Description:

Ubuntu ppa availiable!

Simple and clean theme, based on original Adwaita.
Supported desktop environments: gnome 3.28+, xfce 4.12+.
Also provides Lounge-aux icon theme - auxiliary set of symbolic icons for better user experience (see second picture).

Fedora users can install theme via copr repository:


sudo dnf copr enable monday15/lounge


sudo dnf install lounge-gtk-theme

for xfce/sway users:


sudo dnf install lounge-gtk-theme-xfce-sway

Ubuntu users can install theme via ppa:


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:monday15/lounge


sudo apt install lounge-gtk-theme

for xfce/sway users:


sudo apt install lounge-gtk-theme-xfce-sway

Installation:
1. Download and extract theme archieve for your gnome version. If you're using xfce - download xfce-sway build.
2. Replace word Adwaita in line 4 of Lounge-aux/index.theme file with name of icon theme you're using.
You can do it by running this command from extracted folder, just replace Suru with your icon theme name:


sed -i s/Adwaita/Suru/ Lounge-aux/index.theme

3. Move Lounge and Lounge-night folders to /usr/share/themes (or ~/.themes).
4. Move Lounge-aux folder to /usr/share/icons (or ~/.icons).
5. Set Lounge (or Lounge-night) as your gtk and gnome-shell theme.
6. Set Lounge-aux as your icon theme.

Note: For Lounge-night gtk2 theme you also need to install gtk-murrine-engine (gtk2-engines-murrine for debian/ubuntu) from your distro repos.

Updating from version ≤ 1.16 to version ≥ 1.17 requires comlete removal of theme files before installation (folders /usr/share/themes/Lounge and /usr/share/themes/Lounge-night, icons folder doesn't require removal).

Flatpak apps support available via Flathub:


flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Can you clue me in on how to change the button shade color in header bars. I have changed the colors of the theme to match my kde theme and all is well besides the color that the buttons change to when you hover over the top of them. A little help would be greatly appreciated.

General button colors/styles located here:

https://github.com/monday15/lounge-gtk-theme/blob/1.18/src/gtk3/gtk3-drawing.scss#L107-L394

You’re looking for this part:

https://github.com/monday15/lounge-gtk-theme/blob/1.18/src/gtk3/gtk3-drawing.scss#L199-L216

Just keep in mind, that you dont want to change $c variable to hardcoded value here - sometimes button can have different colors (suggestive, destructive, infobars etc), so you need to set color relative to $c.

My personal opinion is the this WM theme would look better on top of new adwaita theme as long as it matched the new adwaita theme at the top and wasn't black. The newer Adwaita theme is pretty darn nice but of course xfce users do not get a default WM theme as always.

I like it a lot for xfce but instead of black for WM theme would it not look better to be the same color as the top of Adwaita theme.

I dont have proper xfce support yet. I have plans to add it, but support will be basic and simple, no additional options.

I develop my own qt application Qt 5.6
And it uses gtk2
In the light theme it's great
But in the dark theme it looks like this

I guess you talking about active tab background - it looks like it interferes with window content. Actually, it’s not, and both active tabs looks the same way, you can see it on this screenshot with zoomed widgets https://ibb.co/mhYsP2H Second screenshot shows how those widgets looks like in native gtk2 application - window content below tab has border https://ibb.co/qBHrD0r So, the problem here is not with the theme, but with qt5gtk2 engine, probably, it uses widgets wrong way (and this tab bar is a bit hacky, but all the related code was forked from Adwaita gtk2 theme - default one - and I prefer keep changes to minimum). I cant help you here. You can try to add border for window content that is below the tab bar (not sure if it is possible). Also, afaik, qt5gtk2 engine is unsupported and was dropped from qt5. I use qt5 applications with Fusion theme (with some color adjustments) - it looks different, but works without issues.

Actually, I think found a way to fix this and pushed a commit. Check it out, tabs should work fine now. Happy New Year!

Would it be difficult to customize my Lounge setup with a different accent color, please?
I'd like to try a darker blue. (the Gilouche blue, #639ACE)
Thanks!

Report

You can open src/gtk3/_colors.scss and edit accent color variables. First pair is $selected_bl_color and $selected_fl_color - colors used for (not-only) text selection (light background/dark foreground), the second pair is $selected_bg_color and $selected_fg_color - darker accent color with light (matching) foreground color. Then, you should change accent color (selected_bg_color) for gtk2 theme in src/gtk2/gtkrc (and, probably, matching selected_fg_color too). For best experience, you should also modify colors on gtk2 assets (like progressbar, selected entry border, etc) - edit src/gtk2/assets.svg - replace colored elements with color you want in inkscape and re-render assets with render-assets.sh script in the same directory (by default it will override existing assets files).
When you made changes, continue with regular installation procedure.

Liked the older versions progressbars and handles much more. Also the square switches.
The new one looks nice, but not that outstanding.
You should have made two different themes, like lounge classic and lounge modern.
