To be consistent with the main themes we should also provide a similar folder/file structure. Mainly I'm talking about an app folder with all the app specific files.

/usr/share/themes/Ambiance

This should be done after the current refactoring but I would suggest that it's still on the milestone.

First of all, thanks a huge deal for the work on maintaining an updated version of this theme -- sure many of us feel the same way :)

Please refer to the following screenshot that demonstrates issues:

The one major issue title bars on Nautilus and Tweak Tool -- note: on screen they are actually black, on the screenshot file (png taken using plain ol' print screen) it's actually rendered with a checkered box -- indicating transparency. on the uploaded file its rendering as white -- it does not appear white on my screen.

Other two issues are minor design problems and are only visible on the active window:

1. top highlight for active window has the contrast is too high -- its basically white. a subtle contrast would better match original theme rendering.
2. shadow on active window title is light (on light text), it should be dark.

Please let me know if you need anything on my end to help!

It seems to me that nautilus toolbar should be styled further to achieve consistency with the title/menu bar above.
Some of the themes even have a different bgcolor.
I'm particularly interested in the MediterraneanWhite which looks like it will require the least effort --probably just removing the shaded line in between -- to achive the same look as other apps like gedit as in the screenshot below:

We don't see those round top corners anymore and control buttons are too close to the left under Ubuntu 14.04, which I think is a result of some recent changes in Unity.

The files gnome-apps.scss and menu_frames.scss are only present in TributeBlue.

Check if...

• they have to be enabled in gtk.scss.
• the other tribute themes should also include them.
• other themes also need them.

OS: Ubuntu 14.10
gtk-3-version: 3.12.2-0ubuntu15.2
gtk-2-version: 2.24.25-0ubuntu1

What steps will reproduce the issue?

• Open gedit.
• Press Ctrl + O to open a file.

What do you see?
A black block at the end of the files/folders list and around the All Files selection box

What is the expected output?
A proper color for the black block.

Hi there!

Not sure if it is related to his theme but, since I installed it, the following message shows up when running emacs from console on X:

(emacs:19581): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",

For instance, my emacs version is 23.4.1. I can provide any futher information upon request and guidance.

Thanks in advance, Alexandre.

There are some additional files in MediterraneanNight which shouldn't be there. Please review these files and remove them if necessary.

As Iceweasel/Linux under non-Unity WM's can't draw tabs directly on title bar (as in windows), it's needed to use the Hide Caption Titlebar Plus plugin to hide title bar.
This plugin allows also turn on custom [Min/Max/Close] buttons instead of system ones, but they look alien without according styles. Stylish plugin makes them possible.

I'm asking about Mediterranean styles for these buttons, helping [Min/Max/Close] buttons to look like native.

Examples of existent styles: https://userstyles.org/styles/44677/hctp-ambiance-theme, https://userstyles.org/styles/45151/hctp-elementary-theme

Manual which i used for Iceweasel configuration: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/firefox-4-get-tabs-in-title-bar-like.html
Hide Caption Titlebar Plus plugin (hides titlebar): https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/hide-caption-titlebar-plus-sma/
Stylish plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/stylish/

MediterraneanWhite received some Unity-related fixes in:

We have to see if other themes need a similar treatment, to avoid having inconsistencies among themes.

Hi!

I'm a Mediterranean theme user for a while now and it is by far the cleanest, neatest and sexiest theme out there! Kudos!

But recently I upgraded to cinnamon from 2.0 to 2.2 and it turns out it breaks parts of the Mediterranean wiget and window themes. I checked my version of GTK+ and it's 3.14.1.

Here are some of the things that are broken:

Is there something I can do about this?

Some that come to mind are omgubuntu and webupd8. We should request testers and people willing to help.

More sites would clearly be better.

Hi guys!

