DeeplySkeuo

Fork of 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)
