Oxygen Gtk

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

Description:

Oxygen-Gtk is a port of the default KDE widget theme (Oxygen), to gtk.

Its primary goal is to ensure visual consistency between gtk and qt-based applications running under kde. A secondary objective is to also have a stand-alone nice looking gtk theme that would behave well on other Desktop Environments.

Unlike other attempts made to port the kde oxygen theme to gtk, this attempt does not depend on Qt (via some Qt to Gtk conversion engine), nor does render the widget appearance via hard coded pixmaps, which otherwise breaks everytime some setting is changed in kde.

Hosting:
- tarballs are hosted on kde ftp servers
- git repository is hosted at https://projects.kde.org

Download
- First link point to a tarball of the official 1.0 release
- Second link point to a tarball of the official 1.1 release
- Third link point to the git repository. For the GTK 2.x version, one can get the latest sources from master branch using
[quote]git clone git://anongit.kde.org/oxygen-gtk[/quote]
and from the GTK 3.x version, using
[quote]git clone -b gtk3 git://anongit.kde.org/oxygen-gtk[/quote]

Installation:
- See the INSTALL file in the top-level directory.
- You will likely need gtk+2.0 dev packages, as well as Cairo

Authors:
- Ruslan Kabatsayev
- Cédric Bellegarde
- me

Release:
We plan to follow the same release schedule as KDE:
- one minor bug-fixing release every month;
- one major feature release every six month.

Bugs:

See the README file in the top-level directory, for a list of possible issues with the style.

Bugs and feature requests can be sent to KDE bug tracking system (https://bugs.kde.org/). You would need to select Product=Oxygen, and Component=gtk-engine

When Chrome is running under KDE4 using oxygen-gtk as the gtk style, Chrome's popup menu can leave shadows and borders permanently. This happens when you run Chrome for a while (i.e. not initially).

I suggest that oxygen-gtk provide a "disable menu shadow" option for now.

This would be either a problem with chrome, or with kwin. Not oxygen-gtk. Thus wont add the option (that would just hide the bug). Feel free to post a bug report at https://bugs.kde.org

With ythickness = 3, menubaritem has exactly the same height as kde apps.

style "oxygen-menubaritem" = "oxygen-default"
{
xthickness = 3
ythickness = 3
}

And with ythickness = 3 we get menuitem text perfectly in center. So it's a must ;)
style "oxygen-menuitem" = "oxygen-default"
{
xthickness = 1
ythickness = 3
}

Any chances to get those fixes included in official release?

you need to file proper bug reports (bugs.kde.org) with more details to get any help on this. Notably, what you mean by "support" ?

ok, i fix this problem by using the 13.10 glib version, 2.38.

Report

Hi,
indeed this is an issue with glib (that affects many other applications) and not with oxygen-gtk.
So not much we can do on our side.
Please report the issue to them in case it re-occur with more recent versions of glib ...

Just to make sure: When using a color schema different to oxygen this doesn't help me, does it?

Report

HugoPereira
7 years ago

Not sure I understand the question.
Oxygen-gtk is primarily written for matching gtk and Qt applications in KDE. So, if you use a different colorscheme, in kde, it should be caught automatically by oxygen-gtk and they would still match the Qt/KDE applications.

Now, for other desktop environments (gnome, fwm, etc.), oxygen-gtk will not pick the colorscheme changes, and thus you'd have to do the job manually. Easiest is to make a copy of

/usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/kdeglobals

to $HOME/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals

and modify the colors (manually) in there.

to know that it's been worked on.
Thanks a lot for the work in debugging and fixing this...

Still this gave me a scare, basic functionality
becoming unavailable.

Not going to upgrade next time before the magical .3 release!

Are you aware that this theme (the default in kde) is not usable in Kubuntu 13.04?
Thunderbird and firefox experience random hangs, which are solved by not using oxygen-gtk2.

... as for the freeze reported at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs23/+bug/1142213 its actually a glib issue and has been fixed (worked around) in latest oxygen-gtk.

Also, last comment of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/963736 says that issue also happens with other themes. So not sure it is actually related to oxygen-gtk at all (but unclear what theme has actually been changed)

Report

Nope, was not aware.
Also, best way to submit bugs for oxygen-gtk is https://bugs.kde.org
would help us get more info and interaction with users, (notably the oxygen-gtk version that is shiped with the distro).

(note: here with mageai3 there is no issue with firefix, thunderbird nor anything).

When viewing videos in gnome-mplayer, background is showed as a gray-black gradient rather than all black. What edits are needed to make the gradient go away? I use this theme in KDE 4.9 from ubuntu 12.10 for gtk apps.

Not easy: there is no configuration for this.
What you describe is actually a bug and should be reported as such (see instructions above).

Nice solution!)
How can I change backgroud color of buttons? Now they are having gray backgroud. And I want set white background. I undestand css a little bit. So I can change some options in theme's sources, if necessary.

Report

it depends on your installation.
if you are using kde, just change the color settings.
if you are not, locate the file name kdeglobals installed with oxygen-gtk (usually: /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/kdeglobals), make a copy to .config/oxygen-gtk/kdeglobals and modify the colors there.

The colors you need to modify are under the section [Colors:Button]

Note that you can also modify the above file directly provided you have root access.

Hi,

This is a great great port ! I use XFCE and the theme works well with an exception, I lose almost every icons...

Is there a way to keep my Faenza icon theme and just applying the theme?

Thnaks in advance !

Report

Since you are not using kde I guess you can't change it via some kde configuration tool, I guess.

You need to locate the file name kdeglobals installed with oxygen-gtk (usually: /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/kdeglobals), make a copy to $HOME/.config/oxygen-gtk/kdeglobals and modify the icon theme from there.

Basically you'd need to add:

[Icons]
Theme=Fanzea

Note that you can also modify the above file directly provided you have root access.
