10 Hi,

I found three bugs in the theme:

A black bar appears on top when Firefox is maximized without the title bar option!
https://i.postimg.cc/V62qDC6y/exemplo-3.png

The identification message is not the same between cinnamon theme and GTK theme. In the Mint-Y theme the messages are the same, keeping the theme uniform!
https://i.postimg.cc/wMJhPjy1/exemplo-2.png

The spacing of the icons in the Nemo menus are different from the original Mint-Y theme!

9 Great effort to make an Adwaita-looking theme which is also skeuomorphic!
The only things that would make it better for me are: bigger window buttons (I love huge buttons there) and a way to achieve better contrast between windows (at least between active and backdrop windows). Because this theme is very dark, that is something difficult to achieve without using something such as selected background color for active window border, for example...

The thing is that I want good support for many DEs and some of them like xfce and cinnamon look better with smaller titlebars and window buttons. Therefor I need to make them look similar

It looks better with that background to me, but you can modify the scss _colors.scss file and customize your own theme if you want

Thanks for the feedback. Anyway, the icon theme I use is flat-remix, which does have a script to create custom folders, but it already provides all the variants.
Also if you like the theme don't forget to rate it, it helps a lot ;)

It looks like for the power manager there's a gtk-icon-transform with scale(0.7). Absolutely no idea why but removing it results in fixing it, so you should probably do that.

Hi! sorry, I for got to respond :(
So that scale is to fix the size of some icons, for example for Kali Linux with Xfce that scale makes all the icon equal. Not sure if I'll remove it because in most cases it looks better with it, but I'll do more tests ;)

very nice looking theme! good gtk-4 support too. however (note my version is couple commits old, might be fixed now) minor quirk: in gtk 4 apps, apps use the icons from the icon theme in the headerbar, instead of the min/max/close from Skeuos. still an awesome theme. changing the background would be an awesome thing, indeed. I would love to have a gruvbox variant but it wouldn't fit with the colorscheme

It is better but the dark is still too dark. If you don't have time to do a lighter dark. Can you make a white glow around the border of the window in focus? When there are several overlapping dark windows, even with the close buttons in color, it is hard to figure out the various windows. When there is only one or two windows on the desktop, this theme does indeed looks nice.

Great theme. There's something weird going on with the firefox buttons though. The distance between the outmost (close) buttons and the other two (maximize, minimize) seems off: https://i.imgur.com/z0MEpW0.png My buttons are on the left side, but this doesn't seem to make problems with other GTK apps like nautilus or evince. from my settings.ini: gtk-theme-name=Skeuos-Grey-Dark gtk-icon-theme-name=WhiteSur-dark gtk-font-name=Roboto 12 gtk-cursor-theme-name=macOSBigSurcursor gtk-cursor-theme-size=0 gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH gtk-toolbar-icon-size=GTK_ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR gtk-button-images=1 gtk-menu-images=1 gtk-decoration-layout=close,maximize,minimize:menu Hope that helps.

Finally an up-to-date skeuomorphic theme :) If it would use regular icons everywhere it would be perfect! But this is easily fixed by adding "* { -gtk-icon-style: regular; }" to the gtk.css files.

[20201104, Skeuos-Blue-Light variant] Looks great. I'm normally not super fond of themes that change appearance between focussed and unfocussed windows, but I really get what you're trying to do with flat vs. intuitively usable (skeumophic, non-flat, whatever) and I like it so far. Could you show gtk3-widget-factory in the screenshots, please? Idea, take it as you wish: I feel that the area contrast isn't quite "there" yet between buttons and backgrounds, between header/titlebars and content, and especially between listbox contents and headers. Perhaps the general lightness could be made less glaringly white (75-85%), and the overall darkness of the dark theme be made correspondingly less pitch black (15-25%)? I feel that this could be a way to improve area contrast a bit, and it doesn't have to come at the expense of text contrast. Use case: laptop, light theme user for font legibility, daytime + nighttime use, and "glare shock" avoidance when switching between a styled dark window and unavoidably non-styled things like web pages that tend to be black text on white. In dim conditions, I dial the backlight down. A light variant that isn't too glaring seems to really help me a lot there!
