Description: Delorean-Dark-3.8 is a highly polished glass and metal theme showcased within dramatic contrasts. Delorean-Dark-3.10 is designed to be sleek and less complicated than its previous incarnation. It's unfocused state resembles a pencil sketch, while its focused state sports multi-toned metallic surfaces. DeLorean-Dark-3.12 includes two versions Light and Dark. It resembles 3.8. And has many of its own special features, including round menu buttons.
Installation: Information can be viewed on download page.
Love this Delorean red 3.9 theme ! i have it running on mint mate looks Fantastic ! only one gripe the calendar text color is black on a dark background and i noticed the theme Delorean dark 3.10 has a nice grey text which you can see way better.
I am sorry, but honestly I do not know how to change the colors within the calendar. I'm not even sure where it picks up the colors from. I tried a few things and none of them worked. I wish I could have been of more help. But I am glad you like the theme, I am very proud of it.
Cheers- Josh
Josh, you are the man! I was going to wait until you released something new to tell what you did for me, but that might be a while and I want people to know.
People: I had a problem with Delorean-Dark and Delorean-Light 3.12 themes after upgrading to XFCE 4.12. I am not sure if others had the same issue, but I have not heard of anyone (issue is irrelevant here).
I spent several weeks trying to sort it out myself with no luck. I did try scores of other themes trying to find anything that could replace Delorean 3.12 themes. Nothing came close.
I finally asked Josh for help... and here is what he did for me:
Josh spent quite a few hours of his own time fixing "my" singular issue. And, he did this just for me; one user. I owe him a debt of gratitude!
Finally, let me say that not only does Josh make the most awesome themes by obviously putting his heart into his art, he also is willing to put himself out there to help his users.
Thank you Josh!
gtk-widgets.css
lines 5798-5821 & 5823-5832 aref for the scrollbar sliders. You can change the color there.
The theme doesn't have scrollbar buttons enabled but you can enable them:
1st: line 5617 enter true
2nd: line 5618 enter true
3rd: lines 5637-5648 need a background color
4th: lines 5707-5718 need a background color
That should do it. It sounds like a lot of work but it will only take a few mins.
Luck, Cheers!
Really good dark theme. But there are one problem for me. For the application, the scroll bar is dark and the button to deplace in this scroll bar is dark too. So I can't see it. It s not the case for all the version of this theme, but for the major part, and the version I prefer. So where is the part of the code I must change in the file gnome-applications.css to correct this (for the version DeLorean-Dark-3.12)
It should be:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/themes
not
sudo add-apt repository ppa:noobslab/themes
Just in cause you're having troubles add the PPA.
Nice Theme, BTW, Adding The Noobs Lab PPA is a must do for any fresh install.
sorry to intrude BOOSPY me if you want to change the background color of the item you just have to edit the acrhivo "gtk-main.css" in this line: @ define-colored theme_bg_color # 2c2c2c;, changes color as you wish for your if you want, test if it works, but rather think you're using gnome 3.12.2 and it is well known that this has even more errors such as the transparent background, delorean issues in the use and function gnome-flashback to perfection, luck !!!!
sorry, but have another question, so the backgroundimage does not really work, is it posible to change the backgroundclolor from the grey to black? I have testet the string "NautilusWindow * {background-color: gray;}" in some css-sheets from you but this does not work, i found this information here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/252145/how-can-i-conditionally-change-the-nautilus-background-color but... i'am not a coder, so i need a little help... or must a change the backround for everything?
Best regards
Could you please furthur explain what you are looking to change? Is it the background within Nautilus' Window under the icons and also the tab color under the icons?
To change that open the gtk-widgets.css
around Quote:
line #4857 change the 'background-color: @theme_unfocused_base_color;'
Line #4937 again change the 'background-color'.
Line #8488 change 'background-color'.
Line # 8443 change 'background-color'.
You may also wish to change the corresponding ':backdrop' colors.
Hope this helps.
i changed this:
gtk-widgets.css: background-color: #262626;
gtk-widgets.css: background-color: #73d216;
gtk-widgets.css: background-color: #edd400;
gtk-widgets-backgrounds.css: background-color: #3a3a3a;
gtk-widgets-backgrounds.css: background-color: #3a3a3a;
gtk-widgets-backgrounds.css: background-color: #3f3f3f;
gnome-applications.css: background-color: #626262;
The fist line had an nice effect (thanks endbyte), then i've changed all other lines to #000000, but there was no effect. Maybe the gnome3 themeengine is really a little bit buggy, but ok, i can live with that.
Thanks and best regards.
Really good job. I like it so much! But one littel problem, the Nautilusbackground, comes and go away. For example, when i change the icontheme, the background comes, when i close nautilus and reopen it, the background is gone. ;(
Nautilus drawing the (metal)image file on the desktop is a known bug. The theme comes with a workaround, unfortunately it doesn't work 100%. The only thing to do is restart Nautilus just as you have been.
Cheers!
the best theme I've used so far, the detail, the tasteful color scheme, fully functional, I have not had any failures so far, thanks for sharing and I congratulate !!!
I've come across with a minor issue in HP Device Manager using DeLorean-Dark-3.10 as seen in this screenshot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/39189022/DeloreanDark-3.10-HP.png
The last two ("Print Settings" and "Printer Control") tabs are OK, but all text in the first three ("Actions", "Status", "Supplies") tabs are dark on dark bgcolor (plus there are white areas as seen between and around rows in the first "Actions" tab only)
I have a failing HD and the HP app won't even load. Firstly it looks like a poorly designed app, and Secondly I can only think of one possible fix. Open the gtk2.0/gtkrc go to line #3191 and add Quote:
Thanks, but it didn't work; never mind. You're right about this app. It's also quite useless anyway. As I don't really need it to use my printer, I've decided to install it (and have less clutter) anyway ;-)

Love this theme. Could you update it for gtk 3.20? Looks like gnome went and broke every theme with their update again.

These are the only possibilities I can think of.

Sorry that didn't work. Yeah, I agree, its a useless app. Cheers!
