Hej, thanks for your nice work on this theme, i like it very much. But, . . . one think is annoying me. The window titlebar/-s are so fat, can you tell me where i can edit and change it to smaler dimensions?? (i use gnome 3.28)

I think there is a problem with the gtk2 version. I use sublime text (which must use gtk2) and if I start it up with the -w option (which waits for it to totally load before anything is displayed) it complains that it cannot find radio-unchecked-selected.png and radio-checked-selected.png in the assets sub-directory. If I create these 2 files then the problem goes away. These 2 files are referenced in gtkrc.

Great theme btw. I made a few mods to this theme for cinnamon version mint 18.3. I wanted a transparent panel so the blue desktop wallpaper I use continued with the blue theme. I edited the cinnamon.css file under header - #panel to achieve that using this: background-color: rgba (175.175.175.0.05) ; added to the end of that section inside the }. Next, I'm working on cinnamon menu to get the blue color to show up on mouse hover over buttons and menu items. Obsidian 2 is a very nice theme and I like to tweak it the best I can. Thx

What happened to blue theme? couple months ago it was here now it's archived and defaults to green when downloaded. Using mint 18.3 cinnamon. Obsidian 2 blue was the best imho now I can't get it anywhere. Any solutions? Thanks

''The download-links haven't been changed. They're pointing at the different color branches at Github. The blue theme is "master"

I love this theme but on your green theme in Ubuntu-Mate but one issue with the Chromium address bar: Dark text on a dark background. It's fine on your master blue theme.

Thank you very much for this beautiful theme! I just installed on Ubuntu 17.10 and it looks awesome :D
PS: Can it work with Kdenlive and VLC somehow?

Report

madmaxms

Yes it can. The frontends of Kdenlive and VLC are written in Qt. So if you go into your Qt-Configs you can change the appearence: Select "gtk" and all the Qt-written windows will be styled like the other windows written in gtk.

Thanks! It worked for VLC, but not for Kdenlive (only the menus are dark themed).

EDIT: Nevermind. I installed Breeze theme and then I could select that theme to make Kdenlive dark. Cheers!
