10 Okay it took me a minute to realize that I had to pick the size(s) I wanted to use and copy those folders into the .themes file or the usr/share/themes folder. But once they were there, my goodness, they look great, and add the applications in the .icon or usr/share/icons...nothing short of awesome. Thanks so much, feels like the early 2000s when I am using Semabe themes and applications.

Indeed, it would be useful to know that it is about the height of the headerbar and the size of the window control buttons. I should put there a “readme” file.

sewbej, Has anyone reported that Semabe not playing well with Plank?

sewbej

The reason is the semi-transparency of the background windows. You can disable it. Edit the "gtk.css" file, the "opacity" value in the ".background:backdrop" class should be "1". So it should be: .background:backdrop { opacity: 1; }

linuxcruizer

Thanks for the instructions. Plank is now playing well with Semabe. I appreciate the help and thanks again for creating such an awesome theme.

10 Thank you SO much for this theme. It Keeps the font size when applied, the animations are kept very well and it has many options of color. Fantastic work

enermax

Thank you for the theme. I'm a beginner in Linux, could you tell me how to change the opacity?

sewbej

What exactly do you want to change? I need more details.

enermax

I'm using the Sembabe Nordic Glassy theme and I would like to make it more transparent.

sewbej

In the "cinnamon.css" file, find and replace all the values "0.4)". And in the file "gtk-3.0/gtk.css" to change will be "0.58)". Value closer to zero - more transparent, 1 = opaque.

enermax

Which line please?

sewbej

There will be a lot to change. In a text editor, use the "replace all" option

enermax

I don't understand anything, I'll give it up, but thanks for the help. Linux is a prehistoric system, I will quickly return to Windows.

justinz

Returning to Windows because of opacity, that's an interesting one.

enermax

That's it plus so many things that disgust me about Linux.

10 one of the best I have had the privilege of downloading and using on my Linux Mint. Very professionally done, and the name is perfect. Thank you!

Good dark theme especially with elementosh-Black icon theme. At this time no problems with latest Manjaro system. Keep it up.

10 I'll give it 10 because so far I haven't seen any errors or anything like that. I really liked the personality, because at the same time it reminds a lot of mid-2000 OS themes but it's very original.

10 Out of the flat!

8 I like the skeuomorphic approach and I would be interested in an even more less transparent version: Semabe Grey No Transparent ... so that the windows and menues do not use any transparency.

mar3D

I agree: no transparency.

sewbej

Opaque version added.

sewbej

Thanks for the suggestion, I will think about the opaque version.

10 It's very beautiful. 10 the best

9 A strong 9. One thing I personally don't really care for myself, is transitions/animations though. IMO it just seems to make things seem slower. Easy enough to edit transition-durations though, no big deal. Cool theme!
