Description It has a name! Cherry Bomb

The shell theme evolved from glassart-arch + colors by malys [link]

You can use any gtk with it (I recommend a dark one), I've included a slightly modified copy of Dark Grey-n-Red-GTK by CraazyT [link]

Now contains 3 metacity themes, the default is a modified Ordinary Metacity that I have matched to this theme & is designed to maximize the use of vertical space, as is the modified Adwaita. The third selection is a colorized version of iCrystal.

Enjoy!

Incorporated a fix into the Gtk theme packaged with this theme. It gives you a nice black text cursor (not the one you push around with the mouse), & black on crisp white in the text entry input areas.

#### Firefox text fix goes inside the theme name/gtk-2.0/gtkrc (or an app fix in the gtk-2.0/styles) This should work with all problematic dark themes in Firefox #########

style "ff" {
text[NORMAL] = "#000000"
base[NORMAL] = "#FFFFFF"
}
class "GtkInvisible" style "ff"
widget "GtkInvisible" style "ff"

style "custom" {
GtkWidget::cursor-color = "#000000"
GtkWidget::secondary-cursor-color = "#FF0000"
}
widget_class "*" style "custom"

###### End of Firefox fix ##########

I don't know what the secondary cursor is, but you'll have a red one with this.

A more traditional version can be found here [link]

Looks pretty good. I made a change for text entry in Firefox, that problem is so prevalent in dark themes.

All people need to do is paste this into the gtkrc:

style "ff"
{
text[NORMAL] = "#000000"
base[NORMAL] = "#FFFFFF"
}
class "GtkInvisible" style "ff"
widget "GtkInvisible" style "ff"

I already added it to the version I packaged with this shell theme. I know I can probably add something to this to get the cursor to stand out in the entry boxes but haven't figured that out yet.

Cool!,

I hated that about firefox before glad you found a solution. I was thinking of trying linux mint this weekend with cinnamon and seeing what I could tweak. Heck maybe even update all my themes if I get time, thanks for the info

cbowman57 In reply to CraazyT [2012-06-01 21:28:56 +0000 UTC]

I'm trying to spread that info.

It's basically the "fix dark theme" tip that went in the userChrome.css, or whatever it's called. I've used it in the themes that have the /styles folder, those without & a few others I've probably forgot. I was playing with the old gnome-color-chooser the other day, it creates custom gtkrc files so as a theme tool it still has value. You can use it to create a custom.css patch then copy & paste the relavent lines into the gtkrc , ~/.gtkrc & probably places I haven't even thought of yet.

Haven't tried getting a better text cursor display in FF yet though. If you stumble on the cure for that we'll be all set.

Ah...userchrome.css huh? hmm..I didn't know about gnome-color-chooser being able to do that, that is cool! Maybe just use a white cursor theme huh? Just a suggestion hehe!

Oh, the userChrome.css is in the ~/.mozilla/profile/chrome folder, I don't think Firefox even creates one anymore, but that method works with all themes too. I just think it's time people can quit patching around the dark themes.

Ok, posted the fix I settled on up in the description & updated the theme so everybody will get it with a fresh download.

Wouldn't hurt to have some others check it out & make sure it works ok, and in what ways it can be used. I still think it will now work in the ~/.gtkrc this way too, which would make for a universal fix across all themes.

So test it, then let's turn it loose into the wild.

No, it's the text cursor. Might be it needs text[ACTIVE] or [SELECTED], possibly fg[ACTIVE].

I been busy,hoped someone else would tackle that one. What I like is that the tweak seems to work everywhere I've tried. It will conflict with the userChrome.css method, IIRC. So if that method is in use it may be requier to zip it up, copy, delete so just the gtkrc is in play.

Yeah, about the only part that would work on a *box would be the metacity, I think.
