(currently only the selected +background color is replaced) As a result of doing it this method, we don't have to worry about updating the CSS every time GNOME's developers decide to break everything with a new minor version of GTK3, again. We can make upstream do all the work. :) ## Current problems -- Due to the way Zukitwo does GTK3's switch elements, they do not properly fit - the different color themes. Zukitwo uses images for the switches, rather than - pure CSS. Pull requests to fix this are welcomed, though. - I'm still learning GTK, and GNOME developers, for some god-only-knows-why reason they decided to provide pretty awful documentation. - Eventually this will stop working since GNOME developers will probably think that GTK 3 on non-GNOME environments is deprecated or something, and not worth their support. It's probably better to use Qt in the future. -- At the moment, the theme is (obviously) not a completely accurate recreation - of Shiki-Colors-Murrine. It is not intended to really be a pixel-for-pixel - remake of the theme; times have changed, and I like to think that so would - the original theme if it were still being developed. +- It doesn't look exactly like the original theme; part of this is intentional, + part of it is that the theme looks better, to me, than the original one. ## Credits -- [zuki-themes] by [lassekongo83] -- [Shiki-Colors-Xfwm] by [fredbird67] -- Shiki-Colors-Openbox by [Arthur Spitzer] - - also, note that I don't use Openbox so I can not really vouch for this.
