Evolution to MacOS "Big Sur" theme

[AnnoyingTechnology]

Are you planning on following the new MacOS Big Sur visual guidelines ? If you are lacking time for that, I might be able to help !

yes, it's in the works. However, we have to update our tools before we're able to work on that.

If you wish to submit changes, you're welcome to do so. Since we work with SCSS (see here), I'd recommend it that as well. I'd say the iOS theme already has some things very close to Big Sur

work so far:

[Elbullazul]

Work left:

• [x] more padding in headerbar
• [ ] have flexible way to adjust the offset (bash script?)
• [x] headerbar buttons are flat
• [x] general button and entry styles
• [x] colors
• [x] titlebar radius increased
• [x] dark variant
• [x] updated shell and window manager themes
• [x] notebooks
• [x] new sidebar

you can add more if I missed any and I'll add them here

If backdrop-filter: blur() is supported by gnome, that would get the sidebar closer to the original.

[Elbullazul]

tried it, but gnome doesn't support any blurring function

Yes, it's already implemented, as you can see in the image.

The titlebar has a fake sidebar part. I was pretty satisfied with the result, but maybe it's not so apparent.

... gonna get it after work 😎

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 😎 with Gnome 😎

[christianbearslyclark]

It's totally Epic !

I think the top bar may be too transparent for my taste tho. LOL

maybe 15% more opaque ? LOL

[Elbullazul]

Looks terrible. Maybe if text is changed to black and a shadow is applied it will be more visible?

Getting it to look close to original workout blur is going to be challenging

[christianbearslyclark]

The theme has an issue with window bars as you can see in this image

[Elbullazul]

It's not the theme. If you repositioned the window buttons to the left, for some reason gnome can't draw the titlebar due to a lack of space.

Gnome settings is also broken with buttons in the middle of the titlebar.

You should open a ticket on gnome's bug tracker, but they clearly don't care about this feature anymore

Oh ! Thanks ! :(

[akhilsukh]

Great theme, would it be possible to add a minimal variant? The titlebar is really tall.

[Elbullazul]

@akhilsukh01 noted

[Elbullazul]

@christianbearslyclark the menu opacity has been increased, menu is now usable again

[Elbullazul]

Transition is complete. Will probably add a way to change the sidebar gap for nautilus in the future.

@akhilsukh01 I'm moving your request to a separate issue
