Description:

oomox
=====

Graphical application for generating different color variations of Numix theme (GTK2, GTK3) and gnome-colors icon theme.

### Arch Linux:

#### Install
yaourt -S oomox-git

#### GUI
run `oomox-gui`

### Ubuntu
Ubuntu 16.04 and 15.10 / Linux Mint 18 users can install Oomox by using the main WebUpd8 PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt update
sudo apt install oomox

If you don't want to add the PPA, you can download the deb from here: http://ppa.launchpad.net/nilarimogard/webupd8/ubuntu/pool/main/o/oomox/

For older Ubuntu releases install the dependencies manually and next follow general installation instructions below.

sudo apt install ruby libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libxml2-utils python3-gi gtk2-engines-murrine
sudo gem install sass

### Other distributions:

#### Prerequisites
You need to have `python3-gobject` binding and those executables:
- `glib-compile-schemas`
- `gdk-pixbuf-pixdata`
- `sass`
For GTK2 you need murrine engine which can be not installed by default.

#### GUI
git clone https://github.com/actionless/oomox.git
cd oomox
./gui.sh

#### CLI:
git clone https://github.com/actionless/oomox.git
cd oomox
ls colors
./change_color.sh gnome_noble # or other theme from above

next select oomox-current in your appearance config tool (for example, _lxappearance_)

#### Icons:
For icons you need to have `inkscape` and `imagemagick` installed.
To generate `gnome-colors` iconset with the selected colorscheme:

git clone https://github.com/actionless/oomox.git
cd oomox
ls colors
./gnome_colors.sh gnome_noble # or other theme from above

next select oomox-current in your appearance config tool (for example, _lxappearance_)

#### Spotify:
git clone https://github.com/actionless/oomox.git
cd oomox
ls colors
./oomoxify.sh gnome_noble # or other theme from above

Make sure to remove `~/.config/oomox/spotify_backup` when upgrading Spotify to the new version.
Also you can replace font with `-f` argument, see `-h` for usage.

### Using the theme with tiling WMs:

To resolve borders/shadow problem in tiling window managers create/append to
`~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css`:

.window-frame, .window-frame:backdrop {
box-shadow: 0 0 0 black;
border-style: none;
margin: 0;
border-radius: 0;
}
.titlebar {
border-radius: 0;
}
window decoration {
margin: 0;
}
