Greetings. Wow, it has been a long time since I did this. I think way back when KDE 4.x was still a little new. At the time QtCurve was the best option to get a consistent look across both KDE and Gnome.... Then the Gnome folks smoked a few too many and made GTK changes erratic enough that the QtCurve developer threw up his hands and stopped supporting GTK3. It's been a while since I took a look at KDE, but it looked like QtCurve (used here as both widget style and window decoration) had long ago become an afterthought. Right now I'm on a Mac, but may consider Linux Mint if they get the new one right. --BH

I have wanted for soooooo long to have a theme where the selection was essentially treated like a "yellow highlighter." THANK YOU! Only thing I'd change is to have the foreground in the selection be black instead of that brownish color.

Goes great with the "Plane" icon theme. Very nostalgic for those of us whose first graphical OS was Windows 3.1.

Also confirmed!

Stock Gnome (3.28) as included with Ubuntu 18.04. Using Nautilus. I believe for 18.04 they kept Nautilus at one version older because the latest one dropped support for Desktop icons. Not sure how to future-proof the icon text, as it's possible that for 18.10 Ubuntu will have a custom Gnome extension, switch to Nemo or some other customized file manager, or find some other way to support desktop icons.

These are also great themes... ...and also clobber my wallpaper to blank white. =( Can that be fixed? (Using Ubuntu 18.04, themes installed to /usr/share/themes, owner chown -R root:root and permissions chmod -R 755 for each)
- May 18 2018
Confirmed fixed. Awesome!
- May 20 2018
They made things a bit confusing with all the version numbers. 3.28, the latest version of Gnome, uses the latest version of GTK which is 3.22. Those are the versions that the Ubuntu 18.04 is using.

Thanks for the response. I typically install themes globally, as would be the case installing from a .deb package. That puts them in /usr/share/themes . I also make sure to do a recursive chown -R root:root and chmod -R 755 on the theme, as would also be the case for globally installing from a package. I've had issues in the past with root level GUIs like Synaptic for stuff installed to locally to ~/.themes, though this wouldn't be a problem with Wayland since it makes root-level GUIs illegal. I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 (standard version is Gnome since they dropped their Unity desktop). GTK version is 3.22.

Very good. I have two requests: 1) It seems that applying the theme changes my wallpaper to blank white. Can that not be the case? 2) Granted that BeOS had yellow title bars, some of us might love the theme, but want a different title bar color. Can you provide versions of the theme with alternate color title bars? Perhaps at least dark blue, and maybe the same shade of grey as the UI? (#D8D8D8)
- May 18 2018
Yes. Running in X.org rather than Wayland.
- May 20 2018
Actually, one isssue: Text under the icons on the desktop is plain black. This is fine for a light wallpaper, but will be difficult to see against a dark one. Most themes deal with this by making the icon text white with a black drop shadow. (Don't know if it's possible to make it white with a black outline or vice versa, but that would also resolve it. ... --You'll have to forgive me for being a nitpicker of every little thing on your themes. I seem to be a software tester. =D)
- May 18 2018
Excellent! (...and it doesn't clobber my background)
- May 18 2018
I don't suppose you can do a counterpart theme for Cinnamon?
- Mar 14 2018
Fantastic!
- Mar 13 2018
Looks good. There's issues with the breadcrumbs for Downloads, Videos, Pictures, and Music in Nemo in Cinnamon.
- Feb 26 2018
@PAULXFCE Can you do a version of this customized for Cinnamon? This looks amazing with Gnome 3, but for some reason it doesn't work so well in Cinnamon. (That may change with the next version of Cinnamon which will use more recent GTK.)

Found a minor bug that happens when gedit is directed to open a file that doesn't exist. The cancel and retry buttons have white text against white background. To repro: Create a text file with gedit and save it. Close gedit. Delete the file. Reopen gedit. Attempt to reopen the file via the recent list under the open button in the top left.
- Jan 10 2018
Fantastic!

There's a bug: You linked directly to your user directory: gtk-3.0 -> /home/jason/.themes/JGD-Black/gtk-3.20

Great theme. One minor issue: Text of the icons on the desktop is plain dark grey. This is a problem if I set a dark wallpaper. Can the icon text be made white with a dark drop shadow (most themes do this)? Voting up.
- Oct 31 2017
Voting up... ...with one small request: Liferea is an RSS agregator. The icon looks like it's an instant message or translator app. Can that be changed into something that suggests news, RSS, or just left as it is in the next update?

