Skewaita

small preview

This is my first serious attempt with a coherent theme for GTK2, GTK3 and GTK4. It is yet anohter 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 green, 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-Skewaita_original_light.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 only two color schemes: the original one and a dark one ("Soil", using the colors from this other theme of mine)

Now dark themes look great too!
