Description:

Desert

Made by Paulxfce

This is the first theme in which I tried not to use white and grey, but a muted yellowish-dark-brown color palet. Designed to be light, crisp, and simple, this theme is thoroughly built and tested to provide a nice desktop environment.

The theme only provides a GTK3-theme, with dark-support, and a matching gnome-shell. It is built for the Gnome-DE.

NEW:
1.2 update to correct padding in nautilus pathbar
1.1 update gives two new accent-colors (orange and purple), matching gnome-shells and a solid (non-transparent) version of each variant. So now there are 12 themes to choose from.

IMPORTANT:

This theme is developed for the gnome DE. It works on GTK3.22 to GTK3.29, and GTK3.32/34/36/38, NOT GTK 3.30.

How to install:

Download the theme,

>Desert
>Desert-solid
>Desert-Dark
>Desert-Dark-Solid

>Desert-Orange
>Desert-Orange-Solid
>Desert-Orange-Dark
>Desert-Orange-Dark-Solid

>Desert-Purple
>Desert-Purple-Solid
>Desert-Purple-Dark
>Desert-Purple-Dark-Solid

Just copy the extracted file to a '.themes'-folder you make in your home directory.
Then use the Tweak Tool and select the theme.
LOG OUT AND BACK IN for changes to take full effect!

9 Fantastic theme. Please add xfce and gtk2 support in order to make it compatible with applications used every day. Or point me to a theme of yours to tinker and maybe i can add support for xfce and gtk myself. Well done!

Sorry for the off-the-wall question, but could you also include Unity in one of your next versions?

10 10 the best. Congratulations and thank you for this new version !
I've been waiting for an amber or champagne version for a long time.
A suggetion concerning the dark version, I find that the lettering is too bright, "too white".
I would have seen something similar to your "Alu-Night-straight" or "Cameo-ALU-Night" version, ie softer, less white, less contrasting lettering.

10 Your best for me so far. Your other themes were too grey for me and looked too much like Mac. The smooth colours are just right,

I'm curious what errors? cause I didn't find any with nautilus ;)

When scaling or changing font, the padding of the path bar is out of place.

Hey, I got your email alert and tested the desert and desert dark, for me the desert dark is WOW it and the gnome shell to match perfect I test some apps like Inkscape, Thunderbird, Brave browser, gedit etc...it looks awesome, the only one that didn't changed was gimp it still creamish colour. the desert and desert solid gnome shell are the same as the desert dark I'm not sure if this is part of your plans? so far a run desert and open all my apps and it's perfect! Great work I'm in WOW still ah aha...Thank you very much for your hard work PAULXFCE
