For the button text color you have to open _drawing.scss, go to line 100 and change
saturate(lighten($selected_bg_color, 18%), 24%)
to whatever you like (this can be replaced by a hex code).
Also you have to change the color of the icon-shadow in line 192.
The other two styles are shared by several widgets and are defined in _common.scss in line 2980 and 2988. - Jun 01 2015

So, if you want to change the blue color, you have to edit Ceti-2-theme/common/gtk-3.0/<your-gtk-version>/_colors.scss.
Change the hex value in this line
$_selected_bg_color: #2468A0;
to whatever you want. After that, you have to regenerate the .css files with the `parse-sass.sh` script. There's a README in the directory with some short instructions on how to get sass installed.
Some of the images used in the theme also contain the blue color. To change that, you have to edit the `assets.svg` file and adjust the colors (make sure you don't change the object id's in the process).
After that you need to delete the corresponding .png images from the `assets` and `borders` subdirectories and run `render-assets.sh` and/or `render-borders.sh`. - May 28 2015

You need at least Gnome 3.10 to use this theme. Older versions won't work. - Apr 24 2015

GTK3 Themes by horst3180 160 comments
You could create ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css with the following content
GtkFrame { border-color: red }
And log out and back in.
This will leave the theme untouched and will just override this one setting.
I don't know if this has any side effects, though. There are probably apps that use a GtkFrame differently, which will then look bad, depending on the color you choose.
As you said, this is really a problem of bad app design than everything else. - Apr 21 2015

The css files in this package are the output of .scss files. You can see the source directory on my github page (this is the gtk3 theme for gtk 3.14 for example)
https://github.com/horst3180/Vertex-theme/tree/master/Vertex-gtk-3.14/gtk-3.0
You can get this with "git clone https://github.com/horst3180/vertex-theme"
If you want to modify the theme, you need to edit _common.scss in most cases (this is where all the main widget styles are defined). You can paste your modifications at the bottom of this file. Remember to adjust the names of the variables.
All colors are defined in _colors.scss. I you want to change the blue color, you have to replace $_selected_bg_color: #4080fb; with any other color you like.
After you have made your changes save the .scss files and then run the parse-sass.sh script in the directory. This will generate the gtk-contained.css files.
Now copy the whole vertex-theme directory to a different location and execute the build.sh script. This will give you a .zip file similar to the one I uploaded here. Never run the build.sh script in your working directory. It will create a huge mess.
That's pretty much my workflow. It may seem complex, but by porting the theme to Sass I managed to reduce the code by more than 1k lines. - Apr 10 2015

you need to edit the Vertex-Dark/gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets-dark-overrides.css file.
Add this to the end of the file
.header-bar .button:active,
.header-bar .button.flat:active,
.toolbar .button:active,
.toolbar .button.flat:active,
.primary-toolbar .button:active,
.primary-toolbar .button.flat:active,
.header-bar .button:checked,

.primary-toolbar .button.flat:checked,
.header-bar .button.titlebutton:active,
.titlebar .button.titlebutton:active,
GtkCalendar.header .button.titlebutton:active,
.header-bar .button.titlebutton:checked,
.titlebar .button.titlebutton:checked,
GtkCalendar.header .button.titlebutton:checked {
color: shade(@theme_selected_bg_color, 1.1);
}

1) I tried to make the toolbars + toolbar buttons dark. While it works fine for some applications, some others have bugs like unreadable text.
Basically I have to agree with this bug report for Ambiance
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate/+bug/1338132
2) I already began investigating the thunderbird issues. Currently there are only dark-theme issues reported, but for the other themes it's okay too to report there. See https://github.com/horst3180/Vertex-theme/issues/14
3) This looks like the overlay-scrollbar issue. Try disabling the overlay scrollbars as described in the README, this should fix this. I won't workaround this issue in my theme because it is the patched Gtk version that Ubuntu is using that is causing this issue and it should be fixed by them (obviously still not fixed with 14.10).
Also see here https://github.com/horst3180/Vertex-theme/issues/11
There is a proposed workaround, but I read somewhere that this doesn't work all the time. - Oct 25 2014

I found a way to fix this.
You need to put this
@define-color theme_unfocused_base_color @theme_base_color;
@define-color theme_unfocused_fg_color @theme_fg_color;
@define-color theme_unfocused_bg_color @theme_bg_color;
into the gtk-3.0/gtk-dark.css file (if you are using the 3.12 or 3.10 version)
or into the gtk-3.0/gtk-main-dark.css file (if you are using 3.14)
Or you wait until the next update. I'll include this. - Oct 23 2014

a) it looks better than the previous version
b) it maked maintaining both themes easier
The differences between the two can be seen in the screenshots, but it's mainly the color scheme and some special things (for example the window buttons) for each theme. - Oct 20 2014

I've tried to override the addressbar color from within the theme but I can't find a way to make it work. Maybe it would be the best to send a bug report to the opera developers or wait until someone figures out how to fix this. - Oct 08 2014

for some reason the shell theme causes crashes on some systems using the open source drivers. I don't know yet why exactly this happens. Maybe it would be better for you if you use another shell theme until this is sorted out. - Sep 20 2014

GTK3 Themes by horst3180 160 comments
could you show me the output of "glxinfo | grep render"?
Also replace Vertex-GS/gnome-shell/gnome-shell.css with Vertex-GS/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-no-crash.css
This will make the pressed dash buttons look wrong but should fix the crash.
There is also a section about this in the README. - Sep 19 2014

I've heard of this bug from another user. I'll quote myself:
I think the crash occurs when gnome shell uses llvmpipe. Try "glxinfo | grep render"and check if that's the case.
Also removing/commenting "box-shadow: none;" in the lines 1116,1125,1143 and 1152 of the gnome-shell.css file seems to fix the crash. The only issue with that is that the pressed dash buttons now look wrong, but atleast the rest works. - Aug 31 2014

you are right. There isn't a dark theme for gtk2 yet. I'll try to make one but dark gtk2 themes can quickly become unusable. - Aug 17 2014

the tabs look wierd because I think you installed the 3.12 version of the theme. Remove the theme and install it from the "Gnome_3-10_Ubuntu-14-04" folder.
The firefox problem seems to be an issue with the gtk2 theme. Make sure you have the package gtk2-engines-pixbuf installed. If that doesn't fix it, it's likely a permission problem. Please read the README on how to change the permissions.
Since you use Ubuntu you can also copy the theme to ~/.themes (if you haven't already done that) to avoid permission problems. - Aug 03 2014

Or execute
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme "Vertex"
If that doesn't work please read the troubleshooting section in the README. - Aug 02 2014

Thanks for your suggestions. I will consider them, but please be aware that i can't include every single suggestion into the main theme. Also, synaptic should be fixed now. - Jul 26 2014

I searched a bit around and found out that this is actually a bug of sublime or libpng. The consequence is that sublime can't load pixmap themes with png files. I have included a fix for that in the latest update, so you might want to look into that and tell me if it works. - Jul 26 2014
