Toggle system-wide Dark theme.

Obtain quick access to system settings and power options such as restart, suspend, and shutdown.

Customizable. Extensible.

Customizing your desktop has never been simpler. Right from Raven, you are able to change your widget theme, icon theme, global dark theming, as well as in-depth modification to panels.
