![small preview](previews/logo.png)
This is my first serious attempt with a coherent theme for GTK2, GTK3 and GTK4. It is yet anohter skeuomorphic theme (that is, non-flat, that tries to imitate real-world objects and interfaces, like real three-dimensional buttons).
This is a very complete theme, including:
- GTK2, GTK3 and GTK4
- Kvantum (qt svg theme, qorks with both qt5 and qt6)
- qtCurve configuration (qtcurve for now it works only in qt5)
- Plasma, qt5ct and qt6ct color schemes
- xfwm4 theme (XFCE window decoration)
- Aurorae theme (Plasma (Kwin) window decoration)
- Plasma theme
- Metacity (Mate window decoration)
- Openbox (window decoration for Openbox window manager)
It is a skeuomorphic theme (that is, non-flat, that tries to imitate real-world objects and interfaces, like real three-dimensional buttons). It tries to use as little CPU as possible to draw widgets (no round corners, no gradients, almost no box-shadows and almost no transparency, except where it is unavoidable to keep usability). It also tries to be extremely _legible_, that is: the function of every element should be obvious. I have decided to make a compromise, though: toolbar buttons (and a few others) are not raised by default (because in some apps it may make the UI look too crowded, like "too many things happening").
Because of these design decisions, it looks very much like a theme from the 90s. It may even have som pixel art flavor too, beacuse all borders are two pixels wide, and relief is widely used to help distinguish elements.
This theme's colors are equal to Simple theme, which are very similar to another theme of mine called Soil. That is: dark theme, with gray backgrounds, green accents, brown disabled elements, and blue hints or statuses. Buttons are lighter and subtly green.
This theme is based on Adwaita GTK3 and GTK4 (source sasscs!) and built from there. Sources are also available.
GTK2 is based on Clearlooks.
It is a light theme but with gray tones, in order to be easy on the eyes. Accents are bright green, so selected text stays the same color. Disabled elements have a subtle red tint, in order to clearly identify their state.
I've created a way to use different color themes:
- go to `source/templates/` directory and run `./use_scheme.sh name_of_color_scheme` (for example: `./use_scheme.sh colorscheme-Skewaita_original_light.sh`
- move one directory upwards with `cd ..` and rebuild theme, using new selected scheme, and bearing in mind whether it's a light or a dark theme: `./compile.sh light` or `./compile.sh dark`
For now there are only two color schemes: the original one and a dark one ("Soil", using the colors from this other theme of mine)
For now there are only two color schemes: the original one and a light one (using Skewaita's colors).
