Getting Started

To use the theme follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

• GTK 3.20+

Installation

1. Download the repo, or clone it:

   git clone https://github.com/AndreiMiculita/darkcold.git

2. Put it in your ~/.themes directory

   mv darkcold ~/.themes

   2.a. Optionally, delete the darkcold/.git directory to save space.

   rm -rf darkcold/.git

3. Activate it as a theme from your DE's settings.

For the Firefox theme:

1. Find your Firefox profile directory:

   firefox --profilemanager

   You can find it by hovering over the profile name in the profile manager. It should be something like ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default-release. You can also find it by going to about:support in Firefox.

2. Make a chrome directory in your profile directory if it doesn't exist.

   mkdir ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx/chrome

3. Copy the userContent.css file to the chrome directory.

   cp userContent.css ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx/chrome

Roadmap

There's no roadmap at the moment.

See the open issues for a full list of proposed features (and known issues).

This was forked because the original maintainer is inactive, and PRs are not being merged.

Notable changes from the original:

• Add distinct unmaximize button for Metacity (the original theme had the same button for maximize and unmaximize)
• Format css files (still not fully formatted)
• This project also includes the Cinnamon theme, including a PR that was left unmerged there. The following changes were made to the Cinnamon theme:
  • Add padding to window list item box
  • Fix applet hover so box and text light up together
