There is an exheres in ::somasis; x11-themes/shiki-colors-revival.
## How this works
In order to minimize the amount of maintenance needed, we base these themes off
-of [zuki-themes] so that we benefit from [lassekongo83]'s work on Zukitwo.
+of [Numix] so that we benefit from the [shimmerproject]'s work on Numix.
The themes are then generated by using regular expressions to replace certain
variables in the CSS to change the colors to fit the [GNOME Colors palette]
-rather than using Zukitwo's default colors.
-
-After replacing the colors, some patches are applied for some more complicated
-patches; at the moment, we use a patch to enable a dark menubar theme, and to
-add a panel background image.
+rather than using Numix's default colors. (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.
