Description: Fork of another theme of mine, Skewaita, to make it even more skeuomorphic, but trying to keep legibility.
It is a skeuomorphic theme (that is, non-flat, that tries to imitate real-world objects and interfaces, like real three-dimensional buttons).
This theme is based on Adwaita GTK3 and GTK4 (source sasscs!) and built from there. Sources are also available.
GTK2 is based on Clearlooks.
It is a light theme but with gray tones, in order to be easy on the eyes. Accents are bright blue, so selected text stays the same color. Disabled elements have a subtle red tint, in order to clearly identify their state.
I've created a way to use different color themes:
- go to `source/templates/` directory and run `./use_scheme.sh name_of_color_scheme` (for example: `./use_scheme.sh colorscheme-DeeplySkeuo.sh` - move one directory upwards with `cd ..` and rebuild theme, using new selected scheme, and bearing in mind whether it's a light or a dark theme: `./compile.sh light` or `./compile.sh dark`
For now there are three color schemes: DeeplySkeuo's, the original Skewaita and a dark one ("Soil", using the colors from this other theme of mine)
Included themes:
- GTK: gtk2, gtk3, gtk4 - xfwm4 (not really matching, it needs to be redone) - emerald (aka beryl) window decorator (for compiz)
Donations I've decided to add an option to donate money: If I had enough time and income, I'd definitely dedicate much more time to this activity, which I enjoy very much. Thank you!
Thanks! Wow, not really. Making an icon theme is a huge job. I only maintain "Buuf for Many Desktops". An icon theme has literally thousands of icons. However, there's one theme which fits quite well, for me: Newaita Reborn (here in Pling: https://www.pling.com/p/1625931), and it is very complete (not totally, like Papirus, but very good anyway).
10I found one of the coolest and most beautiful themes I've ever seen around here... I just didn't find options to use the gnome shell or the Cinnamon toolbar to get something more uniform. If you have any options to use in Gnome or Cinnamon I would be very grateful.
Hi, thanks! :)
Not really sure about Gnome, since I don't use it daily (though I've made some attempts, I always end up changing). As for Cinnamon, I guess using Mint-X Aqua is good enough. Actually Mint-X is a wonderful skeuomorphic theme, just too bright for my taste (that's why I've cloned the repo and created my own variations, closer to DeeplySkeuo... I might publish some!)
Thanks for the suggestion! I had forgotten that the Mint X have been so cool and I'm downloading DeeplySkeuo. By the way, I'm sorry for the response time.

10 ever thought about making an icon theme to match your skeuo themes? also this is amazing

8 Both this one and his Sewaita theme look well thought out and have clear controls.
Great again ;-)
