No prob. I probably would have thought the same thing. It's all good. - Sep 17 2020
Perhaps you aren't familiar with the guidelines. If a body of work has been changed 60%-70% , it may be marked as an "original". It's a monumental task changing out only one color then ensuring that you find every instance of that color change, and that it changes when cinnamon is used in Linux Mint or gnome shell in Ubuntu. Keep in mind, I've changed out the complete color pallets to the point that these themes are barely recognizable as "arc-dark". Other bits of code have been cleaned up as well. So, yes, things aren't always as they seem. - Sep 17 2020
These themes were based on my original XFCE Arc-Dark Theme Collection VOLUME I. Since these themes also work in XFCE environments and there was product overlap, that collection has been unpublished. - Sep 16 2020
Arc is a little bit confusing. These themes are based on the darkest of the three arc variations, arc-dark. Only the color pallet has been changed. They work on a large number of OS's. Download one and try it out. Hope this helps. What OS do you have? - Sep 14 2020

Thanks! Do you need an Arc-Dark or -Darker version? - Jul 25 2020
Redwood Theme

GTK3 Themes by solsticeman 2 comments

Apparently, the newer Suru Asprómauros Icons are not supported in Mint 18.1. They don't scale properly. Also, last month, I deleted over half of my themes, because most were over a year old and there was declining lack of user interest for older themes. Sorry, but it was getting too difficult to support multiple operating systems at multiple versions. Thanks for showing interest in this theme though, Magistryoda. - Jul 17 2020

No prob. I'm trying to install conky on AvionX, I haven't messed with it in years. - Jun 07 2020
Steel-Teal Theme

GTK3 Themes by solsticeman 6 comments

Yes. It's true. I plugged in a valid hex color and fixed it. Thx for bringing this to my attention. Sorry for the inconvenience. I should probably check my logs for q.a. purposes. - Jun 03 2020

Red-on-Black Theme

De nada amigo! - May 07 2020
Nice to see themes laced with creativity, beauty, experimentation, and boldness to be different...in contrast to the flat, effortless, cookie cutter, no-brainer, no-talent, cartoon-like, simplistic garbage that prevails! - Apr 14 2020

Yep, it's missing the cinnamon folder/files needed for Mint Cinnamon and only works in XFCE. It's also missing the gnome shell files if you wanted to use in Ubuntu. I do happen to have those files since I use and create most themes in Mint Cinnamon. If you still want to use the theme. Just let me know, I can send them to you or upload to google drive. Glad that you liked that theme! Sorry for the late reply. - Sep 04 2019
Red-on-Black Theme

Belated thanks, sdmf! - Mar 29 2019
Which do you prefer? Zorin or Mint XFCE? I'm testing MX Linux (XFCE) this week, but still prefer Mint XFCE. These themes were all tested using Mint. Appreciate the feedback, I seldom get any. I'm hoping no news is good news. - Mar 22 2019

Awesome! I noticed that when I resize windows on a dark page there is a little bit of a border on the right side of the cursor box. Should be a simple fix.
Do you plan on making a red version?
Keep up the good work! - Mar 17 2019

AvionX Theme

GTK3 Themes by solsticeman 26 comments

Sorry for the inconvenience. Editing GTK2.0 didn't fix everything, but it helped. I was reworking the rest of the elements of the theme for consistency 2 days ago when Manjaro messed up my portable hard drive, it doesn't play well with Mint and Ubuntu. I've wasted 2 days trying to fix it. I had the cinnamon part of theme fixed and was working on GTK 3 when the crash happened and I lost everything. Cinnamon looked way better in a lighter shade of blue. This theme should be wrapped up by the weekend and I will soon be getting a new pc as this one's ten years old. - Feb 06 2019
AvionX Theme

GTK3 Themes by solsticeman 26 comments

I messed up. Change the background, foregound and "select" colors. - Feb 06 2019
AvionX Theme

GTK3 Themes by solsticeman 26 comments

Sure.
XFCE is easy to edit. Swapping out the main 3 colors totally changes the theme.
You need a color picking program first, such as KcolorChooser, or you can use one online.
Next, using root, grab a theme in user/share/themes, make a copy and rename it.
Open the index file in the theme and change the name there, in order for the theme to be found by your theme manager.
Test to see if it loads.
Open up your GTK-2.0, then open up the gtkrc file with a text editor.
Change the background, foreground, and select the colors that you desire.
These are the 3 colors that are displayed by the theme manager.
Don't be afraid to change other colors in there. .
You can always edit your last change if you don't like it.
You need to close and reopen the theme manager to get the theme to compile.
After making a change, load another theme then load yours. to see the changes made.
Remember, backup your work frequently!
armageddon51 is correct. GTK3 adds the icing to the cake.
Some themes don't use it, but you can do more with the new coding.
The GTK-2 is used by many apps, such as GIMP and many of the music manager apps.
Good Luck! - Feb 06 2019
AvionX Theme

GTK3 Themes by solsticeman 26 comments

Fixed. I hope. It looks awesome in Manjaro XFCE. (The last screenshot) - Feb 04 2019
AvionX Theme

GTK3 Themes by solsticeman 26 comments

I know what you mean. It doesn't really work for me, either. The other thing I'm not pleased with is the menu slider bar. I couldn't get it to scroll over the top of the menu icons. If anyone know how to accomplish this, drop me a line. Thanks for your feedback, armageddon51 ! - Feb 03 2019
Krimson Theme

GTK3 Themes by solsticeman 5 comments

Agree, colors are close. You're right, Charlie. I'm an Ubuntu newb and had no idea about that theme. I recently ported it into Ubuntu after creating it for Mint. My grey color is a little bluer and better IMO. My original Crimson theme looked closer to it yet... https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1171102/ - Jan 30 2019

AvionX Theme

GTK3 Themes by solsticeman 26 comments

Try removing the GTK 3.0 and gtk-assets folders. Worked for me. Posting a picture. Sometimes less is better. I ran it in Manjaro-Xfce. - Jan 27 2019
AvionX Theme

GTK3 Themes by solsticeman 26 comments

Any luck? I'll install Xfce on a stick and take a look at things as I've only tested on Ubuntu, Mint 19, and Cinnamon Manjaro. - Jan 27 2019
AvionX Theme

GTK3 Themes by solsticeman 26 comments

The theme is probably not installed properly, hery9900. Usually the problem is that the theme folder is nested inside another folder after decompressing. When installed correctly, there should be no version info after the name. Eggs are better if you remove the shell first. You got me talking about eggs again. - Jan 27 2019

Perhaps I need to work on the description. thanks! This wasn't intended to be an icon thing. I'm not even sure what an icon theme is, but the them is showing up in icon themes. - Nov 23 2018

I appreciate the positive feedback, foobaz. ! A lot of experimental things things that I tried didn't work as planned, but I can live with it. Guess you've got to crack a few eggs to make an omelette. - Nov 02 2018
