GrayDay
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
A theme inspired by my earlier work "Adwaita-cupertino" but looking softer contrasts and less "cupertino"
Added gnome-shell theme adapted to GrayDay
The gnome-shell theme is a modification of the nice theme "Ambiance Blue Theme Suite" created by satya164
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Ambiance+Blue+Theme+Suite?content=133676
Requirements: Gnome 3.4, GTK3 unico-engine, GTK2 Murrine and Pixmap engines.
Tested in Fedora 17 Gnome 3.4.x and Unity/Ubuntu 12.04
IMPORTANT: Inside the theme folder there is a readme.txt file with some instructions for customizations.
- 6 presets for change the highlight color scheme easily
- 5 styles for nautilus
3 styles to fit gnome 3.4 (gnome-shell) without globalmenu
2 styles specific for unity, to fit gnome 3.4 with globalmenu
- 5 styles for tabs (tabs-themed, tabs-themed-light, tabs-dark, tabs-gray, tabs-classic) see screenshot 3
- 2 styles for unity top panel (default theme and dark)

Is there a way to adjust the highlight color shading used in Gedit and LibreOffice? When I use Gedit or LibreOffice, and I highlight text, the shading is too light and hard for me to see. I would like to make it darker, similar to what I've done with the shading in nautilus. Where can I make this adjustment if possible?

- edit the file ../grayday/gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets.css
and add this to the end of the file (copy/paste)
@define-color back_linenumber_color shade(@theme_bg_color, 1.05);
GeditWindow GtkTextView {
background-color: @back_linenumber_color;
}
GtkTextView.view:selected {
background-color: shade(@theme_selected_bg_color, 1.70);
}
Now you can set the background color of the line numbers and color selection within gedit.
On LibreOffice ... considering it is a gtk2 application, the only thing I can think of is to try to change the selection color for gtk2
- edit the file ../grayday/gtk-2.0/colors/gtk2-colors-fedora.rc
find
gtk-color-scheme = "selected_bg_color:#4a70a6"
gtk-color-scheme = "selected_fg_color:#ffffff"
the first is the background color selection , and second, the selected foreground color

Thanks for the quick response. The change gtk-widgets.css file worked to change the text selection color in Gedit. The text selection is darker now and easier to see.
Regarding the change to gtk2-colors-fedora.rc, it didn't seem to have an impact on the text selection color in LibreOffice. If you think of something else to try let me know. Thanks again for a great theme.

- The theme is not for gnome 3.6, is for gnome 3.4
- Due to internal differences between gnome 3.6 and gnome 3.4, the themes of the two versions are incompatible.
- You can not fix if you can not do a theme for gnome 3.6, have to change many lines of code, too. (not a few lines)
- If the theme is not compatible with gnome 3.6, is because Gnome developers makes it incompatible with their updates.
- in just one year because of these updates I had to throw it away full theme 4 times, (lots of hours of work) and really tired already
- I'm trying to port the theme to gnome 3.6, but I can not say when it will be finished, some internal changes are too drastic.
sorry

It is because of stress, too many themes to maintain, and the tendency to assume that people know how to do everything necessary to run a theme, sorry :)

I remember reporting the same problem once over Adwaita Cupertino theme but nothing has been improved since then. Now I meet the same problem with Grayday.
