Description: ink is a brand new flat, dark-mode theme with transparent elements, and high contrast hues. This new theme accommodates GTK, xfwm4, openbox-3, GNOME-Shell, and Cinnamon desktop environments.
Three colors to choose: blue, indigo, and turquoise.
ink is grounded on the Arc theme, ranked as the most popular Linux desktop theme for the past several years, according to major sources: (Best 12 GNOME Themes of 2022) https://linuxhint.com/best-gnome-themes/; (Top 15 Gnome Themes) https://www.ubuntupit.com/top-15-best-gnome-shell-themes-gnome-desktop; (Best GNOME Themes For Your Ubuntu Desktop in 2022) https://www.debugpoint.com/gnome-themes-2022/. For this reason, the developers have taken mindful care to keep every element in line with what Arc fans would appreciate. The result, we believe, delivers maximum comfort and readability to users; while simultaneously looking robust and elegant.
Special thanks to horst3180 at: https://github.com/horst3180/Arc-theme, for initially advancing Arc, and for inspiration. Further thanks to NicoHood at: https://github.com/NicoHood/arc-theme, for keeping Arc alive and great, more currently.
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 GNOME Tweaks, Dconf Editor, or an equivalent 'Look & Feel'/configuration 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.
When installing the Geany text editor theme, put the unzipped file in your home directory at: ~/.config/geany/colorschemes (create the 'colorschemes' directory, to mimic previous directions, if it doesn't yet exist )
Logging out and then logging back in may be necessary on some operating systems to fully implement themes and icons.Last changelog:
23-19-11: Version 1.1.1
This update changes the color of the shell, overview page-indicators (dots controlling which page on the bottom of overview screen) for all three ink flavors. This enhancement switches the super-light gray hue: #c1c1c1 (almost white), that previously existed in all three variants, to the lighter of the two, regular accent colors for each individual theme-flavor.
