# shiki-colors-revival

|

This consists mostly of a script that modifies the original Zukitwo theme's
|
||||
files to fit to all of the colors in the GNOME Colors palette.

that's what I use. If you run into problems in another desktop environment,

I'll try to help the best I can though.

## Included

- GTK 2 and 3 themes
|

## Installing
|
||||
1. Open a terminal in this repo's directory.

Use `./make-colors-themes` if you want to know what else the installer can do.

|
||||
## How this works
|
||||
In order to minimize the amount of maintenance needed, we base these themes off
|
||||
of [zuki-themes] so that we benefit from [lassekongo83]'s work on Zukitwo.
|
||||
The themes are then generated by using regular expressions to replace certain
|
||||
variables in the CSS to change the colors to fit the [GNOME Colors palette]
|
||||
rather than using Zukitwo's default colors.
|
||||
|
||||
After replacing the colors, some patches are applied for some more complicated
|
||||
patches; at the moment, we use a patch to enable a dark menubar theme, and to
|
||||
add a panel background image.
|
||||
|
||||
As a result of doing it this method, we don't have to worry about updating the
|
||||
CSS every time GNOME's developers decide to break everything with a new minor
|
||||
version of GTK3, again. We can make upstream do all the work. :)
|
||||
|
||||
## Current problems
|
||||
- Due to the way Zukitwo does GTK3's switch elements, they do not properly fit
|
||||
the different color themes. Zukitwo uses images for the switches, rather than
|
||||
pure CSS. Pull requests to fix this are welcomed, though.
|
||||
- I'm still learning GTK, and GNOME developers, for some god-only-knows-why
|
||||
reason they decided to provide pretty awful documentation.
|
||||
- Eventually this will stop working since GNOME developers will probably think
|
||||
that GTK 3 on non-GNOME environments is deprecated or something, and not worth
|
||||
their support. It's probably better to use Qt in the future.
|
||||
- At the moment, the theme is (obviously) not a completely accurate recreation
|
||||
of Shiki-Colors-Murrine. As of writing, the menubar color doesn't blend with
|
||||
the titlebars yet, and the only things that match are the background colors
|
||||
and the selected background colors. However, if you don't care about the
|
||||
menubar color then you might feel this is good enough anyway.
|
||||
of Shiki-Colors-Murrine. It is not intended to really be a pixel-for-pixel
|
||||
remake of the theme; times have changed, and I like to think that so would
|
||||
the original theme if it were still being developed.
