Nextwaita
A theme developed by PaulXFCE

NEW: FULLY SCALABLE THEME !
Read more (further down)...


Nextwaita is based on a snapshot of the newly developed New Adwaita (coming out with Gnome 3.32) (GGPL v2)

While I appreciate the effort of the Gnome-team into developing a new default theme, there are a number of issues. One of the longstanding issue is the size of the buttons and the header-bars. Adwaita is multipurpose: it needs to be big enough for touch-enabled screens, and at the same time usable enough to be used in a desktop environment.

Nextwaita is desktop-orientated. For that reason the header-bar is reduced, the buttons overall have less padding, the tabs have smaller footprint.

Nextwaita uses a gray-scaled color-pallet, instead of the brownish colors used throughout the new adwaita theme.

The switch-buttons that the present snapshot of new Adwaita provide, are not yet developed bug-free. So I provided a slightly different version, that addresses these issues.

Nextwaita uses different radio- and check-buttons, provides different sliders; and all this without the need for external graphics.

For the moment the Gnome-Development-team has not provided a GTK2-component for their team.

Nextwaita supports GTK2, that works seems-less with GTK3.


New:[ FULLY SCALABLE!

A major (personal) achievement is the creation of a gradually scalable version of Nextwaita.

By using 'Gnome-Tweaks/Fonts/Scalable factor' you can change the scale of the interface:

Setting this scale to 0.92 (for example) will scale the theme down to a level suitable for low resolution screens.
Setting the scale to 1.35 (for example) will scale the theme up to a level suitable for high resolution-screens.

This theme will change its buttons, radio-and checkbuttons, sliders, switches, and general padding accordingly.
While gnome already tries to scale, this theme does it better. This is done by using (relative) REM in some places instead of (fixed) pixels.

Carefull: Be carefull in setting the scalable factor, as it can get you into serious trouble.

This theme works best within these parameters:

0.92 - 1.35

It is not good at scale 2.00 (because the button-icons do not scale)

New:

Version 3.0: Gnome 3.38 compatible, changes in nautilus header bar, support for new 'unified headerbar'-widget and gnome-shell adaptations
Version 2.2: gnome3.36 compatible and added shell themes
Version 2.1: fix for Gnome tweaks, Settings-app.
Version 2.0 has improved check- and radiobuttons, switches and contain numerous bugfixes. Support for 3.34.


Please try before commenting.

This theme is meant to be simple, cool, easy to the eyes, and above all consequent in its design. Meant for day-to-day use.

So, desktop-users, this is for you !

How to install:

just untar the downloaded file and drop it in the '.themes'-folder (You may have to create it first). Use gnome-tweaks and choose the theme;

The shell is basically the standard shell that comes with Ubuntu 18.10. as of March, I believe, Gnome will come with a new version of shell. So I'm hesitant to commend you anything at this point.

".. consequent as possible" I'm voting your theme up for that particular reason. Your themes seems to be among the most well thought and crafted.

Now comes the bummer. I have a a screen laptop of 1280x1040. How do i decrease the header bars to smaller, less gap to the buttons?

I'd really like to use it with a smaller more compact theme.
Thank you for a solid theme.

The present version of new adwaita has no code for other desktops beside gnome. So I would have to make it myself. This requires some effort. I see what I can do.

I suppose the window decorations are already included in the GTK3 code?
If so, one can use metacity instead of xfwm4 as the window manager. (metacity --replace)
I'll try it tonight and report back.

No, really, it is better that I make a xfwm-theme. It is not that difficult. The issue is that XFCE needs allot more attention than merely the XFWM-window-theme. It also requires code for the bottom-panel, whisker-menu, notify, thunar... Both GTK2 and GTK3 needs to be changed because -you know- not everyone uses the latest XFCE...
If you know my other XFCE-versions, you would understand that I"m not satisfied with just the XFWM4-theme, it takes allot more effort to make it beautiful.
XFCE's overall padding is so bad and clunky.

I understand, no problem! :)
But it works to some extent with metacity.
The titlebar is a bit large, as one might expect from Adwaita.

New dark theme 1 year ago

The Dark-theme has had a complete make-over.
The original New Adwaita -dark-theme is - in my opinion - a bit to dark, and the font-color to light.
So it is a strain to your eyes, if you use it for a long period of time.
So I made the theme less dark and the font darker. I Changed the radio- and checkbuttons, slider and markers also.

The new dark theme is now set as standard for the 1.3 release.
And it also available as a separate download (Nextwaita-Dark), both in the normal, as the 3.30 version.

Uploaded new themes (LowRes) 1 year ago

Added two files for the Nextwaita: Low-Res. A trimmed version for those with low-resolution-screens

+I like the color tweaks you made to the dark variant. I agree, much nicer. One issue I'm having is on Arch w/XFCE. If you have app launchers in the panel, the icons drop to a very small size in the panel when this them is applied.
