Retro-56
Made by Paulxfce
This is a theme with a retro color-pallet .
The theme only provides a GTK3-theme, with dark-support, and a matching gnome-shell. It is built for the Gnome-DE.
IMPORTANT:
This theme is developed for the gnome DE. It works on GTK3.22 to GTK3.29, and GTK3.32/34/36/38, NOT GTK 3.30.
How to install:
Download the theme,
>retro-56
Just copy the extracted file to a '.themes'-folder you make in your home directory.
Then use the Tweak Tool and select the theme.
LOG OUT AND BACK IN for changes to take full effect!

Really nice colors, and I always like this core of Paul's themes. Things are just so nicely proportioned and shaded here :D
The palette *very* slightly gets me in that early experimental nostalgia zone where color was used to differentiate different UI elements and things were not just glaring uniform white or midnight black (this was a great era, shut up). Think Motif/CDE or Acme/Rio/Plan9. It's a lot more subtle than those, however - perhaps a bit too much so, with the low contrast buttons. Windows without sidebars can be a bit blah, but you can't style every conceivable bit of UI out there.
Recommended partners: papirus-folders with "nordic" color, retroish editor and terminal theme e.g. Gruvbox.
No keyboard navigation, no GTK2 theme. That's a shame. I guess it's an alpha release or from an earlier offshoot? It'd be nice if the common core of this theme could adopt some of the fixes from the now-abandoned Wrk-PRO theme
10 Interesting theme colour set... Great Work
All in subtlety, like all your themes ;-)
Great theme, thanks Paul!
Dankjewel Paul!
