Numix Gtk Theme Github For Mac

The Numix theme is available by installing shimmer-themes from the software center. It is installed by default in Xubuntu.

In 14.04, I was able to modify some aspects of the theme by directly editing files such as usr/share/themes/Numix/gtk-3.0/gtk.css or usr/share/themes/Numix/gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets.css. Even in 15.10, the solution as described in could be easily applied. But in 16.04, the same approach does not seem possible. I looked at the README.md file in the developer's page here:. A couple of quotes from there: If you want to hack on the theme, make sure you have the inotifywait command available, which is used for watching and automatically building the files.

And If you change any assets, you'll need to regenerate the gtk.gresource.xml and gtk.gresource files. You can use grrr to do it easily. So how can a normal, average user change any aspect of the Numix theme available for 16.04? Can someone familiar with gtk3 themes that use scss rather than only plain css please explain the procedure? You probably know this, but from looking at the numix github site they use SASS and not SCSS (although SASS and SCSS use the same compiler). These are CSS preprocessors, so you write the code in SASS then run the compiler to produce CSS that can be used directly. The inotify command is likely used as a watcher to trigger compilation.

You don't need to bother with all of this if you are just doing a few changes. Its only really worth the hassle if you desperately want SASS capabilities and expect to maintain your work long term – May 8 '16 at 1:39. One thing I would definitely try is to ask the numix developers and the other developers who are watching the numix github repository. To ask you can simply go to the github repo you linked to. Create a github account if you dont have one. Then open a new issue explaining what the problem you are experiencing is.

One suggestion I would make it to make it about something specific because the answer will probably be complicated and boring! The other askubuntu question you linked to is pretty specific e.g.

'how can I change the numix highlighting colour?' – May 10 '16 at 3:39.

After a bit of reading on the subject and then re-reading the readme.md at the I realised they actually do explain how to manually install and make changes to their theme. The thing is that the instructions assume alot of prerequisite knowledge - basically that you are a C developer who knows CSS. I'm assuming you know that source code for languages like C get compiled into binary executables and/or library files, and that SASS/SCSS is a pre-compiler (a kind of 'higher' language) that gets compiled to CSS which is source code that is interpreted - and not compiled to a binary form. From what I can tell the overview is like this: +-+ +-+ +-+ you need to CSS files Numix theme SASS 'compile' ordinary text (code) i.e. Files in files SASS to CSS /usr/share/themes/Numix Daily/gtk-3.0 +- +-+ So the Numix theme and I guess many/all GTK-3.0 themes comprise of binary resources and CSS code which is parsed by the function call gtkcssproviderloadfromfile which seems to be a new addition to GTK-3.0. The numix project suggests you only need to recompile the gtk-gresource if you change any assets.

So I wouldn't bother with that - unless you really need to. If you really need here is an Useful resources. this is responsible for parsing the CSS - it seems to really be the foundation for making GTK applications able to read CSS. Particularly how GTK will read CSS code for a theme on startup: An application can cause GTK+ to parse a specific CSS style sheet by calling gtkcssproviderloadfromfile and adding the provider with gtkstylecontextaddprovider or gtkstylecontextaddproviderforscreen. In addition, certain files will be read when GTK+ is initialized.

First, the file $XDGCONFIGHOME/gtk-3.0/gtk.css is loaded if it exists. Then, GTK+ tries to load $HOME/.themes/theme-name/gtk-3.0/gtk.css, falling back to datadir/share/themes/theme-name/gtk-3.0/gtk.css, where theme-name is the name of the current theme (see the 'gtk-theme-name' setting) and datadir is the prefix configured when GTK+ was compiled, unless overridden by the GTKDATAPREFIX environment variable.

Arch Linux is the desire of heart for anyone looking towards extensive customization. I’ve seen customization which, well, could have been a new distro in themselves.
