This is a more enhanced gradually scalable GTK-version based on Nextwaita (a previous theme I made). And so deviates more and more way from the original new-adwaita theme. Subtle use a gradients makes this theme more modern and easy to the eyes. And yet provides the stability of the gnome-standard theme.
In Version 2, I've improved the check- and radiobuttons.
This theme is made for the gnome-desktop only. No support for other DE'S.
This theme is gnome 3.32-ready.
By using 'Gnome-Tweaks/Fonts/Scalable factor' you can change the scale of the interface:
Setting this scale to 0.98 (for example) will scale the theme down to a level suitable for low resolution screens. Setting the scale to 1.30 (for example) will scale the theme up to a level suitable for high resolution-screens.
This theme will change its buttons, radio-and checkbuttons, sliders, switches, and general padding accordingly. While gnome already tries to scale, this theme does it better. This is done by using (relative) REM in some places instead of (fixed) pixels.
Careful: Be careful in setting the scalable factor, as it can get you into serious trouble.
This theme works best within these parameters:
0.98 - 1.30
On 4K-resolution, it is better to adjust the Settings/Devices/Display/Scale to 200%.
NEW : Versions with transparent backdrop-windows. Not-active windows have a semi-transparent look!
- Flexium-Transparent (in 3 gnome-versions)
Only works in gnome-desktop, and on GTK3-applications. On dark-themed items, the transparency is not set.Last changelog:
Version 2
New editions with improved radio- and checkbuttons.
Checkboxes and radio buttons in the "inconsistent" state render as red squares in Flexium-3.32-V2. Same happens in Flexi-Gnome-1.1. This is with GTK 3.24.23.
But there is a dark verson..
Just make a copy of the theme-folder and call it Flexium-Dark.
Then delete "gtk-2.0/gtkrc" and "gtk-3.0/gtk.css"
and copy "gtk-2.0/gtkrc-dark" to "gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
and "gtk-3.0/gtk-dark.css" to "gtk-3.0/gtk.css"
And then the theme is all dark..
I made two gnome-shell themes to match this theme or let me say i used the plata theme and passed the options to change the colors which all need to change was a couple small things but it matches really well. I have one with dark panel and one with light panel. This is the light panel shell theme.

Just wanna point out that while I haven't tried the scaling from Tweak Tool things look perfectly fine with 200% scaling via system display settings. I was a bit hesitant to try this theme due to the disclaimer about scaling in the description - So to those who are wondering this works just fine on Retina screens :-)
9+I'm stunned. The best header bars and most detailed theme I have ever seen. I think my performance has doubled. Man you did it up right on this one. I am using the dark version.

Would love to see this in a dark version though.
But there is a dark verson.. Just make a copy of the theme-folder and call it Flexium-Dark. Then delete "gtk-2.0/gtkrc" and "gtk-3.0/gtk.css" and copy "gtk-2.0/gtkrc-dark" to "gtk-2.0/gtkrc" and "gtk-3.0/gtk-dark.css" to "gtk-3.0/gtk.css" And then the theme is all dark..
Also assets-dark folder and hacks-dark.rc (replace assets folder and hacks.rc)

Looks good
Just wondering why no support for dark theme??? It is a nice theme but some of do not use light theme ever so I was just wondering.

Thanks, I've changed the description of the theme accordingly.
Same problem with radio buttons as with Nextwaita - they look pixelated. Otherwise it's even better than Nextwaita, thank you for the superb work :)
V2 has improved radio-and checkbuttons
Great, thank you very much. I've updated it and indeed it works perfect :) GOOD WORK!
backdrope window color is white not looking good. Do you consider to change to active window color?
I have uploaded semi-transparent versions
