Dark toolbar for Nautilus? #11

Open Sadi58 opened 10 years ago

Sadi58 commented 10 years ago

First of all, thanks a million for bringing this great theme pack back to life :-) I love it so much that I've even made two extra versions by simply blending LightDarkest and TributeBlue, and adding two different sets of window control buttons: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/MediterraneanShiki?content=162798 http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/MediterraneanBeforeDawn?content=162747

As for the issue: could we again have the same dark bgcolor for nautilus toolbar/locationbar please?

Dear @Sadi58, can you propose your changes in the form of a pull request here? Depending on the situation, we can provide extra flavors of the themes (or incorporate them in the themes themselves).

The themes are undergoing some refactoring, so that the whole is more easily maintainable (with a lot of contributions done by @robertpainsi), but any contribution and joining forces that we can is welcome, so that we avoid fragmentation and have one set of themes that is usable (instead of having a bunch that are half-working and unmaintained).

Any expertise from those in the "theming community" is appreciated to have a theme that is sober (not "toyish", like most themes out there are, unfortunately), attractive, and non-intrusive.

Also, if you can, please spread the word in a call for help in sites like gnome-look.org or similar ones, like mentioned in https://github.com/rbrito/pkg-mediterranean-gtk-themes/issues/25

Thanks,

Rogério.

Dear @rbrito, I entirely agree with you and wish I could do more but I'm not a themer at all. What I did with the good old Mediterranean Series was a very simple copy&paste thing. At the moment I'm afraid can only make such suggestions for improvement. I really wish you can fully revive the popular Mediterranean Series theme pack in a coherent and consistent manner (IMHO the most striking flaws at the moment are the corners and toolbar bgcolors). I think there is another good example here: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Medilight?content=167422 It's only one theme (MediterraneanLight) with nice round corners, same toolbar bgcolor in nautilus, synaptic and even GTK2 apps, a nice bgcolor in nautilus sidebar, etc. I don't know, maybe you can try and apply this design to the entire set of Mediterranean Series, maybe you can join forces with that themer to achieve your goal so nicely described above. Also, if you wish I can send you my slightly customized set of Shiki window control buttons if you intend to use them.
