GTK3 theme?

[reeseovine]

I have no idea how GTK themes are colored, but I think this would be a cool idea. It might be more than you can handle, and that's ok.

Thanks, @katacarbix , that is a great idea! Looks like GTK themes have a fairly high complexity ceiling (here's one that looks pretty cool), but I wonder if something basic would still be a valid theme and wouldn't be too hard. 🤔

Themer templates are nothing more than a JavaScript function that takes a set of colors and returns a list of files to be written to disk—would you consider implementing a themer-gtk3 package?

I'm closing this for now, due to inactivity, but I am willing to re-open if there is a lot of interest for GTK support.

I'm interested in this, because in comparison of KDE, I can't theme it using settings, so having a way to theme it with web app could be nice

[mjswensen]

Cool. Reopening.

That would be sweet if possible!

For anyone interested here's an official theme tutorial

I am in process of writing it but probably someone could implement it before me 😄

This would be awesome to have if possible!

Well, I wrote themer-gnome-colors as a starting point on the same concern. It's also available in npm, as in

npm install themer-gnome-colors

The trick here is to pull the colors from gnome-terminal, assuming it uses the default Gnome color scheme. This assumption could be checked at the colors generation ; there are usable dconf instructions if you browse themer-gnome-terminal.

At the moment, it only generates colors for the dark theme. I think that's enough work for today ; any comments appreciated !
