Add GTK 3.20 support

[capitanx]

The current themes don't work in GTK 3.20 due the CSS changes. https://blogs.gnome.org/mclasen/2015/11/20/a-gtk-update/

[ghost]

is ambiance ported to gtk 3.20. a pure css (not scss) based port to gtk3 is needed.

Please do try to ask raveit/ulbricht from mate themes for an idea.dont know him but it might be useful to ask him for a hint. think its time to wait a bit. 3.20 changes are heavy and the number of themes for 3.20 decreased for a reason.

[Elbullazul]

@capitanx sorry for the late reply, hadn't seen these issues.

just like @bluedxca93 says, 3.20 break a lot of things and I don't even have a stable code base to work on (Windows 10 for 3.20 is on beta and still lots of substitutions needed)

I'll let you know whenever I've finished working on the base code, and then count maybe two weeks till all themes are compatible

hope gnome 3.22 won't break themes harder than 3.20 did...

[ghost]

@elbulazull check my port script from bluedxca93 18/20 .it substitutes a lot of classes already.trained it against adwaita and traditional ok.

also use GTK_DEBUG=interactive gtkapplication name.

[ghost]

@Elbullazul now loaded up aero expirimental based on 3.20 . ccbyncnd . for heavy mods cc by nc sa

[Elbullazul]

@bluedxca93 I just checked, aero works (almost flawlessly)! Just one more thing, the notebooks are the same whatever their state :

[ghost]

@Elbullazul noted some changes i'll add to my porting script.There are some bugs left in the script and the theme. The script can't make a full port actually. notebook and toolbar/headerbar as well as one menu type needs some future improvement. But it works stable enough to work a bit with it.One bug that really is anoing is selected foreground/background.Scrollbar is also not final but the progress is not bad..

[Elbullazul]

@bluedxca93 yeah, it's definetely better than

progressbar is actually pretty nice, I'm fixing mine with padding

I'm kind of annoyed that gnome 3.22 is coming out in september already and we're just getting started with themes...

[ghost]

im only doing aero for 3.20 no need to port other themes to. it. 3.18 is in an ubuntu lts release. 3.22 will delete some more gtk classes . Itll be more seigned for scss. However scss is only good for logical mostly flat skins.

[Elbullazul]

@bluedxca93 I had a look at the original adwaita css and scss files

man, scss was awful long and had WAY MORE styling elements (plus colors are defined in a weird manner)

[ghost]

@Elbullazul some of these are missing, but adwaita is also missing some style elements. But its the same on gtk 18 adwaita and ambiance. the scss layout also generates sometimes states like checked:focus:hover:backdrop. where is that necessary?

[Elbullazul]

as far as I know, this looks OK to start porting the Redmond Collection to 3.20, right?

[ghost]

@elbullazul It looks nice. Problem might be that this works definitely well on 8 and 10 but aero luna etc. possibly not. what codebase did you use?. send now ravefinity a patched ambiance version.Ambiance needs rewrite.can you send me css bundled out of scss from numix?

[Elbullazul]

@bluedxca93 I used the original adwaita theme (lots of gradients), so I think it should behave normally

distributing the colors will be a little harder

I'll have a look at the numix code and come back later

[ghost]

@elbullazul scale.vertical slider instead of scale slider.vertical. hope it helps...

[Elbullazul]

@bluedxca93 I'm seriously considering to port the themes instead of doing a compete rewrite. I'll let you know if I write patches for known issues.

P. S. The text selected color issue may be related to the textview class or tag

[ghost]

https://github.com/bluedxca93/aero-experimental will be updated soon.

textview issue found and fixed. notebook fixed a bit more.(im not finished with it.).

maybe you can write changes in this way whenever possible:

s/original_string/patched_string/g

and change . > . : > : newline in string > \n

[Elbullazul]

we started porting the Windows 3 theme to 3.20

lots of errors as of now...

[Elbullazul]

that went fast! almost flawless theme now!

[ghost]

looks good.

[capitanx]

Thank you a lot. It works perfect. :) Can be win95 the next?

[Elbullazul]

@capitanx we're working on it, it`s almost finished

[Elbullazul]

@capitanx Windows 9x for 3.20 is now pushed to the repo, haven`t got time to package it up

enjoy!

[ghost]

@elbullazul congrats for getting it up. You know ambiance-aero is vista like . Question Should i make luna too , or focus on ice theme set first??

I don`t know, luna is already available (petrucci4prez)

I would say, port ice first, then luna

[ghost]

[Elbullazul]

@bluedxca93 how finished do you think the aero theme is?

[ghost]

@elbullazul check it on 3.20 and you ll see. just make a screen if you found a bug.

[Elbullazul]

@cinnamoner cinnamon is built for mint, and except for arch, I don`t know how it could behave

I just know that fedora 24 has cinnamon in its repos and it`s supposed to work better than the one used in ubuntu

@bluedxca93 I would add some shadows to the window frames. Aero looks too flat / disorganized without them

[Elbullazul]

@cinnamoner I`m waiting for @bluedxca93 to finish porting aero. Then maybe I can attack the vista theme

[ghost]

@elbullazul make a screen without and do and do edit this image to how it should look. then im trying my best to do that.

regards bluedxca93

[Elbullazul]

ex.

vs

[ghost]

vs newest version 3.20.

As you can see it looks almost perfect. But its newest version from github and not your earlier setup.

[Elbullazul]

@bluedxca93 correct, I must have forgotten to update it

it looks nice! Can I propose you change the text-color of the titlebuttons to white with a text-shadow, so the icons look like windows aero?

[ghost]

@elbullazul of course yes, just write me how and ill add that feature!

[Elbullazul]

@cinnamoner I would go with apricity, it looks neater than manjaro

@bluedxca93 something like

.titlebar .titlebutton {
    color: white;
    text-shadow: 0 0 2px black;
}

[ghost]

@elbullazul / @feren now early port of ice online on github, maybe make a screenshot. regards bluedxca93

[Elbullazul]

@cinnamoner please post them in a new issue report. may prove usfeful ;)

[dominichayesferen]

@Elbullazul Did you get the problem I posted on Gitter about the solid block? If you want to see what I mean by it:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt remove shotwell*
sudo apt install pantheon-photos

Then run Photos and choose a theme like Embedded as GTK

[Elbullazul]

fixed on latest commit

[dominichayesferen]

@Elbullazul It also affects macOS so if you haven't updated that one yet...

[Elbullazul]

I did

[dominichayesferen]

Nope, still happens here on the latest Git version of it: (Cinnamon Stable)

[Elbullazul]

pushing commit in short

[Elbullazul]

except for the vista theme, every other theme has 3.20 compatibility, so I'm closing it, since @bluedxca93 has the aero theme which looks OK for it to be used with the vista theme
