I've not updated the theme to work with gnome 3.4 yet. I'll do that when I get enough time.
Ok thanks very much.Can I help you with something?
Where can I find those icons you have in Nautilus. Great work.
Sorry i ask it again: How could i change back-color of selected item in nautilus? When i use 'Hope' it's too light for me and sometimes i lost item(s) which i selected. :D Thanks for you hopeful theme.
Love the theme! Works well with Ubuntu 11.04 - there is one issue with the fonts in the menu bar however (see imageshack-link below) - can't figure out what I need to change in order to make them look properly. Does anybody have an idea? -------------------- http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/195/20120114154914.png/
Okay I figured out a workaround in case anyone is interested: 1) Use gnome-color-chooser to manually set the font back to Ubuntu size 11. 2) Manually change the menu background font to hex value #2f2f2f
Hi Thanks for greate job. But how could i change nautilus selected item back color? it is a little light, i think.
I'm not sure if I'm missing something, unico is there... The tabs in gtk3 applications look rather Win95 compared to the gtk2 ones. Could you take a look? Apart from that, I really like the theme having a more or less circular gradient on buttons instead of the typical linear one.
Can you link to a screenshot, because the tabs work for me.
Looks like this for me: http://nightsoul.org/files/tabs.png Nautilus in background, pidgin in front. The nautilus tabs look rather flat, I prefer the slight gradient on pidgin's ones...
That's how they are styled. The gtk3 theme isn't an exact copy of the gtk2 one. Pidgin is gtk2 and will be updated to work with gtk3 soon. I didn't make the gtk2 theme, I ported it to gtk3, and I don't have enough knomledge of gtk2 themeing to make tabs like that. If you still want to have tabs like that, you can open gtk-widgets.css and replace lines 1099-1159 with this /************ * notebook * ************/ .notebook { background-color: shade (@bg_color, 1.02); background-image: none; border-radius: 3; padding: 3; -unico-inner-stroke-color: alpha (shade (@bg_color, 1.26), 0.3); -unico-inner-stroke-gradient: none; } .notebook tab { background-image: -gtk-gradient (linear, left top, left bottom, from (shade (@bg_color, 0.97)), color-stop (0.80, shade (@bg_color, 0.95)), to (shade (@bg_color, 0.92))); padding: 2 1 0 1; -unico-border-gradient: -gtk-gradient (linear, left top, left bottom, from (shade (@bg_color, 0.86)), to (shade (@bg_color, 0.84))); -unico-inner-stroke-color: alpha (shade (@bg_color, 1.26), 0.34); -unico-inner-stroke-gradient: none; -unico-inner-stroke-width: 1; -unico-outer-stroke-color: @transparent; -unico-outer-stroke-gradient: none; -unico-outer-stroke-width: 1; } .notebook tab:active { background-image: -gtk-gradient (linear, left top, left bottom, from (shade (@bg_color, 1.1)), to (shade (@bg_color, 1.02))); -unico-border-gradient: -gtk-gradient (linear, left top, left bottom, from (shade (@bg_color, 0.84)), to (shade (@bg_color, 0.8))); } .notebook tab .button { padding: 0; }
That looks nicer in my opinion, thank you! :)
Where are the themes of the icons?
The icon theme is Awoken. You have choose the folder type as s11 during customisation.
The folder type in the screenshot is classy, not s11.
how can we use gnome-color-chooser colour schemes there (gtk3)? - or may we need to run some script to convert these colour schemes to an external css file, like at '~/.gnome-color-chooser/config.css' (neighbour to '~/.gnome-color-chooser/config.xml') ?
Gnome-color-chooser is not compatible with gtk3. But you can easily change the colors in the gtk.css and settings.ini files
thanks!
Which line in the gtk.css is responsible for changing turquise (hovering the menu) into blue for example?
"turquoise"
You have to change the selected_bg_color in gtk.css and settings.ini :)
Right, that works fine. Thanks a lot!
