I haven't worked as much on the gtk2 theme *yet*, since at the moment I'm on 12.2 with GNOME 3.4 and that theme's been completely reworked for 3.6. But it was actually way easier than the gtk3 theme - I only had to change one color in one place. In contrast, gtk3 Adwaita uses a lot of slightly different blues, so my theme still has blue elements in odd places. :-( There's actually three that would need to be maintained in tandem - gtk2, gtk3-light, and gtk3-dark. And in general themes get broken completely every update. As a familiar example, we probably should not have shipped Sonar in the 12.2 repos - it might have been awesome in GNOME 3.2 (judging from screenshots), but it looks terrible in 3.4, and the author stopped maintaining it precisely because it gets broken every six months. But most themes are also significant works of effort. What Richard and I proposed is just changing a few blues to greens, which is really simple. When new blue things pop up, it shouldn't be too hard fix. My 60% done version only took an hour. Honestly - I might be able to maintain this, but since it's not ready yet, surely won't work in Factory, I've never even run Factory before, etc. etc. I don't want to commit to that quite yet. But I'll get in touch with Richard and share what I've done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
