Chloe X-Tahr is just my fat, amateur-ish, heavily re-mastered X-Tahr 2.0, by the Master Xfce Pup guru, rg66 -

Lots of eye candy (themes, icons, fonts, wallpapers, custom default Greenbird Gtk2/3 theme [looks proper in late Firefox] w/Whisker menu decorations, etc), Firefox 51.0.1 w/my preferred selection of addons and about:config tweaks, games, Gimp, cairo clock, Pwidgets... and quite a bit more. Why she's a fattie.
Pretty close to what I think a Pup could/should be OOTB. Not perfect by any means - I had spent quite a bit of time months ago polishing away at it - only to discover a seemingly insurmountable issue (for noobish me, anyways) with Gimp creating un-explainable whiteout files in /root/.thumbnails/normal... so I just sorta ran out of steam. And here it sits - just thought I'd throw it out here, for anybody whom may be interested.
When running frugally with a savefile (my preference), it'll default to no periodic saves, and ask at shutdown with a 10 second timeout without saving - so a relativly quick shutdown process that leaves the savefile "pristine", by default. Select shutdown, and walk away.
The custom Whisker theme will eventually go all wonky if you switch to a different Gtk theme than the default Greenbird - in that case, delete the .gtkrc-2.0 file in the /root/ directory, and rename the orig.gtkrc-2.0 file back to .gtkrc-2.0 - then refresh the desktop via the purple-ish far-right tray button... Whisker should then pick up the new theme. A spare copy of the deleted Greenbird/Whisker .gtkrc-2.0 file can be found in the /usr/share/themes/Greenbird/ directory, if you want to go back.
Another Whisker .gtkrc-2.0 theme similarly exists for the custom Tempora theme, as well.
Check out the tweaked Clearlooks window titlebar buttons' 'prelight' color changes... I modified a number of the window manager themes to do that prelight/pressed thing. Surprised all themes don't have that feature enabled, as it's available/supported...!?!
Hopefully this link will work -

MD5sum should be fc785aec85f5f04752f361584a0d5ef0
I'm not very active here these days (not that I ever was in the first place), but any feedback appreciated. Hope somebody might like this little fattie!
