GnomishBeige is a clean beige theme for GTK3, plus a matching GTK2 theme that depends on the latest Murrine and Pixmap engines.
2) Please take a look at the file "README" in the theme folder for a tip on Epiphany.
3) You won't need the source package unless you want to modify the theme or make a deb or an rpm package from it.
Removed the dark variant (which was useless anyway; dark theme lovers could use GnomishDark).
Updated for GTK+-3.10 but should work with 3.8 too.
Dropped the Shell theme (its maintenance wasn't possible due to the shaky state of Gnome-Shell).
Added a matching Unity theme for Ubuntu Trusty. Thanks to Alin (hotice).
No dependency on Adwaita anymore.
Added support for Gnome's client side decorations (second screnshot).
This is my most favorite theme of all time. I've been using it quite a while now. It's beautiful...and yet easy on the eyes. IMO, very tastefully done.
Thank you vey much for your kind words!
I'm sorry to say that, keeping a distance from everything related to Gnome or GTK, most probably I won't update this theme anymore and, due to the Gnome dev's habit of breaking themes, it won't work with a future version of GTK.
The only GTK theme, that I may update, is E17gtk (for use under E).
Ubuntu 14.04 (Unity) now uses GTK3 CSS themed window decorations... could you please add support for it?
I update my works based on what's in Debian Testing/Unstable because I prefer to have a really stable and working system. I also keep an eye on the latest STABLE Ubuntu too (on VirtualBox) because of Unity. So please wait until Ubuntu 14.4 becomes stable or use a compatible theme! This theme may not even work with gtk-3.12.
OK, I'm downloading Trusty's ISO image now. If it works smoothly on VirtualBox, I'll add support for the new Unity decorations soon because the direction Ubuntu goes in seems promising to me.
The overlay-scrollbar bug shows itself only with some (rare) themes that use a general gradient for windows. GnomishBeige isn't among them but GnomishGray is.
I'll add a Unity theme to my other themes later.
I added a Unity theme for Trusty and tested it on VirtualBox. The theme is updated now. It would be great if you test it too.
Thanks for telling me about the new CSS Unity theme!
Thank you! I'm using it now and it works great. Also, it looks like the overlay-scrollbars and black widgets bug doesn't occur any more in Ubuntu 14.04.
Very good and smart theme.
Don't stop, go on this theme.
Thank you! I usually update the theme(s) whenever the latest version of GTK+-3.0 (Gnome3) comes to Debian unstable.
would have it easier with updating your nice themes.
NoobsLab (https://launchpad.net/~noobslab/) and WebUpd8 (https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/) nicely pack all my Gnome related themes.
Apart from that, on the one hand, PPA only covers Debian based systems and, othe other hand, my focus is on KDE nowadays (Gnome3 breaks themes with every update besides many other problems it creates for users).
Thanks for this Theme. I've been using it for a while and I love it.
Since a few days or weeks, in applications such as transmission or evince, the menus are clear, instead of dark, which makes them hard to read and unconsistent with other applications. I suppose it is a matter of GTK2 / GTK3 difference.
Is this a known issue ? Is there something I can do about it ?
As I was busy with updating my other two themes, I haven't updated GnomishBeige yet, so the issue may be because your installed GTK version is 3.8.
I just tested and it seems to work like a charm.
Thank you for confirming that the new version works OK.
That console warning isn't related to the theme and seems harmless.
I don't know how to check that but you're probably right about GTK 3.8 being the cause.
Is there a chance GnomishBeige could be integrated in debian repos ? A place I could support that integration ?
So you're a Debian user like I am :) Yes, GTK+ has been updated to 3.8 in Debian Testing but Gnome is still 3.4.
Please read about the methods of adding repositories to apt or download the packages manually.
Thanks for the links. I subscribed to this page, so I'll be informed of new versions.
Yet, this is a nice theme, which deserves audience, so I'd support its integration in debian, be it as a gtk-theme-gnomish package or as part of a greater package like gtk-themes-extra-something.
Thanks a lot for your support! Debian is very strict in adding new software to its repositories and I admire it for that. If it weren't so, you'd have Gnome-3.8 now, with all of its troubles and bugs (it's in Experimental).
I think a GTK theme should be directly related to Gnome for them to add it to gnome-themes-extra and GnomishBeige isn't so. I'm not sure though.
I downloaded the source from here and found no issue: I used the same command as you did and the file gtk.gresource was created correctly.
Are you sure you haven't changed or removed anything? Please download the source and retry! That command should be issued from inside the folder gnomishbeige-20121210.
I'm building it on launchpad and it has worked for the past few months.
I've also had to add "libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev" as build dependency or else it would fail to build with another error.