As you may have noticed, I haven't contributed anything to this project for about a year now. For different reasons (lake of time, knowledge, interest, ...). In the meantime I also switched to the dark Numix theme which looks more minimalistically. That's the same reason why I prefer Unity over Gnome. So it's just a personal preference.

The sass branch is already ready to use 😉. Always has been. Just test it with the gtk3-widget-factory. Don't forget to build (make css) it first.
I always wanted to do a last fine-tuning to unify the rest of the code as well, but wasn't able to do so. If you take a look at the MediterraneanWhiteNight sass files, you'll see that only 4 files (gtk.scss, gtk-widgets-assets.scss, gtk-colors.scss and colors.scss) have a unique implementation.

• gtk-colors.scss and colors.scss because each theme has its own color set.
• gtk.scss because you can adjust some parts of the theme. e.g. you can choose between darker or lighter tabs. Or the nautilus theme.
• gtk-widgets-assets.scss because all assets are shared but each theme uses a different configuration of them (light or dark).

All other files are using the files in the MediterraneanCommon folder. Fixing a bug in the MediterraneanCommon files will fix the bug for all themes. Therefore I would suggest to use the sass branch for now on. However, before doing so, please check the themes in the branch with common programs like nautilus, libre-office and others to see if there is a different output between the sass branch and the master branch. (I didn't find any 🎉)

Thank you guys, it was a pleasure working with you. 😸

Titlebar, titlebar buttons, select menus, radiobuttons, buttons. scrollbars basically everything is broken.

The files have all inconsistent indentation and we should use some tool such as tidycss (or any other) to make sure that we keep everything uniform.

Could it be possible to have .deb files to make installation or update easier?

In apps using GTK 3.10 an newer menu items are almost inreadable because of the background filled with white.

PS Adding a file gtk.css to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/ with a code

.menuitem * { background-color: transparent }

solved a problem for me.

I guess that, given all the late activity, we could prepare a first "alpha" release (to be followed by further alphas/betas?) for people to test and report back problems that they see in real life (and environments that we have not used).

To avoid 👍

Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `GtkRange::activate-slider' of type `gboolean' from rc file value "((GString*) 0xbad480)" of type `GString'
Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `GtkRange::activate-slider' of type `gboolean' from rc file value "((GString*) 0xbad480)" of type `GString'

In /usr/share/themes/MediterraneanDarkest/gtk-2.0/gtkrc :

replace :
GtkScrollbar ::activate-slider = FALSE

with :
GtkScrollbar ::activate-slider = 0

The gtk-widgets-assets differences may be solved by flags. Most of the differences are just light and dark asserts usages because of different background colors.

Overall it works great :) There's just a few things that stick out.

XFCE's indicator plugin (and indicator-sound's mpris2 parts) use the main window background and text colors instead of the panel/menu's colors:

https://i.imgur.com/2JlxbHl.png (WhiteNight)
https://i.imgur.com/lPjD44G.png (Dark)

Whisker menu isn't fully themed. Proper colors are used, but category buttons aren't styled:

I'm recently using this theme installed from AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mediterraneannight-theme/ and found several issues related to gtk-3.20. I've attached log file from nemo to see the issues.
nemo.txt

This project started its life as a mix of integrating some patches and, also, creating Debian packages, with most of the focus on the packaging side.

This is the reason for the pkg- prefix in the name of the repository, but, now, the project has shifted its focus and it is more of a development nature than of a packaging one.

Therefore, I think that it would be fit to rename this repository and kill the pkg- prefix.

What do you think? Comments are highly welcome.

Thanks,
Rogério Brito.

I've recently updated my Ubuntu from 13.04 to 14.04, and got problem with windows decorators, it's look very poor.
I think this is due to using windows decorator Untiy on new Ubuntu, instead of Metacity.

It seems necessary to register styles for Unity as somthing like this: unity.css

To make the themes be even more similar (and all working as well as they should), we should "transplant" the changes that I made in the MediterraneanNight theme to the other themes. These can be seen (partially) with the command:

git diff --ignore-all-space 60c2b714.. MediterraneanNight

Hi, @darvelo, @robertpainsi, @Dvad and others.

