@lots0logs The repository of Numix Gnome Shell theme is here: https://github.com/satya164/elegance-colors

It is not maintained anymore. We need to ask @satya164 what to do with it.

lots0logs commented 8 years ago

@khurshid-alam The Gnome Shell theme in the Numix-Frost repo came from @satya164 :laughing: It works but it still needs to be updated at some point :grimacing:

khurshid-alam commented 8 years ago

@lots0logs Oh cool! So you want gnome-shell theme to be maintained here rather than at elegance-colors?

Well, I agree, I think it would be too much of a work if we are going to maintain elegance-colors (tooling, color-picker etc need rework). The only thing we need to do is to redirect users from elegance-colors to here for reporting issues and PRs.

satya164 commented 8 years ago

@khurshid-alam Yeah, we can maintain the Shell theme here instead of elegance colors, since it's no longer maintained. But I don't think we need to redirect users to here, since it's a completely different project.

marmis85 commented 8 years ago

I was wondering, if you are not going to keep the elegance-colors configuration utility anyways, wouldn't it be more maintainable in the long run to rewrite the theme from scratch with SASS? The Adwaita shell theme has been written in SASS since 3.16

satya164 commented 8 years ago

@marmis85 Wanna do it? :D

marmis85 commented 8 years ago

@satya164 I'd love to help, but I would need some guidance, I've never really built a shell theme myself :D

bilelmoussaoui commented 8 years ago

I can give it a try. But never created a shell theme before. Is there any code style that is should follow ? :+1:

sojusnik commented 8 years ago

Did somebody found meanwhile a proper replacement for the default Adwaita gnome-shell theme for Gnome 3.18 to somehow match the Numix Gtk theme? This one was my closest choice for 3.16, but on 3.18 it looks even worse.

lots0logs commented 8 years ago

@sojusnik Have you tried NumixFrost?

sojusnik commented 8 years ago

@lots0logs I know NumixFrost, but its color scheme is not matching the one in Numix. Apart from that, both the GTK and the Gnome-Shell theme look weird on Ubuntu 16.04.

lots0logs commented 8 years ago

@sojusnik It doesnt support ubuntu for the gtk theme. The shell theme is in need of an update for sure but it does still work for now :sweat_smile:

lburgazzoli commented 7 years ago

Is there any plan to release a gnome-shell theme ? I've tried NumixFrost on Gnome 3.22 but Numix is not listed among shell themes.

lots0logs commented 7 years ago

@lburgazzoli How did you install it?

lburgazzoli commented 7 years ago

sudo make install, then tried to configure it with gnome-tweak-tool

lots0logs commented 7 years ago

Ah okay. The makefile doesnt install the gnome-shell theme. You will have to manually copy it into the theme's directory (/usr/share/themes/Numix-Frost)

lburgazzoli commented 7 years ago

I see, thx.

btw the theme appear to be a little bit too space consuming:

Is there any plan to strip this wasting space ?

lots0logs commented 7 years ago

Yes there will be some adjustments. Though its not going to be as much as the regular numix theme which IMO doesnt have enough space in key areas.

lburgazzoli commented 7 years ago

I do not know which areas you are thinking about but I think window borders and tabs should use less space as possible, i.e. when a window is maximized you do not want the top-bar, then the window border and maybe some tabs to waste precious space especially while coding :)

Maybe you could create a Numix-Slim variant which uses less space as possible or make it easy to configure it (do not know how feasible is that).

sojusnik commented 7 years ago

Any updates on the Gnome shell theme? Gnome 3.24 is already out. Since Gnome will soon become the default DE in Ubuntu again, it would be the right moment to work on a Numix Gnome shell theme.

sojusnik commented 7 years ago

It seems, that somebody recently started to work on that: https://github.com/hsharrison/numix-gnome-theme

Corsseir commented 7 years ago

Hey, I can start working on theme immediately, but I would like to ask you to create subdirectory of numixproject called for example numix-gnome-shell-theme. I will commit my changes there. I have 3+ years experience with html5, css3 and javascript(jquery, angular, react) and I work as frontend developer.

lots0logs commented 7 years ago

The theme would be maintained inside this repo actually. You can submit a PR with the theme located here: src/desktops/gnome-shell

Corsseir commented 7 years ago

Ok, thanks for response.

khurshid-alam commented 7 years ago

@Corsseir We already have it with somewhat a different name : https://github.com/numixproject/elegance-colors

@lots0logs Wouldn't it be better if this goes into numixproject/numix-gnome-shell-theme ?

lots0logs commented 7 years ago

@khurshid-alam I don't think so. Remember we had discussed this on Telegram a few months ago?

khurshid-alam commented 7 years ago

@Corsseir https://github.com/numixproject/numix-gnome-shell-theme

lots0logs commented 7 years ago

@Corsseir As you can see, we haven't come to an agreement internally as to how we are going to structure things going forward. But don't worry, that won't affect any work you contribute to the gnome-shell theme. It'll be fine no matter where we end up putting the files :wink:

Corsseir commented 7 years ago

Hah, ok, no problem for me :)

Yes, we came to an agreement. For the time being we will use https://github.com/numixproject/numix-gnome-shell-theme.

sojusnik commented 7 years ago

Is there any progress on the gnome shell theme?

Corsseir commented 7 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

Hello, any update on this? Thanks!

paspro commented 6 years ago

Perhaps next year... In the meantime I use the attached theme I adjusted for GNOME 3.26 and its support for transparencies which works great with the Numix GTK theme. One may want to adjust the font to use in gnome-shell.css as well as the base theme:

@import url("/usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/ubuntu.css");

stage {
    font-family: Roboto Regular;
    font-size: 11pt;
}
