Description:

MediterraneanNight Series 2.03

12 Themes for Gnome 3.6.x and 3.8.x

* IMPORTANT *
- GTK2 theme uses gtk2-engines-murrine and gtk2-engines-pixbuf
- Inside the theme folder (MediterraneanNight) there is a readme.txt file with some really simple instructions to customize the theme (styles for nautilus, 4 tab styles, metacity buttons)
- Ubuntu 12.10 comes by default with gnome 3.6 and nautilus-3.4 (though you can upgrade to nautilus-3.6), but if you have nautilus-3.4, you must set the theme for nautilus-3.4, as explained in the readme.txt

- Almost all the themes are the same, varying between each of them only the color scheme and some bitmaps, which provides an opportunity for the more restless to create your own theme with few changes.

Take for example the series MediterraneanTribute

Known issues:
- qBitTorrent with MediterraneanGrayDark.

The default installation of the package gtk2-engines, not install you really need, which is this:

- MediterraneanNight also support nautilus-3.4. (see readme.txt)
---------------------------------
* Select style for nautilus *
---------------------------------
Edit the file ../MediterraneanNight/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

go to the last line of the file, there are seven options for nautilus:
Nautilus 3.6.x for gnome-shell 3.6.x and/or unity (by default)
@import url("nautilus36.css");

3 options for nautilus 3.4.x (gnome-shell)

2.- "gnome-nautilus34-light.css" (nautilus sidebar and toolbar light)

Actually, found a fix!

In gtk-widgets.css, find "* {", replace "background-color: @…;" value with "background-color: none;". In ".window-frame {" add "background-color: @theme_bg_color;" and all seems to be good!

Now to see if I can get dark buttons in the header/title bar/whatever-they-call-it…

I've moved to Gnome 3.12 now and various other bits have changed that make even the fixed version look ugly again.

*sigh*

Why do so few people make nice "dark but not too dark" themes? I don't want "so dark I have to squint" and I don't want "so bright that my eyes burn". I just want "mid-tones with dark menu bars".

Estimado, antes que nada, felicitaciones por el excelente tema!!! Ahora unos problemas encontrados en Ubuntu 13.10

Menubar: En mi PC se ve distorsionado por una linea horizontal que la recorre totalmente.

Ubuntu One client (creo que es QT): En los diálogos no se visualiza el texto.
http://storage5.static.itmages.com/i/13/1026/h_1382741824_4245033_5ea97c5ab7.png

Los menues pop-up tienen el mismo problema con el texto.

Gracias!

Hi;

I am currently running Debian wheezy stable with xfce 4.8 desktop. When I try Mediterranean white/night, I am having the problem that the synaptic package manager's Authentication dialog box becomes white text on white background. Is there any workaround for this? Debian is currently using gtk-3.4. Would the problem be related to it? If so, is there a version of your theme that I can use for the gtk-3.4 version?

I have another problem that the weather applet of xfce 4.8 does not obey the dark panel versions of Mediterranean theme. I am ending with black panel with black text for the weather applet. Any suggestions?

Best Regards

Wow. Turns out the above css fixes a different bug with GTK 3 apps that also makes text have a white on grey background, but the main one with the auth dialog was still there.

You're not going to believe this, but the theme code has nothing to do with it, the name of the theme's folder in ~/.themes does. I fixed it on my end by renaming the theme's folder to all lowercase (or uppercase), "mediterranean-light" or whatever you want, reenabled it, and the text in the auth dialog turned black.

This bug didn't happen for me when I tried Debian Testing a while ago, so I guess this will be fixed for Jessie.

Experimenting more, it seems just renaming the folder anything that doesn't contain the default name of the theme will fix it.

I fixed it by adding this in the theme's folder, in the file gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets.css just below the "Base States" comment:

GtkWindow {
color: @theme_fg_color;
}

Is there anything special I have to do to get Chrome to use the theme's scrollbar?

I have a feeling that MediterraneanTributeBlue theme might also look better with white text in unity panel, titlebar, menubar and toolbar ;-)
Could you perhaps offer a quick way of doing this?

Hola a todos,
por más que modifico el gtk.css no doy con la tecla.

Estoy usando MediterraneanDarkest en Ubuntu 12.04.03 LTS. Si no me equivoco Ubuntu viene con Unity con GTK3 y no me deja de salir por consola cosas como:

(gedit:3716): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: nautilus36.css:71:18: Horizontal and vertical offsets are required

Alguien me puede ayudar?

Muchas gracias. Un saludo

How soon can this be updated for 3.10? Most of it works, but the new header bars are conspicuously absent.

Try this, it takes colours from your wallpaper or you can customize it yourself.

Are there any plans for a GNOME 3.10 update in the near future?

Hi.

Thanks a lot for your mediterranean themes. I would like to package them and, perhaps, even upload them to Debian (and, as a side-effect, it would be picked up by Ubuntu, Linux Mint etc).

Do you happen to have any git repository (or any other repository) where you develop the theme? I would like to submit some small changes for better maintaintenance and I would love to avoid duplicate work.

Thanks a lot,

Rogério Brito.

Hi all,
I ported the xfwm4 themes for those not included in the official package.
(MediterraneanGrayDark, MediterraneanTributeDark, MediterraneanWhite, and MediterraneanWhiteNight)

If you are looking for them, maybe you could give them a try. :)

You might have to move/copy the metacity theme to ~/.local/share/themes/ or install the theme system-wide in /usr/share/themes/

After switching to this theme, my gnome titlebar just does't change. Did I missed anything? I am a green hand here. Please help!

Hello!

I really love your theme, however, I would like to modify it a bit to better suit my needs. I'd like it to be a little more consistent to the GTK2 variant.

A little thing that bothers me and I wasnt able to fix yet is the padding of the first and the last element in menus. (--> screenshot: http://s13.postimg.org/pt8gi5g9j/2013_07_26_140132_3360x1050_scrot.png)

I would like to remove the padding I marked red.

Somehow I can't find the selectors in the menu.css. Can you point me on something?

I already tried several .menuitem:last-child/first-child-selections, but I only managed to either remove padding from all menuitems (not what I want).

Your help would really be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

hi, this is the best suit of themes that you could use for a long time that I've seen...

Maybe you ans this before, but, to close the theme, what gnome-shell theme you recommend to use with the dark themes... I'm using gnome-shell 3.6.

thanks...
PS: today you've won a new fan :)
