This is best used together with the default breeze themes. The default border width (config settings set to "normal") is 8px. This is by intention. It makes for a consistent design throughout any application. All buttons got subtle indicators for their actions just like the recent OSX versions do, only a little less dominant.
Preferably installed via "System Settings > Window Decorations > Get New Decorations". You can manually download the compressed directory and put it into ~/.local/share/aurorae/themes.
If you would like to lower the border value you can easily change the [Layout] section of Breeze-OSXrc namely the values of BorderBottom, BorderLeft, BorderRight and TitleEdgeBottom. If you would like to use this theme without borders set the config settings to "tiny" and TitleEdgeBottom in Breeze-OSXrc to 0. Either of this might throw off paddings which would need additional adjustments in the same file.Last changelog:
v1.1
· Fixed clipping issue for maximized windows · Cleaned up border paths
Thank you for this Theme, it is by far my favorite! My only issue is, that i can`t get rid of the side borders. If you set them to smallest, it gets closed, but windows are no longer scalable, if you select "no borders", the borders will be big again. Unfortunately your Theme looks amazing withoud borders... do you have any hint or solution for this?
Hej Marian,
this is my favorite theme because the buttons are not so huge as in other macOS-themes. Great Job! Would you make a version for xfce (and other if possible)? I would gladly use it on my laptop too which has not KDE.
Thank your for the kind words nattljus I'm currently not able to do maintenance or new projects. But in the upcoming weeks/months I'll maybe have a look. I would like to provide this for XFCE indeed. I'll keep you updated!
nice one. unfortunately window roll-up (shade/unshade) doesn't work. it only works in breeze and oxygen theme. any idea what to change in the settings?
Hello Azawi, thanks for your feedback. That's interesting, I really never have used or am using window roll up. I'll have a look at it and tell you what I've found.
Azawi, I really don't know what to do about this for now, sorry. On my machine actually no window theme except the breeze theme, which is programmed with Qt and not SVG-drawn, behaves correctly with the window shading function. All other themes, even Plastik, which afaik is Qt based as well, won't work. This might be a KDE bug maybe and since it's one of the lesser used features possibly get's very low interest in fixes from devs...If anybody knows better please correct me. Sorry for now.
