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;
}

I LOVE this app! I have, however, noticed a bug. When the header and background colors are different, I have noticed that the panel gets styled differently between GTK2 and GTK3. In Xfce 4.14, 4.12, and maybe even further back, this makes it look like a total train wreck. For the record, I think how it's done on the GTK3 side in that situation should prevail.

Also, I have a feature request: Could you add the ability to have gradient selected_bg_colors in menus and progressbars and the ability to select our own slider, scrollbar, and progress bar look and feel?

Other than that, it's an awesome time saver when creating themes! Thanx for creating it! :-)
