LAVA - Complete Desktop [new color animations this update]
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work):
This ultra-dark-blue theme provides users with five easy to see accent colors. Here, the hybrid theme blends three of the most trusted architectures in the GTK ecosystem to yield a truly unique desktop experience. LAVA users enjoy the best of what the Arc, Material, and Numix design standards can provide - curated to bring a warm, colorful, and elegant experience to the desktop. Ultra-dark-blue-on-ultra-dark-blue with one additional color just where you need it.
This is the matching desktop theme.

There, you will find three styles of Numix icons and folders that have been carefully crafted to match all five of the LAVA desktop flavors, though can surely compliment other desktop themes that sport matching color hues.
Special thanks to the Numix team for their inspiration, expertise and contributions at: https://github.com/numixproject/numix-icon-theme. Some icons are based on Numix mimetypes icons created by the Numix Team - under GPL3.
Manual Installation Is Easy:
For themes: 1) Extract the "tar.xz" file into your "~/.themes/" folder - to install for current user only - or into the "/usr/share/themes/" folder - for the theme to be applied globally. 2) Use the GNOME Tweak Tool or an equivalent app to enable it for your desktop.

If installing manually, make sure to install the dependency: "Murrine theme engine" if you do not already have it; and update your GTK+packages if you have not.
Logging out and then logging back in may be necessary on some operating systems to fully implement themes and icons.

23-9-12: Version 2.1.7
This update revisits the logout and password dialog buttons. Here, in addition to last update's text and background elements being colored to show a cautionary red hue (hover) or active green hue (clicked), the standardized, light-blue text was re-colored to show the individual flavor's accent color when not activated (not hovered-over or clicked). Furthermore, a brighter text value was applied to focused button text. This enhancement was pushed to all five flavor variants: 2c2cd94

10 I'm glad you brought back something like this. You had something like this a few years back, with the cobalt blue base. It was all material with no Arc helping out, so I couldn't get all my apps straight, but this one gets it done. Good Job on this one!
