On Fedora 17 with Gnome 3.4, I had to uncomment the code under the "Nautilus" section at the top of the gtk-3.0/applications.css file, so that the text shows up as white with a black shadow. With it commented, text was black without a shadow and hard to read with some backgrounds.

Great work, this template is one of the best I've seen that works with Fallback mode. Thank you!!

Finally ! i found a theme for gtk3 that looks like Clearlooks. Verry good job.
I would like to ask you two questions:

1. Do you use a theme editor ? or you have written all the code manually ?

2. I would like to move some of friends to Linux but they are used to Windows so i decided to modify your theme to look more like Luna theme. Till now everything is ok but i do not know how to remove the mouse over icon shadow from Rhythmbox. The icons are play, next, previous ... I see that the background is styled from "Prelit button background" section but i can't remove the image shadow on mouse over. Can you help me ?

Quote:1. Do you use a theme editor ? or you have written all the code manually ?

I don't use any theme editor. I copied files of Adwaita, the default Gnome 3 theme, and I manually changed code to obtain what I wanted.

I see that the background is styled from "Prelit button background" section but i can't remove the image shadow on mouse over. Can you help me ?

I'm not sure if you talk about the ".button:hover" background color or about the kind of icon luminosity change when the cursor moves over. Anyway, I tested both, and I didn't find a way to solve this:

about the ".button:hover" background color, I didn't find a way to style it only for Rhythmbox. For example, I can do it for gedit:

GeditWindow .primary-toolbar .button:hover {
border-image: none;
background-image: none;
}

but I can't with Rhythmbox. The following doesn't work:

RBSource .primary-toolbar .button:hover,
RBSource .button:hover {
border-image: none;
background-image: none;
}

about the icon luminosity change when the cursor moves over, it seems to me that it's managed directly by GTK+. I don't know how and if we can set it in a theme. For example, comment all imports in the bottom of the file "gtk.css", then launch any GTK3 application, so there will be no theme applied. Despite that, the luminosity change is still there.

I love this theme.
I want to reduce the size of the Metacity titlebar, tried reducing the "title_vertical_pad" on the file, but the value is 0 to begin with...
How can I reduce that size?

TIA :D

NM.
I found it...
Its the one called 'name="title_border"'.
Amazing theme, with the GNOME Classic looks pretty, pretty good.

I was actually googling a few weeks ago trying to find a good clearlooks theme for gnome3.4 (unity). I did find one remake but it wasn't vary accurate to the original design. This however is much better. My only complaint is my desktop wallpaper is blue and the icon text colour is black which is somewhat hard to read.

If you read the "readme" file inside the archive, you'll find that is easy to change text color from white to black, ;-)

As evereve wrote, there's an easy way to set the icon label color. See the section "Desktop managed by Nautilus" on the documentation: http://www.jpfleury.net/en/software/clearlooks-phenix.php

How would I change the Window border color? Which rgb setting should be changed and in which file?

Thanks for this theme.

Which window manager do you use?

I'm using whatever the default window manger is. It is a default Ubuntu 12.04 installation running Unity.

In the Clearwaita download file, there are Metacity, xfwm4, openbox... themes but I didn't see anything about Unity.

Isn't metacity only there for GTK2 compatibility? I tried changing the selected_bg_color in gtk-3.0/gtk.css and gt-3.0/settings.ini, to a different hex value, but for reasons unknown to me this had no effect on the border color.

I think that Unity-2D uses Metacity.

This worked to change the Window border color and background color:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-color-scheme selected_bg_color:#5598D7;selected_fg_color:#EDE9E3"

However, some applications, like Firefox and Terminal, still use the colors of the theme.

You are rewriting your theme for GTK 3.4, it should be ready very soon.

Can you "convert" absolute colors (like #abcdef;) to
relative colors (like mix (@selected_bg_color, shade (@bg_color, x),
y);) to create variants easily?
Thank you in advance! ;-)

Merci. Je me souviens avoir eu au tout début des problèmes avec les couleurs relatives. Les couleurs ne s'affichaient pas tout à fait comme ce qui était déclaré dans le fichier «gtk.css». Il y avait une légère variation. Je suppose que c'est un bogue qui a été corrigé depuis, car je n'ai plus ce problème.

Hello,

Debian (testing) is getting GNOME 3.4. Are you planning an update? I ask this because there are some "oddities" (especially in the gnome-panel).

Thanks :)
