README steppenwolf ==steppenwolf== "steppenwolf" is a GTK2 and 3 theme based on OneStepBack by Jean-Pierre Bucciol. It is a hybrid of the good old NeXTSTEP look and some more modern elements. I wrote this theme after being fed up with visibility problems and bloat of modern dark themes. Have you ever looked at the source code for Arc-based themes? It's horrendous! The huge blobs of css selectors increase rendering/start times for programs, and make debugging those themes a nightmare. The name is a pun on the "step" from NeXTSTEP and a reference to the Herman Hesse novel "Steppenwolf." So this is maybe a theme for the crotchity old man who doesn't care for the current trends. Changes from OneStepBack include: dark (grey50 on black) flat menus, dark tooltips, dark notifications, turquoise hilights, turquoise menu checks and radio marks, no stepper buttons on scrollbars, focus lines, various individual application fixes (GIMP, Thunar, Save/Open/Print dialogs, etc). I use this theme with my fotonix openbox theme and compton. Compton rules for 75% opacity for menus, tooltips, and notifications (along with window borders and dock windows) give the suite a sleek feel. This theme plays OK with QGTK. The scrollbar steppers come back and the selected menu items have a bevel. A port to QT5 would of course be better. ==installation== To install the theme, unzip the archive and copy the theme in your theme directory. There is no need for any extra //engine//. If you use the Plank dock, you can also copy the steppenwolf plank theme from the plank subdirectory of this repo into ~/.local/share/plank/themes/ ==Author== Author of steppenwolf: [Derek Stevens nilix(at)nilfm.cc].

A couple things still bother me, and there doesn't seem to be anything to be done: - Thunderbird: menu checks/radios are upscaled - GTK2 in general puts an unwanted 2px border around the menus. I'd prefer to leave this than add an engine dependency. ==Changelog== [steppenwolf] 0.631 add QT5 colorscheme 0.63 tweak panel/frame 0.62 flatten and remove padding from 'frame' elements 0.61 inverted some image assets, increased scroll/scalebar size for steppenwolf-dark 0.6 darken disabled menuitem color a bit, add steppenwolf-dark 0.5 remove bevel/borders from menubars and toolbars 0.4 add plank theme 0.3 fix Thunar pathbar buttons 0.2 update overflow arrows in menus 0.1 first release [OneStepBack] Version 0.992, working version Version 0.991, July 2018 - change the grey-brown color variant for a grey-brown-green-blue color variant - gtk2: improve generation of the derived colors - gtk2: improve colors of progressbar label - gtk3: improve color backdrop color in headerbar - gtk3: improve button color consistency in headerbar - gtk3: fix a bug in toolbar button hover - gtk3: fix a color name bug - improve differentation of selected text, menuitem and listitem colors Version 0.99, April 2018 - gtk3: improve spacing for icons in nautilus sidebar - gtk3: fix a color name bug - add a grey-brown color variant Version 0.98, March 2018 - gtk3: fix a color bug when toogle button in hover - fix a bug in the headerbar roundness - fix a color bug in the windows shadows - improve design of the thumbs on scales and scrollbars - improve colors of arrows and scrollbars - improve support for easy color changes - change colors of the variant color version: the colors are inspired by the earth-brown gtk3 theme Version 0.97, January 2018 - gtk3: fix a color bug in the flotting bottom information bar in nautilus - add a color variant - gtk3: fix a color bug in popover (modelbutton:active) - gtk3: drop support for gtk 3.16 and 3.18 Version 0.96, July 2017 - fix a color bug for mouse color selection in caja (mrnhmath) Version 0.95, July 2017 - fix a color bug for background in icon view in caja (mrnhmath) - fix a color name bug Version 0.94, July 2017 - fix a color bug for selected and unfocused wxgtk items Version 0.93, May 2017 - gtk3: fix a color bug in nautilus for selected and unfocused icons - gtk3: fix a color bug for selections in firefox gtk3 - change for a blue-gray color for progress bars and switch Version 0.92: November 2016 - gtk3: fix a color bug in headerbar pathbar - gtk3: add a left margin to arrow in menus - gtk2: fix wrong background color in rox when switching theme - gtk3: improve css syntax for font definitions Version 0.91, September 2016 - gtk3: disable the GtkWidget-window-dragging function that breaks things in gnumeric (thanks Ingo S.)
