rtwnt / numix-lithium

A theme based on numix-gtk-theme: https://github.com/numixproject/numix-gtk-theme

Numix-Lithium

A fork of Numix theme with light menu and menubar colors, to be used as a base for my other forks of the original theme.

Build It

First, you need to compile the theme using the Sass compiler.

To install Sass, install Ruby and the gem command using your distribution's package manager. Then install sass with the gem command,

gem install sass

You'll also need the glib-compile-schemas and gdk-pixbuf-pixdata commands in your path to generate the gresource binary. Install them using your distribution's package manager.

Distro	Commands
	sudo pacman -S glib2 gdk-pixbuf2
	sudo zipper install glib2-devel gdk-pixbuf-devel
	sudo dnf install glib2-devel gdk-pixbuf2-devel
	sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libxml2-utils

After installing all the dependencies, change to the cloned directory and, run the following in Terminal,

sudo make install

To set the theme in GNOME, run the following commands in Terminal,

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "Numix-Lithium
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme "Numix-Lithium"

To set the theme in Xfce, run the following commands in Terminal,

xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName -s "Numix-Lithium"
xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/theme -s "Numix-Lithium"

For developers

If you want to hack on the theme, make sure you have the inotifywait command available, which is used for watching and automatically building the files.

To start watching for changes, run the following,

make watch

If you change any assets, you'll need to regenerate the gtk.gresource.xml and gtk.gresource files. You can use grrr to do it easily.

Requirements

GTK+ 3.18 or above

Murrine theme engine
