Description:

A GTK, xfwm4, openbox-3, and GNOME-Shell - Dark Mode Theme - Plata is a new Gtk+ theme based on the latest Material Design refresh.

Ultimate-Plata-Dark mixes Dark-Chocolate, indigo, and shades of gray with bits of red, royal-blue, and violet. Ultimate-Plata-Dark supports Gtk+ 3x, as well as Gtk+ 2, and a multitude of desktop environments like Gnome Shell (and Flashback), Xfce, Mate, and LXDE, with Cinnamon coming soon. The original Plata theme designer (who also created Adapta theme) too offers theming support for Firefox (via FirefoxColor test pilot), Gedit, Plank dock, Telegram, and TweetDeck.

The GTK, xfwm4, openbox-3, and GNOME-Shell theme represents a careful blending of Material Design refresh elements, in tandem with those of minimalist artist Rafa Capoci, icon designer Wojciech Kalinowski, the Papirus team, and full-stack web-developer/themer Pavel Agarkov, with an overlay of the precise Plata theming hues.

Every element of this well-embraced theme package was re-built from the ground up, via this current 1.4 version, to address any issues which have arisen over the lifetime of the theme. Chiefly, the Budgie radio-button/check-box issues have been wholly resolved in the Material format. We are glad to hear UPD has been performing well on most systems.


***Now Choose From Standard or "Less-Indigo" Desktop-Theme Versions for Chocolate-Grey buttons and context/right-click menus***

Matching Material Flat Icons and Folders are Included

Matching Papirus Icons and Folders are also Included

Chose from either of the two desktop files or the two separate icons files.


Manual Installation Is Easy:

For themes: 1) Extract the "tar.xz" file into your "~/.themes/" folder - to install for current user only - or into the "/usr/share/themes/" folder - for the theme to be applied globally. 2) Use the GNOME Tweak Tool or an equivalent app to enable it for your desktop.

If installing manually, make sure to install the dependency: "Murrine theme engine" if you do not already have it; and update your GTK+packages if you have not.

For icons: 1) Extract the "tar.xz" file into your "~/.icons/" folder - to install for current user only - or into the "/usr/share/icons/" folder - for the icons and folders to be applied globally. 2) Use the GNOME Tweak Tool or an equivalent app to enable them for your desktop.
Last changelog:

15-06-20: Version 1.9.5 8 months ago

This update sees that Ultimate-Plata-Dark-3.36, and Ult- Plata-Dk-More-Indigo-3.36 received menu enhancements to include 'hover,' 'selected,' and 'active' events being colored with increased indigo. As well, the top-bar and panel text was lightened a modicum. Commit: 61265d

Beautiful.
I am a bit confused.
The "Less indigo" version looks exactly the same as the standard dark version.
The only other issue is not being able to see the radio buttons. This happened to me using Solus budgie and also on Fedora with XFCE.

Thanks for the input. I'll see what I can do about the radio buttons on those two desktop environments. The thing with these GTK-wide themes is they are geared up to be be a one size fits-all deal. Everything is based on the latest GNOME 3x, and then geared down from there. I may be able to find a way to make them all play nice with those radio buttons though. I'll get to them by the end of the week.

The Less-Indigo theming is a big deal on GNOME and Cinnamon, where most of the menus are deep indigo without the switch - and to a lesser extent on some of the GTK-3 apps.

Take care.

I'll see what Ubuntu Budgie is up to with that plugin-app ASAP. There are so many individual plugin to keep themed correctly; I really appreciate you keeping me up to speed here.
