Light version?

Open Defman21 opened this issue 8 years ago • 10 comments

I would like to have a light version of this theme, with light titles, etc. Do you have any plans on creating it?

I am a dark theme fan! However, this looks like an interesting approach for the same! It needs a fair bit of conceptualization, including the color palette etc, however, this could be very well, worth the effort!

In case you'll be wondering how to implement that in one theme - you can move current colors to gtk-dark.css and put light colors in gtk.css and add a note to the readme that if you want to see dark theme, open gnome tweak tool and enable Global Dark Theme option (this setting makes theme using gtk-dark.css)

Sure, that makes sense! just need to tweak some colors to have a light version! Shoot over a PR, if you have anything prepared! (Against a new branch, for development of light version I think!)

I've played a bit with it but first we need to deal with #36 if we want to accept any PR's for this issue. (for now titlebar background isn't something you can customize via gtk.css)

Just a sidenote: Unity Tweak Tool doesn't has that option to set a dark or light Theme, so people will have to use Gnome Tweak Tool. IMO, Unity Tweak Tool is more user-friendly.

This could be implemented as a different theme then. However, I'm not interested in developing light theme anymore. You could fork it or whatever, or just wait for Ubuntu 16.10 (where gtk 3.20 will arrive) and then fork Flatabulous again, make some tweaks to colors and publish it with a different name (Probably Flatabulous-Light will be ok there).

Just wanted to note! But the current theme is almost perfect, so there's no need to make things more complicated.

Yeah I don't blame you. Thanks for the note :)

@linusg I have been wanting to settle this Unity Tweak Tool vs Unity Tweak debate for a while now. I think The Unity Tweak Tool is the better choice of the two. For people who want to tinker a bit more, The Gnome Tweak Tool might be better suited, but this breaks badly on Gnome 3.20+, so I wouldn't recommend using all the features from there.

For the light theme, I am particularly a dark version fan, and would love to accept some PRs, although in my experience, this theme isn't exactly dark, or light. This is in the middle somewhere, but I would love to look at some ideas :)

and as @Defman21 already pointed out, Thanks for the note :)
