Blumix Gtk Theme: Simple. Rounded. Essential. Started as a minimal Blue-ish Mod for Numix Gtk3 Theme, now, with some perspective, it's growing with its own identity. It supports gtk3.10, gtk3.6, gtk2and metacity3. :)
just copy-paste this line in your terminal. Press Enter. Magic will happen. (It will ask for super-user permissions to copy the theme in /usr/share/themes)
mkdir -p ~/blumix-install && cd ~/blumix-install && wget https://github.com/rhoconlinux/Blumix/archive/master.zip && unzip master.zip && cd Blumix-master && sudo rm -Rf --force /usr/share/themes/Blumix1.0/ && sudo cp -a Blumix /usr/share/themes/Blumix1.0 && gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "Blumix1.0" && gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme 'Blumix1.0' && cd ~ && rm -R ~/blumix-install/
| Note |
|---|
| Please note that this theme will require murrine, pixbuf and unico engines installed on your system. If you don't have them, Firefox, Thunderbird, Libreoffice and other gtk2 programs won't draw the theme (and you'll get a win95 look).To install the requiried packages in Ubuntu and derivatives, run: |
sudo apt-get install -y gtk2-engines-murrine gtk2-engines-pixbuf gtk3-engines-unico |
Download the file from here (or click on the "download" button on the right sidebar). Once you got the file, uncompress the zip. Browse the uncompressed content and copy the folder named Blumix (not blumix-master!) in /usr/share/themes/ (this will require root access). Apply it with your favourite tunning tool (gnome-tweaks, unity-tweak, ubuntu-tweak... etc.). If you can't see properly some apps read the note above... probably you should install the required engines to make it work. You can also pass by and give a like in deviant-art and gnome-look if you feel so. If you see anything odd, please report a bug or drop a comment in my blog.
