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:
Murrine GTK2 engine

- 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:

@import url("nautilus36.css");

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

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

I've taken the liberty of creating 2 Personas/Themes for Firefox and LibreOffice to use the same background in the toolbar of those applications.

This has been my favorite one recently -- although I don't like the non-matching toolbar bgcolor of my favorite text editor medit (probably because it's a GTK2 app?).
And my favorite icon theme for it:

Tienes el tema mejor votado en gtk3 jaja felicidades

PD: Es un favor que te pedire, si es posible que cuando le hagas cambios al archivo de descarga, cambies la version tambien xD, en AUR de arch linux hay un paquete con tus temas y al solo cambiar el archivo de descarga sin cambiar la versión no podemos actualizar los temas, porque el que mantiene el paquete no se da cuenta del cambio y el tiene que cambiar el paquete sino no podemos actualizar

Saludos y gracias

Hi,

Is it possible to disable the texture in titlebar and toolbars? I like your theme flat and simple! :) I looked is the CSS but i have not found how. It makes a strange effect with Firefox (and some others apps) menu bar and tab bar.

Thanks!

It's a bit strange, the textures are only in gtk3 apps and firefox is a gtk2 app.

Anyway, it's a bit experimental and between today and tomorrow I will add a download without textures.

The texture is not applied to Firefox. Menu/Tab bar is plain and the title bar are textured. Maybe it's just me but i think the effect is a little bit weird. Glad to see that you will release a non-textured version.

Thanks for your work!

Thanks for updating the best theme to 3.8. It works flawlessly on Arch gnome 3.8.

Jozmak have you chosen to let the file manager handle the desktop?
I'm using arch too but I have the problem described above with that option on (of course there isn't any problem if I switch off that option but I wanted to have icons on my desktop)

That option is turned off.

Could you please tell me which .css should I modify in order to stablish some kind of light background color to the 'active' tab on nautilus once you have two or more? When you're scrolling a lot of files it can kind of throw you off: http://i.imgur.com/y5z8FEq.png

Right now I'm using an older version of your theme that has the tab colors set this way: http://i.imgur.com/ektYx7T.png the only issue with this is that it has the color inverted for the active and inactive tabs (the dark one is the active while you would intuitively expect the lighter to be the one being highlighted).

Edit /gtk-3.0/gnome-mdi.css, about line 856

find this:

NemoWindow .notebook tab:active,
NautilusWindow .notebook tab:active {
background-image: -gtk-gradient (linear,
left top, left bottom,
from (shade(@theme_base_color, 0.90)),
color-stop (0.15, shade(@theme_base_color, 1.00)),
to (shade(@theme_base_color, 1.00)));
.............
.............

}

There you can change the color of active tab
good luck :)

I got home and could finally tweak this thanks!! I just inverted the tab and tab:active definitions for the old version of your theme that I keep!!! (the one that still keeps a background for active tab tab). Thanks again!!!

Hi!
There's actually a problem with gnome 3.8. I'm using Mediterranean Light theme and the gnome tweak setting "have file manager handle the desktop" set to on is causing a gnome not to draw correctly the background, in fact the background becomes totally white.
I've found that the problem also affects the stadarda Ubuntu Ambiance theme and has already been pointed out here

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1159430

at post #19

"* {
/* inherit the color from parent by default */
color: inherit;
background-color: @bg_color; // <-- this line
}"

I've tried to comment out the line "background-color: @bg_color;" and it worked except for the theme to be messed up.

Can you please fix it?
I'd like to say that after years of wandering from theme to theme I've finally found the one that fits perfectly my tastes, keep up the good works you've done so far, thanks again!

Yes, I know the problem (when you select the option 'let the file manager handle the desktop'), so I say partial support gnome-3.8

Anyway I'm working to resolve it as soon as possible, I also want to work with gnome 3.8 :)

Hi,
I found this patch: http://pastebin.com/DGPfs3UE to work better.

Report

Sorry, but that does not work. I tried it a while and causes many black backgrounds in some widgets.

It is an unnatural solution, widgets must have a background color (including transparent), and it is logical that nautilus desktop mode allows to put a transparent background color as it was so far and do not understand why now does not.

said this, I have the hope that gnome people end up giving a solution (or an alternative) to this problem

Se que he molestado mucho con esto, pero las barras de herramientas del tema LightDarkest, en gtk2 sigue gris y en gtk3 sigue gris oscuro, recuerdo me dijiste que si colocabas la barra oscura en gtk2 provocaba problemas, no seria buena idea colocar las del tema gtk3 gris claro tambien ? para que queden igual ?

Saludos y muchas gracias por los temas

Jeje pues sí, seguimos con el tema de la barra de herramientas. La verdad es que no lo tengo del todo claro y además no eres el único en esa lucha. Poner las toolbars de GTK3 claras significa que no he podido resolver el asunto y es algo que me molesta, soy muy cabezota.

Además, estoy seguro de que si las pongo claras, se me va a quejar mucha gente, así que estoy en una encrucijada que tengo que ver como resuelvo. Puede que en el proximo update ponga la opción de elegir uno u otro estilo y asi dejar zanjado el asunto.

Saludos :)

Can you add a shell theme for the classic mode of gnome 3.8? Atm the toolbars are light grey, which doesn't fit the Dark theme.

I'm on it, when I get a stable system with gnome-3.8 try to do.
In any case, sooner or later will be done.

By the way, with which distro you're using gnome 3.8? is for testing me too :)

I'm running Arch, Gnome 3.8 is still in the [testing] repo, but I hope it will be moved to [extra] soon.