(Please forgive any omissions---it's not really intentional).

It is really clear to me that you guys have a much better understanding of CSS and related technologies than I do. Furthermore, given my lack of time, I think that I would like to pass on the maintenance of the project to more skilled parties.

I really mostly care about MediterraneanNight (with the window manager decorations from Zukitwo, namely, Zukitwo Dark) and you guys have been doing a super great job refactoring the themes so as to make them consistent.

I would, therefore, like to accept more collaborators to this project or even "donate" the project to one of you. I may still be contributing one patch or another, but I want to concentrate my attention on other projects that are currently more important for me, given that the basics of theming with MATE are sufficient for my needs.

So, what do you think? Your opinions are highly appreciated.

Regards,

Rogério Brito.

First of all, thanks a million for bringing this great theme pack back to life :-)
I love it so much that I've even made two extra versions by simply blending LightDarkest and TributeBlue, and adding two different sets of window control buttons:
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/MediterraneanShiki?content=162798
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/MediterraneanBeforeDawn?content=162747

As for the issue: could we again have the same dark bgcolor for nautilus toolbar/locationbar please?

Unfortunately, when Firefox is compiled with GTK3 support (as, say, Firefox 42), the tooltips that it creates are totally unreadable with the current version of the theme (I'm using Mediterranean Night).

I will try to provide a screenshot soon.

If anybody (@robertpainsi, @darvelo, @Dvad, anyone else?) has a fix for this issue, please send a pull request.

Thanks.

OS: Ubuntu 14.10
Themes: MediterraneanDarkest
gtk-3-version: 3.12.2-0ubuntu15.2
gtk-2-version: 2.24.25-0ubuntu1

What steps will reproduce the issue?

• Open gedit.
• Enable current line highlighting (Edit -> Preferences -> Highlight current line)
• Go to a line with a white text.

What do you see?
White text in the highlighted line is hardly readable.

What is the expected output?
The highlighting color should just be slightly different than the background color.

Hi!

Changing/Updating/Fixing things for these awesome themes always includes fixing it for every single theme the same way. Nobody wants to do that and it's also error-prone.

So how about creating a main/default version of all css? So each theme just imports the main theme and adapt settings which are necessary. The original creator already thought about that by moving all colors into a single file.

Since I'm not familiar with "themeing" at all (but with css) I have to ask if its possible or if there are any drawbacks?

Actually, Mediterranean Series have always had this problem in the main MediterraneanDark and MediterraneanLight themes, but not in MediterraneanTribute themes.
So I used to overcome this by importing (symlinking) ./gtk-2.0/gtkrc file from MediterraneanTribute themes, even creating MediterraneanShiki (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/MediterraneanShiki?content=162798) and MediterraneanBeforeDawn (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/MediterraneanBeforeDawn?content=162747) themes by also adding those good old metacity buttons.

Now, as you might perhaps already know, another themer has also updated the MediterraneanLight theme only (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Medilight-487940807) which doesn't have this problem any more.

Perhaps you might also like to incorporate the same in your ./gtk-2.0/gtkrc files to make this entire theme set perfect.

Kind regards

Some applications like https://github.com/baedert/corebird have transparent title bar, and it make some part unreadable, could it be fixed?

Hi.

I'm having a serious problem with network manager applet and this theme. Due to the internal wifi card of this notebook being unreliable, I started using an USB adapter, but when I try to disable it with network manager applet, I can't really see which is the internal wifi interface and which is the USB interface.

See the screenshot below:

Can anybody help here?

Thanks,

Rogério.

Hi,

With the repo version of the theme I have this rendering,

Do you see the same thing on tab? I can correct it, but I don't know what is the best strategy to commit changes here. In debian patches directory or in tree directly.
