Terminal colors, Scrollbar, etc.

[NikoKrause]

I really like this theme. The only issues I get, are when I set CinnXP as Controls in the themes settings of Cinnamon. Everything else looks great.

My issues are: I got dotted boxes. The Terminal has black as background color and black as text color, so you can't see anything if you write something into your terminal. Also I can't see the scrollbar, e.g. if I open a PDF file and want to scroll down the scrollbar is grey as is the background.

Maybe I'm compiling it wrong. You write the Requirements are: Gtk 3.18 Pixmap and Adwaita gtk2 engines Ruby Sass (for building css from source)

Which packages exactly do I need to install (in a newly installed Linux Mit 17.3 Cinnamon OS) before compiling your theme?

I habe installed: sudo apt-get install ruby-full bundler libxml2-utils sudo gem install sass

But how do I get GTK 3.18 to work?

Thanks for your work.

I use Arch for my daily driver so I usually develop for the latest packages first...which in this case is gtk 3.18, cinnamon 2.8, etc. Linux Mint 17.3 uses gtk 3.10 (from ubuntu trusty) so unless you want to force install something upstream this is the latest available version.

fortunately for you and everyone else who uses mint, I'm just finishing up a gtk3 analogue for this theme that is tuned for gtk 3.10, so you should be able to use it w/o intervention...should be done around this weekend

That are great new. Thanks for your effort.

I have a pull request for you: There is a way to put the opened menu to the left border of the screen.

You need to change two lines in the cinnamon.css file.

in .popup-menu-boxpointer change -arrow-border-radius: 24px; -boxpointer-gap: -1.5px;

(actually this problem was discussed and solved here: https://github.com/mintystark/starkmenu/pull/11)

Hey,

can you help me with my menu? I think this has something to do with the cinnamon.css file in CinnXP.

I want to get rid of the gap on top of the menu. And I want the bottom panel to be higher.

Thanks

@petrucci4prez: One more question, then I'm done. I changed the background color of nemos sidebar. Now this happens:

When the window is inactive, the background color of selected directory gets gray. I want it to stay blue.

[ndwarshuis]

which applet is this? it appears to be the starkmenu but when I pull the one from spices it looks like this:

did either of you modify it in any way or update it to work with 2.8?

[NikoKrause]

Yes it is StarkMenu. This happenes also to me with the applet from spices. Here is a fixed Version: https://github.com/NikoKrause/starkmenu

@petrucci4prez: I solved the problem with the StarkMenu. But not that one with the sidebar in nemo. A little hint where to locate the problem would be great.

Here's the part of the cinnamon-applications.css file I changed in:

@define-color nemo_sidebar_bg #6d89dd; @define-color nemo_sidebar_fg #fff; @define-color nemo_sidebar_selected_fg #fff;

/****

• Nemo * ****/ NemoTrashBar.info, NemoXContentBar.info, NemoQueryEditor.toolbar.primary-toolbar { background-color: @theme_bg_color; background-image: none; color: @theme_fg_color; text-shadow: none; border: none; box-shadow: inset 1px 1px alpha(white, 0.6), inset -1px -1px alpha(black, 0.2); }

NemoSearchBar.info { color: white; background-color: #d6dff7; border: 1px solid @borders_color; border-width: 0px 0px 1px 0px; }

NemoWindow .sidebar .view { -GtkWidget-focus-padding: 0; -GtkWidget-focus-line-width: 1; -GtkTreeView-vertical-separator: 0; background-color: @nemo_sidebar_bg; color: @nemo_sidebar_fg; text-shadow: none; icon-shadow: none; }

NemoWindow .sidebar .view:selected { border-color: @nemo_sidebar_bg; color: @nemo_sidebar_selected_fg; text-shadow: 1px 1px alpha(black, 0.2); icon-shadow: 1px 1px alpha(black, 0.2); }

NemoWindow .sidebar .expander:selected { border-color: @nemo_sidebar_selected_fg; color: @nemo_sidebar_selected_fg; }

@NikoKrause

just updated the package with the blue sidebar bg as cinnamoner has it above (looks more like XP than what I had)

for your curiosity, the selector for which you were looking is "NemoWindow .sidebar row" (with "hover," "selected," and "backdrop" performing their expected pseudo-selector functions)

@petrucci4prez: Thanks it works great.
