a while since I seen this problem so I could be wrong but it’s free to check ! You're the (MX) man, dolphin oracle! It wasn't exactly like that--in fact, the keyboard controls for brightness didn't work at all (...

After looking at the boot.log file, I suspected that SysV init was booting but the screen is going black before reaching lightdm so I booted to the black screen again. My suspicion was proven correct when I used ssh to logon to the computer from another laptop. So something has gone wrong with light...

You can make the SystemD kernel the default boot choice with the Boot Options utility on MX Tools. this should alleviate your worry about shutting the laptop down. I think though that you should try booting into a live session of MX 23 to see if the black screen repeats with SystemV init. I booted ...

After a year or two of perfectly reliable operation, my MX-21 HP laptop suddenly boots to a black screen (no text terminals available with ctl + alt + FnX keys either) unless I boot with the "Advanced" systemd option. The last messages I see before the screen goes black during the failed b...
