DarkCold-evolved

This is a complete remake of the venerable DarkCold theme, based on my plateau-adaptive code base. I've done it because the original one seems to have frozen its development.

This is a skeuomorphic GTK3 theme that follows your KDE Plasma color scheme, the same way that Breeze GTK theme adapts to it. So if you want to change its colors, you only need to change KDE Plasma's color scheme, nothing else. It is an evolution of pho-earth-adaptive.

This DarkCold-evolved includes some predefined color schemes (that will work for GTK3 and 4, and are independent from Plasma themes). They're in the color_themes directory. By default, the "original" DarkCold theme is enabled. To enable another theme, go to the directory where the theme is installed (typically: ~/.themes or ~/.local/share/themes) and execute the script change_theme.sh. This script will tell you which themes are available and let you chose one. This means that you can change this theme's colors regardless of current Plasma scheme (if there is one).

By default, this theme will not try to follow current Plasma color scheme. I had to do this so I could make Plasma theme work both for GTK3 and GTK4. To force this theme to honor current Plasma color scheme, you have to execute the script toggle_plasma.sh, following previous instructions too. You can also create new themes, it's quite easy: just copy one theme's file to another name and edit it: you just need to know how to define colors in RGB hexadecimal values, but any online color picker will help you with that.

Sadly, GTK2 can't follow plasma KDE color scheme because the trick used by Plasma KDE for GTK3 is with the file ~/.config/colors.css, but this only affects GTK3 theme, not GTK2 or GTK4. Currently GTK2 uses DarkCold's GTK2 original theme.

There are matching xfwm4 and metacitry themes too, copied from the original one.

Enjoy!

(some keywords to help finding this theme: non-flat, 3D, 3-D, adaptive, adapts, multiple colors, multicolor, shadows, highlights)
