Clearlooks-Phénix aims at creating a GTK3 port of Clearlooks, the default theme for Gnome 2. Style is also included for GTK2, Unity and for Metacity, Openbox and Xfwm4 window managers.
Requirements:
for Clearlooks-Phénix v1: packages gtk2-engines (if GTK2 applications are used) and gnome-themes-standard;
for Clearlooks-Phénix v2: packages gtk2-engines (if GTK2 applications are used), gnome-themes-standard and gtk3-engines-unico.
for Clearlooks-Phénix v3 and newer: packages gtk2-engines (if GTK2 applications are used).
Download:
Download the appropriate version according to your situation:
for GTK 3.0 and 3.2: Clearlooks-Phénix v1;
for GTK 3.4: Clearlooks-Phénix v2;
for GTK 3.6: Clearlooks-Phénix v3;
for GTK 3.8: Clearlooks-Phénix v4;
for GTK 3.10 and 3.12: Clearlooks-Phénix v5;
for GTK 3.14: Clearlooks-Phénix v6;
for GTK 3.20: Clearlooks-Phénix v7.
To find your GTK version:
You can check in your package manager the version of the package libgtk-3-0.
If you use Ubuntu, here's a correspondence between its versions and those of GTK (for a default installation of Ubuntu): Ubuntu 11.10: GTK 3.2; Ubuntu 12.04: GTK 3.4; Ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04: GTK 3.6; Ubuntu 13.10: GTK 3.8; Ubuntu 14.04: GTK 3.10; Ubuntu 14.10: GTK 3.12; Ubuntu 15.04: GTK 3.14; Ubuntu 15.10: GTK 3.16; Ubuntu 16.04: GTK 3.18; Ubuntu 16.10: GTK 3.20.

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 ?

Thanks a lot.
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'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 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

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

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.

I think that Unity-2D uses Metacity.

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! ;-)
