Description: This is a merger of Hitori (https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1367339/) and Dots (https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1151531/) theme, with four main variants to choose from:
HitoriDots1: This is the regular Dots Black theme but with the Hitori menu-active.png so that the application icon is now displayed and at a regular scale.
HitoriDots2: This is the regular Dots Black theme but with an easier on the eye colour pallet that more resembles the original Hitori theme.
HitoriDots3: This is HitoriDots1 but the window panel buttons only light up when hovered over.
HitoriDots4: This is HitoriDots3 but now the buttons also have small graphics indicators when they light up.
The original themes are included in the repository for comparison and reference.
Licensing: Both Hitori and Dots themes had been released as "GPLv2 or later" on xfce-look.org. Although I have since noticed Dots Black specifies "GPL-3.0+" in the themerc file. Technically all of the image assets are from the Dots theme and the menu-active.png taken from Hitori is so basic and only retains its original image dimensions and not colour shade... The license should continue as the Dots license GPL-3.0+. The themerc file is also taken from the Hitori theme but again this is just a basic configuration file. Either way, the licencing would default to 3.0+ because Hitori is released as 2.0+ meaning that it accepts any higher version GPL license.
Installation: Copy these themes into either: ~/.local/share/themes/ or /usr/share/themes/ e.g: ~/.local/share/themes/HitoriDots4
Then you can use the Window Manager xfwm4-settings application to select between themes.
Button Layout: By default the window panel buttons are left aligned in the respective themerc file: button_layout=CHM|O however some people may prefer right aligned: button_layout=O|HMC
More information about button layouts can be found here: https://wiki.xfce.org/howto/xfwm4_theme
Alternatively you can override these button layout settings using the Window Manager xfwm4-settings application.
