BlueMenta-dark

[0x0000ff]

A dark version of the BlueMenta theme- as the title would suggest

So far, the brisk menu has menu highlighting colors that hide the text and firefox's csd is missing the minimize button.

I prefer the light BlueMenta but the dark variant looks very nice. With a quick test i see that the unfocuses titlebar text color isn't readable on a dark background. I think it's C_title_unfocused in metacity theme-2/3. Do you like to maintain the theme?

@0x0000ff Any news? To be clear i do not have any free resource to maintain another theme. So, without a new maintainer i can't add the theme. But maybe @mate-desktop/core-team has a different opinion

I don't really have additional time to take on maintaining another theme myself. I am also worried about "bus factor" with the political hornet's nest in my country this year

Hi Luke,

Sorry for the late reply. There are some things I've been meaning to tweak and I'll have a look at them tomorrow, including the title bar text. I'll consider requests to do further tweaks to the theme, and fix any discovered glitches if requested.

One thing of note. The button to restore a maximised window in Firefox does not show on the light or dark version of this theme.

Firefox is extremely difficult to theme or work on

Would changing title to black be better? I also adjusted the highlighting to refine the engraved look. Might do that with the focused text as well.

At a further glance, it looks like the 'engraved' look might be the font being rendered on my lcd screen...

I also made changes to the focused title text to make the letters have more of an engraved effect. Would you want that included?

I found one error in this, mate-appearance-properties will show it with (mate-appearance-properties:55838): Gtk-WARNING **: 14:20:19.545: Theme parsing error: gtk-main.css:11:62: Missing semicolon at end of color definition

line 11 in gtk-main @define-color theme_unfocused_base_color @insensitive_bg_color, 1.015; /* I don't want the same color, hope not to hurt usability to much here */

Should be

`@define-color theme_unfocused_base_color shade (@insensitive_bg_color, 1.015); / I don't want the same color, hope not to hurt usability to much here /``

which is the same way bluementa and menta handle thios

I can confirm this fixes the problem, no errors reported here on using the theme with this applied. Waiting for another review since this is a whole new theme and more to maintain