(If you use Dash to Panel on the new Ubuntu, you will probably need the extension to disable Ubuntu Dock, and make sure both Ubuntu Dock and Dash to Dock are disabled on the Extensions pane of the Tweaks tool.)
- Oct 20 2017
That looks like the "Dash to Panel" extension. The new Ubuntu uses a specially configured version of a similar extension called "Dash to Dock". I'd recommend Dash to Panel if you like something that resembles Windows or KDE. I'd recommend Dash to Dock to get something similar to the macOS dock (Dash to Dock can also be a panel if you want it to.)
- Oct 20 2017
GTK Theme is great, though maybe some more polish. Gnome 3 theme looks cool, but I don't like it taking over dash-to-dock and putting the old 3D flat dock. (It's nice, but can that be optional?) Excellent overall +1

That hosting site presented me with about 342 fake download links. My first clue that the one I clicked was fake was when I saw "setup.exe" download... ...for a Linux theme... right... wrong download link. Then I tried the one that said to click there if the download did not start immediately... shoved me into some video site. I was ultimately unsuccessful at downloading the file.

Microsoft haters are gonna hate... I'm voting it up anyways. I use Win10 at home and Linux at work and it's nice to have some consistency. It's not a perfect duplicate (Cinnamon theme in the menu should use a solid color rectangle rather than an underline; Progress bars should be green, a few other bits here and there) ...but it's still close enough. Just as Win7 was not the disaster that Vista was, Win10 undoes almost all the mistakes of Win8 and even makes a few nods to Linux people: transparent consoles, "real" virtual desktops, print to PDF, etc. Great theme & nice to have consistency at home and work. Keep it up!
- Sep 11 2015
This is the very first time I've found a "flat" theme that I liked and also found very usable. Nice job.
- Jul 14 2015
What icon theme is that?
- Nov 10 2014
It seems like it's been way too long since someone made a decent near-photorealistic icon theme and gave us all a break from the barage of ugly "flat" themes, which I've never cared for. What a relief!
- Oct 29 2014
Start it in Ubuntu 14.04 with this theme and take a look at the Quick Filter. (I've heard at least one other theme developer lament that the "real" bug is in Synaptic itself.)
- May 05 2014
Fix confirmed... well, "work around" (since the "real" bug is in Synaptic) confirmed.
- May 05 2014
Awesome. The old Gnome-Cupertino doesn't look right in Ubuntu 14.04.
First bug I'll report: Try running Synaptic. Look at the Quick Filter. - May 04 2014

Thanks again. On one of my machines the transparency seems a bit much, while the other is fine. Do you think I should ease off on the translucent effect or keep it as it is?

Thanks!

Anyone remember the old "Ultimate Gnome" icon set? This theme compliments it well. http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Ultimate+Gnome?content=75000 (...And I still wish someomne with appropriate skills could adopt that icon set and give it a proper update.)
- Mar 26 2014
(Looks nice with the Cinnamon theme "ChocoLatte")
- Mar 24 2014
Also something weird with the progress bar when I install a Cinnamon theme on Mint 16 via Themes -> Get More Online.
- Mar 24 2014
Much better. For many of us who used Ubuntu for years before Unity, this brings back an "old friend." Can the GTK3 scroll bars be made to resemble the GTK2 version (including the up and down buttons)? Visible on Nemo (maybe Nautilus), and the Gnome Character Map. Also, run Brasero, there's something a little weird with the background behind the text on the buttons.
- Mar 24 2014
What version of GTK3 is this intended for? I'm using Mint 16 at the moment, and some things (text fields) don't seem to render correctly.
- Mar 21 2014
I like that the progress bar is a moving stripe. Don't see that much these days.
- Mar 21 2014
Just tried it in Cinnamon (2.0 on Mint 16). Better. It looks like it's now dark text with a light gray shadow. That seems a little weird, but it's definitely a lot more readable on dark backgrounds.
- Mar 21 2014
I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 (latest). I'll see what I can do about Screenshots. The test below the icons was light gray and tended to be hard to see in dark area. (Like I said, I got the impression that only the shadow portion of the text rendered.)
- Jan 24 2014
What icon set is that in the screen shot?
- Feb 21 2014
A nice idea.
- Feb 18 2014
One small gripe: Looks like it (deliberately?) does not have the window buttons. I'm using it with the borders for MediterraneanDark in Cinnamon/Mint 16.
- Feb 14 2014
I might like the tabs to stand out a bit more, but it's better than I expected. It goes especially well with the old "Ultimate Gnome" icon theme (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Ultimate+Gnome?content=75000 ...and here's hoping someone will adopt that classic icon set and bring it up-to-date.)
