GTK3/4 Themes by grvrulz 67 comments

I've not updated the theme to work with gnome 3.4 yet. I'll do that when I get enough time. - May 05 2012

GTK3/4 Themes by grvrulz 67 comments

That's how they are styled. The gtk3 theme isn't an exact copy of the gtk2 one. Pidgin is gtk2 and will be updated to work with gtk3 soon.

I didn't make the gtk2 theme, I ported it to gtk3, and I don't have enough knomledge of gtk2 themeing to make tabs like that.

If you still want to have tabs like that, you can open gtk-widgets.css and replace lines 1099-1159 with this

/************
* notebook *
************/
.notebook {
background-color: shade (@bg_color, 1.02);
background-image: none;
border-radius: 3;
padding: 3;

-unico-inner-stroke-color: alpha (shade (@bg_color, 1.26), 0.3);
-unico-inner-stroke-gradient: none;
}

.notebook tab {
background-image: -gtk-gradient (linear, left top, left bottom,
from (shade (@bg_color, 0.97)),
color-stop (0.80, shade (@bg_color, 0.95)),
to (shade (@bg_color, 0.92)));
padding: 2 1 0 1;

-unico-border-gradient: -gtk-gradient (linear, left top, left bottom,
from (shade (@bg_color, 0.86)),
to (shade (@bg_color, 0.84)));
-unico-inner-stroke-color: alpha (shade (@bg_color, 1.26), 0.34);
-unico-inner-stroke-gradient: none;
-unico-inner-stroke-width: 1;
-unico-outer-stroke-color: @transparent;
-unico-outer-stroke-gradient: none;
-unico-outer-stroke-width: 1;
}

.notebook tab:active {
background-image: -gtk-gradient (linear, left top, left bottom,
from (shade (@bg_color, 1.1)),
to (shade (@bg_color, 1.02)));

-unico-border-gradient: -gtk-gradient (linear, left top, left bottom,
from (shade (@bg_color, 0.84)),
to (shade (@bg_color, 0.8)));
}

.notebook tab .button {
padding: 0;
}

Gnome-color-chooser is not compatible with gtk3. But you can easily change the colors in the gtk.css and settings.ini files - Jan 05 2012

I'm glad you like it. Netbeans, and other java apps as well, do not play nice with dark/semi-dark themes. So there is probably nothing we can do to fix it. - Dec 27 2011

Thank you, I'm glad you like it.
About the changes, I've been working on this again and I've made some changes like icon size, button size and hover states, message tray etc. Not so sure about the font size though, you can increase it if you prefer, it's only css :).
I'm also making some other changes like nicer images for highlighted activities etc. I'll update it in a few days. :)
Sorry for replying so late :P - Dec 04 2011

This them is for gnome 3.2 where we dont have an appearance properties app like gnome 2.x, so no drag-n-drop installation is possible. If you're using gnome2 than you can obviously do that. :) - Oct 27 2011

reduce titlebar font size by 1 unit.
For panel font-size, u have to edit in the css. Find 9pt and replace it with 10pt or such.. :) - Jul 09 2011

Very nice theme. I have a few suggestions.
*You should remove the separator(try -GtkPaned-handle-size:0;)
*Menubar to toolbar tansition should be somewhat smoother or else partitioned.
*Toolbar buttons need some love.

Its good to see more gtk3 themes coming up.. :) - Jun 28 2011

Well slickness is a pixmap theme. I can try to port it but many things will simply be exactly different, like menus, scrollbars etc. see http://tinypic.com/r/wguycn/7 - Jun 11 2011

i've corrected most of the things but i'll upload it tomorrow, really sleepy ryt now. i also found this new kickass gtk3 theme engine called unico. I hope it'll improve some of the things..:)

n yea i didnt make the gtk2 version, n unfortunately i'm not familier with gtk2 themeing, so no props there bro.. - May 24 2011

GTK3/4 Themes by grvrulz 67 comments

1. I cant figure out whats the problem with the comboboxes. I promise that i'll rectify that if i find it out.. :)

2. The tabs in nautilus are due to nautilus. The width and the close button's offset isn't controlled b y the theme, so it'll unfortunately remain that way.

3. Some styles like buttons are different. It's because of the limitations of the themeing engine. The buttons in the gtk2 version are drawn using murrine, while i just have css in gtk3, that leaves me just with gradients. I cant exactly replicate thecomplex gradient in those murrine button with gradients alone, n using images is out of the question, because they stretch.. n yea, i cant remove those stripes from the progressbars..

I am happy that someone is taking time to point out my mistakes. This is my first theme and i'm happy that people like it. Please tell me if u find any other glitches, i'll try to rectify them.. :) :) have a nice day.. :) - May 23 2011
