Shades-of-gray

Shades-of-gray is a flat dark GTK-theme with ergonomic contrasts. It supports Gnome, Cinnamon, Xfce4, Mate and Openbox. Theme customizations for Firefox, Thunderbird and Inkscape are additionally included. Shades-of-gray is available in 8 color variants:


Gray, Arch, Cerulean, Firebrick, Harvest, Orient, Patina

The following description with further information is part of the file Shades-of-gray-Readme.html, contained in the Shades-of-gray theme folder.

Table of Contents

Installation

Arch Linux

You can install the AUR package:

If you want to benefit from the latest upstream changes, it makes sense to install the Git version. In GitHub commits you can check if there are changes since the latest release that can be useful for you.

Installation via terminal

You can install the Git version by using this method:

mkdir ~/Shades-of-gray-git
cd ~/Shades-of-gray-git/
git clone https://github.com/WernerFP/Shades-of-gray-theme.git
cd Shades-of-gray-theme/
rm -rf README.md LICENSE .git
sudo cp -r * /usr/share/themes/

Note: existing installations of Shades-of-gray are overwritten by the last command. If Shades-of-gray was previously installed using your distribution‘s package management, the package should be uninstalled first.

Manual Installation

Copy the chosen theme folders either for personal use into directory ~/.themes/ or for common use into /usr/share/themes/.

Shades-of-gray can also be downloaded from openDesktop.org.

Gadgets

Each theme folder contains an app-gadgets directory with additional theme files for Thunderbird, Firefox and Inkscape.

Thunderbird

The folder assets and the file userChrome.css in folder ../app-gadgets/Thunderbird-Shades-of-gray/ contain a Thunderbird theme adapted to Shades of gray. To use these customizations, you can copy both to this location:

~/.thunderbird/<name-of-your-profile>/chrome/assets
~/.thunderbird/<name-of-your-profile>/chrome/userChrome.css

Select the default theme in the Thunderbird settings to ensure a consistent appearance.

• Thunderbird Calendar

Thunderbird‘s Calendar (formaly Lightning) is using its own bright colors in default setting. The option for using theme colors is hidden as 'Accessibility'. Open the Thunderbird settings and activate the checkbox 'Optimize colors for accessibility' in calendar area.

Note: Thunderbird 68.0: There are several bugs in the new Calendar (Lightning) - e.g. events are sometimes not visible in the "Today Pane". These problem can be handled by deleting the cache folder /.cache/thunderbird before starting Thunderbird (see also Shades-of-gray-Readme.html).

Firefox

The directory ../app-gadgets/Firefox-Shades-of-gray contains a collection of Shades-of gray theme modifications for Firefox:

  • userChrome.css
    This file contains modifications for the Firefox user interface.

  • userContent.css
    Herein are adjustments of the Firefox Home-Screen. In addition, the following customizations are imported via userContent.css:

  • about.css
    The file about.css contains Shades-of-gray theme customizations for Firefox about: pages.

  • bookmark-search-plus-2.css
    The file bookmark-search-plus-2.css contains a theme adaption for the very useful add-on Bookmark search plus 2 (AMO | Github).

  • panorama-tab-groups.css
    This is a modification for the dark theme of the recommended add-on Panorama Tab Groups (AMO | Github).

  • bookmarked-speed-dial.css
    Bookmarked Speed Dial (AMO) is an underrated add-on that offers similar functionality to Vivaldi Speed Dial. The file bookmarked-speed-dial.css is a Shades-of-gray theme customization. The folder bookmarked-speed-dial-images contains images wich you can choose as 'Default dial image' and 'Default folder image' in the add-on options.

To use the customizations for Firefox you can copy the contents of directory ../app-gadgets/Firefox-Shades-of-gray/ to this location:

~/.mozilla/firefox/<name-of-your-profile>/chrome/

Note: you should choose the dark style in Firefox to get a consistent dark appearance.

Note: as of Firefox 68/69, you must set the toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets preference to true in about:config in order to load userChrome.css and userContent.css files.

Inkscape

Original colored icons in older versions of Inkscape are hard to identify in dark themes. The file icon.svg in folder Inkscape-icons contains bright icons. To use them in Inkscape, the file must be stored in this directory:

~/.config/inkscape/icons/icons.svg

Note: not all symbols can be customized because Inkscape is partly using standard GTK symbols (🐞).

As of version 1.0 of Inkscape, this is obsolete.

GoldenDict

The file qt-style.css in folder GoldenDict improves the appearance of sidebars in GoldenDict.

To use them, open GoldenDict menu "Help → Configuration folder". A new folder will open with a path like this: ~/home/account_name/.goldendict/. Copy the file qt-style.css into this folder.

Syntax Highlighting

Shades-of-gray includes the syntax color scheme Shades-of-pastel for several editors. By using pastel colors on dark background like pastel chalks on a blackboard the Shades-of-pastel scheme provides balanced and easy on eyes contrasts. A set of previews is available in this separate Shades-of-pastel repository.


Shades of pastel: Bash sample in Sublime Text

• Sublime Text

To install the scheme for Sublime Text change to directory Shades-of-gray/app-gadgets/Syntax-Colors. Copy the contained file Shades-of-pastel.tmTheme to a folder in your Sublime Packages directory:

mkdir -p $HOME/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/Shades-of-pastel
cp Shades-of-pastel.tmTheme $HOME/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/Shades-of-pastel/

Now you can select the syntax color scheme Shades-of-pastel in menu Preferences.

• Gedit, Pluma, Xed, Mousepad

Shades-of-pastel can be used by editors with syntax highlighting based on GtkSourceView 3 or GtkSourceView 4. To install the color scheme change to directory Shades-of-gray/app-gadgets/Syntax-Colors. Copy the contained file shades-of-pastel.xml into the following user directories:

mkdir -p $HOME/.local/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles
cp shades-of-pastel.xml $HOME/.local/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles/

mkdir -p $HOME/.local/share/gtksourceview-4/styles
cp shades-of-pastel.xml $HOME/.local/share/gtksourceview-4/styles/

Shades-of-pastel is now available in the settings of your editor.

• Vim, GVim

To install Shades-of-pastel for Vim change to directory Shades-of-gray/app-gadgets/Syntax-Colors. Copy the file shades-of-pastel.vim into your Vim profile folder:

mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/colors
cp shades-of-pastel.vim $HOME/.vim/colors/

Turn on syntax highlighting (syntax on) in your configuration file (~/.vimrc) and append the line colorscheme shades-of-pastel if you want to use the Shades-of-Pastel scheme by default.
