Installation

Fedora:
sudo dnf copr enable monday15/lounge
sudo dnf install lounge-gtk-theme
or
sudo dnf install lounge-gtk-theme-xfce-sway for xfce/sway users.

Lounge-aux-icon-theme comes as a weak dependency, with Adwaita as a main icon theme. Lounge-backgrounds is also a recommended dependency.

Ubuntu:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:monday15/lounge
sudo apt install lounge-gtk-theme
or
sudo apt install lounge-gtk-theme-xfce-sway for xfce/sway users.

Lounge-aux-icon-theme comes as a weak dependency, with Adwaita as a main icon theme. Lounge-backgrounds is also a recommended dependency.

Flatpak

Flatpak apps support available via Flathub:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install flathub org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Lounge
flatpak install flathub org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Lounge-night
flatpak install flathub org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Lounge-compact
flatpak install flathub org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Lounge-night-compact

If you want to use the theme built with custom options for flatpak apps, you can install default flatpak package and copy files from you variant of the theme to flatpak folder. Default location for flatpak packages is /var/lib/flatpak/..., full command will look something like sudo cp -r /usr/share/themes/Lounge/gtk-3.0/* /var/lib/flatpak/runtime/org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Lounge/x86_64/3.22/active/files/. Note, that flatpak supports only gtk3 themes.

Building

Requirements:
gtk3 (3.22+)
meson (0.45+)
sassc
gtk-murrine-engine (gtk2-engines-murrine for debian/ubuntu).

• Download and decompress source tarball (or clone repository);

• Build theme:
  meson build -Doption=value

  (availiable options screenshot)

  Option	Default value	Other values	Description
  tone	tango	salsa rumba jive	Color scheme
  style	prime	flat	Theme style (only for gtk2/gtk3)
  scale_style	casual	fancy	Scales and progressbars style (only for gtk2/gtk3)
  scrollbar_handles	no_handles	with_handles	Handles on scrollbars
  button_outlines	strong	bright	Focus outline color on regular buttons in a light theme (only for gtk3)
  shell_font	Roboto	any font	Set font for gnome-shell theme
  gtk2_solid_menu	false	true	Use solid border for menus in gtk2 theme - highly recommended option for XFCE/Sway users, but looks bad in GNOME, screenshot from XFCE
  icons	true	false	Build auxiliary icon theme
  icon_theme	Adwaita	any theme	Set main icon theme for auxiliary one
  gnome_version	auto	3.28 - 3.34	Affects only gnome-shell theme and nautilus style. Meson detect gnome version automatically based on gnome-shell version, if there is no gnome-shell and you plan to use nautilus file manager - you need to set version manually, so correct style will be used.

  For example, meson build -Dtone=salsa -Dscale_style=fancy -Dshell-font='Liberation Sans'
  builds the theme with purple accent colors, colored scales/progressbars, and with Liberation Sans font in gnome-shell.

• Install theme:
  sudo ninja -C build install

lounge-gtk-theme's Issues

shell: OpenWeather extension doesn't look right

Hi there,

I recently installed an extension called OpenWeather and it turned out to be useful. Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem with the background. Here is what I mean:

Adwaita and Arc don't seem to have this issue but Lounge does. Do you know what could be the problem here? It isn't a huge issue but maybe something worth looking into.

In case you're interested, I am using GNOME 3.30 on Fedora 29.

Make terminal text white not grey

I think it improves visibility

gtk3: Scrollbar blurry handle bug

I'll explain later why it is happens.

Change colour of sliders in gnome shell

Can you change the colours of these sliders to from gray to theme accent ?

Feature request : custom tone color for gtk2/3 theme

Hi, enjoy your theme since a while ..

I'm wondering if there's a chance to implement the possibility to use a custom tone color using the meson build options

e. g:
meson build -Dtone=#RRGGBB

thanks

Unreadable text in Gnome-shell

Hi, as the title say, that's the situation. Gnome 3.34.1 - The distro is Manjaro

Black margin around scroll bars in liferea internal web browser

Scroll bars in Liferea's internal web browser (libwebkit2gtk I think) are surrounded by black margins. (Tested on Xubuntu 19.04, WM compositing off.)

Screenshots and 1 request.

This is your theme with a different xfwm4 theme that I stole from another theme and it fits perfect in my eyes.The color is off just a hair. Other than just showing the xfwm4 theme I was wondering if you meant to leave the desktop icons with the background shadow that is visible. You will see what I am talking about in screen shots. This is newaita icons which comes in two icon sets, one for light and one for dark and each can be changed colors to like 4 different colors. This is one of my favorite themes now that I have found this xfwm4 theme.



I love this theme I just wish I new how to change the color of .xmp files without losing there fade and all that so I could adjust this xfwm4 to perfect color. It tries to pick the colors up from the theme but it doesn't match all the way.

[request] Slim version

For Adwaita, godlyranchdressing created a tweaked Adwaita-Slim theme which just slims down the excessive padding without changing anything else in the original Adwaita theme.

Would you be open to releasing a similar Lounge-Slim version alongside the original version?

Left border of grouped buttons missing

Here is an example of 2 buttons grouped together. The left one is missing its side border (as opposed to the single button):

I found the same in selects:

Best theme BTW

gtk3: Scrollbar trough (background) in Libreoffice is ugly

That's because they use some kind of gtk api that cant correctly handle this kind of scrollbars. I'll contact LO devs later.

gtk3: LibreOffice tabs are hard to read

Hello,

I have found another problem which is maybe worth looking into. When using the ribbon UI in LibreOffice, it isn't easy to see which option you selected as there is no indicator. Adwaita has a blue indicator while Arc uses a whole tab. Having a blue indicator like Adwaita's or similar accent found in Lounge might be nice.

Here is what LibreOffice shows with Lounge:

With Adwaita:

With Arc:

If you want to take a look at LibreOffice with this mode, you need to do the following:

1. "Tools" -> "Options" (ALT+F12) -> "Advanced"
2. Enable "Enable Experimental Features (may be unstable)
3. Restart LibreOffice
4. Then, Click on: "View" -> "User Interface" and select "Tabbed"

xfce4 elements are dark in the light theme variant

The xfce panel, alt-tab switcher, and mailwatch panel plugin (and probably some other plugins) are dark, even in the light theme variant. This not only looks strange, but also makes some items (e.g. icon sets intended for light themes) difficult to see.

The workspace switcher also looks wrong in the light variant, with such low contrast between its rectangles that it's sometimes difficult to see them.

[Request] Flat variant

The theme is great, but please consider creating a flat variant.

[request] Gnome-shell night theme

Hello @monday15 .
Firstly congrats for this theme. I am really enjoying it!

I would like to ask you to also add the night version for gnome-shell as well.
When I installed it, I realized the gnome-shell only got the "light" one, while the windows got both, light and night versions.

gtk2: Add dark theme

I had tried this theme. I like it.

Could you develop a dark version, especially for the applications which are using Gtk2, like audacious, dia, inkscape, etc.?
