Thanks! I too love more the grayish version rather than the colored one. I just thought that probably a color refresh would have been well received by the users! Anyhow, I promise not to forget the monochrome version at all :) - Aug 06 2013

Hey!

I know you! You're mariano gaudix on google plus, am I right? I'm Alessandro Roncone, the awoken developer and the guy who commented to your last g+ post. Your work is great! As soon as you'll release also a dark version, I'll be the first to try it! :) - Jul 30 2013

My problem is that I have to pack three different iconsets, so they're packed in three .tar.gz archives inside a single .zip. Obviously, the .zip is not a valid theme file, but the three independent .tar.gz are valid. Try to add them instead of the bigger one!

Regarding your issues:

1. you have to copy the files to /usr/bin, not /usr/lib :)

2. Kde has some problems with rendering small icons. But this can easily be the case of missing icons in my iconset! Can you please share a screenshot? - Mar 25 2013

Ok that is the old theme. There should be a folder in it in which you can see the old themes and stuff, and instructions about how to reproduce them :) - Aug 14 2012

Problem is that this theme isn't updated for 3.4 yet. I will directly to 3.6 version, so stay tuned with next gnome release since I will release the update in a week or two! :) - Aug 14 2012

Oh nice!

So can I add this to the AwOken description? I think that this could be very useful for some users! :)

A question though: does the customization script work properly when using your package? - May 30 2012

Sorry but I didn't understand: you created packages for opensuse? If so, what an opensuse user (assuming he is a super noob who doesn't know anything) would have to do to get AwOken installed on his machine? - May 29 2012

It's in the description: you need to colorize the icons with 99/15/00 color combination. If you don't know how to do it, simply read the installation and instructions file that comes with awoken icon set. - May 22 2012

For skype (gksu apps are not meant to use a theme) you have to go to ~/.themes/GrayRevenge/gtk-2.0/gtrc and change the value of "selected_bg_color:" (line #7) :) - May 07 2012

GTK3/4 Themes by alecive 53 comments

I'm actually doing something different right now so I suppose that on this theme I will do only fixes. But if you want to do something by your own, just go to ~/.themes/GrayRevenge/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and change the value for "theme_selected_bg_color" with whatever you want. Then logout/login. Does this change the color? - May 07 2012

The color/no color options unfortunately doesn't manage all the icons (even if it handle most of them). But to what folder type are you referring?

Full Icon Themes by alecive 523 comments

The problem is exactly the previous, ie when you launch the script, it launches zenity but zenity output is not "standard", and it's different from the output that the script expected.
For example, if I run from terminal this command (this is the command that I use to show the first window dialog):

zenity --info --title="$ICNSTG $VER Customization script" --text="***********************************************************************************************\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>$ICNST $VER CUSTOMIZATION SCRIPT</b>\n\nThanks for choosing $ICNST iconset, and welcome to the latest version of $ICNST customization script.\n\nSince the ever growing nature of this software, it's more than welcome any notification of any bug you will (surely) find.\nIf so, please send me a mail to <i>'alecive87@gmail.com'</i>, trying to explain briefly the problem you encountered. If necessary (as often is), be sure to attach the whole terminal output, so I can easily manage the issue.\n\n***********************************************************************************************\n\nIf you like efforts that i put in this work, or you think that I'm a nice guy, or that anyway I deserve a contribution, please consider a small donation (1$ goes a long way) via PayPal to <i>'alecive87@gmail.com'</i>.\n\n***********************************************************************************************\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Click the Close button to continue."

and then I click on the "close" button, the terminal output returns nothing. If you do the same, the terminal output is instead different (and I think is something like this -> "progname=zenity; RGBA=on"). So the script can't run correctly since it cannot parse properly zenity output!

The only thing you can do for now is to run the script without the GUI. But to do this you can either hard-code the customization script (but I think this could be both overwhelming and dangerous), or you remove zenity from /usr/bin (so the script can run without it).

Maybe from next version I'll add a flag to handle this thing, but for now this is the only solution. - Feb 29 2012

Full Icon Themes by alecive 523 comments

I'm sorry but this can't be done from an iconset itself. you should hardcode the icontheme (and if you want I can tell you how), but it's difficult to achieve anyway!

The best thing you can do is to decrease dash transparency so the icons should be more contrasted than the background :) - Feb 28 2012

And actually you're right man. But installing the script in .icons requires some sudo commands (as I stated in the description). Did you do them right? - Feb 26 2012

Full Icon Themes by alecive 59 comments

Unfortunately no. This is a stupid thing (since to get something well integrated you have to change both tray icons and system icons), but is this way that kde uses from kde4. So you should ask to the creator of the plasma theme :) - Feb 26 2012

Full Icon Themes by alecive 59 comments

The tray is not handled by the icon theme, but by the plasma theme, so I have no idea about how to solve your problem :)

Full Icon Themes by alecive 523 comments

I actually think the same. The error you posted seems related to a zenity bug rather than a bug in the iconset. A couple of questions though:

1. what did you do when you got that error?
2. what version of gnome does solusos ship? gnome2 or gnome3? - Feb 25 2012

GTK3/4 Themes by alecive 89 comments

Actually it's a good point, and your suggestion is basically the smartest idea to solve this problem. But, even though this shouldn't be difficult from a pure image approach (I have only to mirror images from the left to the right), I actually don't know how to tell to the window manager when using one layout rather than the other one. I'm sorry, but I think that this is the best I can achieve :( - Feb 13 2012

GTK3/4 Themes by alecive 89 comments

I completely agree with you, but the problem itself is that I never experienced such an issue. On my machine was not needed to do so, the problem never revealed.
So I'm guessing if your problem is actually different (but anyhow you solved it changing titlebar buttons), or it is what you explained before but my default configuration overcame it for reasons that I ignore.
So, if it's the former case, probably the best thing is doing nothing (since your problem is not so common); if it's the latter case, I should really do what you suggested me since it's my solution that is not so common!
I actually don't know what to do :) - Feb 11 2012

GTK3/4 Themes by alecive 53 comments

Sorry for the late reply but I have some problems. Even if I think that you has moved to other themes, are you experiencing this problem now? The issue is surely related to some missing engines (probably equinox) - Feb 10 2012

A New Start BLOOD

GTK3/4 Themes by alecive 14 comments

You don't have to move the theme to "/usr/share/themes", just move the theme to "~/.themes"!

So do this and cancell al your previous attempts. Now, in your .themes folder you should have a folder called "ANewStartBlood", and inside it you should have these folders:

gnome-shell gtk-2.0 gtk-3.0 metacity-1 unity

and the file ANewStartBlood.desktop

Now, what do you mean with "Advanced Settings"? Gnome-tweak-tool? - Dec 23 2011
