@Pete333, just downloaded your theme and it is amazing! The only problem is that I cannot seem to find the window manager -- with the thin blue border and tiny min,max, and close buttons -- that you used in the screen. What is the name of it? Thanks.

add the following code to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

itlebar {
background: #080808;
}

.titlebar:backdrop {
background: #080808;
color: #E9E9E9;
}

decoration {
border: 1px solid #556777;
background: #080808;

Ooops! .. the first line should be:
.titlebar {

Yep, that works and gives me the thin border around the windows, but how is the glow effect achieved on the min, max, and close buttons?

this looks really great, it's a little too transparent for me to use, but it sure looks cool

Ambiance DS is great. There is only 1 problem. When using this theme also in WPS (spreadsheet) the whole spreadsheet turns to black. Is there a way to solve this problem? Greetings, Evert

I'm on XFCE but I have been using this theme for a while. It was perfect, since XFCE is based on Gnome anyway.
As everyone knows, since GTK 3.20 the theme looks a bit ugly :(

I still have a lot of errors from .xsession-errors when I open any app... For example, xfce4-terminal:

(xfce4-terminal:20283): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets.css:2278:18: The :focused pseudo-class is deprecated. Use :focus instead.

(xfce4-terminal:20283): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gnome-panel.css:47:28: The :prelight pseudo-class is deprecated. Use :hover instead.

(xfce4-terminal:20283): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gnome-panel.css:61:28: The :prelight pseudo-class is deprecated. Use :hover instead.

(xfce4-terminal:20283): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: nautilus.css:26:47: The :prelight pseudo-class is deprecated. Use :hover instead.

(xfce4-terminal:20283): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: nautilus.css:48:14: not a number

(xfce4-terminal:20283): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: nautilus.css:48:14: Expected a string.

I will stop here, but the list is much longer... Is it possible to fix these errors? It seems like these are references to deprecated classes.

Thanks!

I have downloaded (and tried) the 2.30 Beta version. Not it's even worse, no more dark displayed. It looks like a white Adwaita theme :(

I will wait for the next version to come :)

Hi there. I use the List view on Nautilus (Debian 9) and the background is a bit greenish (with no transparency). Any chance of fixing this and making it black ? Thanks for your work.

I installed this theme a couple of hours ago. currently running ubuntu 17.04
The theme was working fine when i first installed it, but after a restart, the transparency is not working anymore.
I did notice that typing sudo nautilus in terminal makes the transparency to work, but its stops after i close it.

Hi, I am one of your biggest fans and have been using your Ambiance DS BlueSB12theme for quite awhile on my Linux Mint 18 Mate installation. It is awesome!

I was eager to download and install your "2nd Update" here, but, unfortunately, there seems to be a problem with the file. I am unable to extract it.

I get this error: An error occurred while extracting files.

Command Line Output: tar: AmbianceDSBlueSB12/gtk-3.20/assets: Cannot open: File exists
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

I re-downloaded it and tried extracting it to different folders but I still get these errors. Could you please check to make sure the AmbianceDSBlueSB12.tar.gz file is good? I am eager to get it working.

Thanks for your hard work and sharing your great theme!

I was able to extract the Update 2 file on my Windows machine with 7zip. I compressed into a .zip file and I copied it back to my Linux Mint machine. I thenextracted the .zip file and compressed it back into a tar.gz and was able to finally install the theme. The Update 2 tar.gz file I downloaded several times for some reason cannot be extracted directly on my Linux Mint machine. There is either a problem with the downloaded file or a problem with my Linux Mint but I don't have any problems extracting any other files except for this one. Weird stuff!

Thank you for waiting. ..Unfortunately I can't test it in Ubuntu.
I can't login to "Ubuntu default" after upgrading to 17.04. .. I can only login if I choose Gnome.
There's still a lot of works to be done here. ..problem is, I am not very familiar with the Gnome environment.
Please test it in Ubuntu default and give me feedbacks/suggestions so I can fix the problems.
