How is the difference in brightness/colour done?

Well there was no 'brightenss' control per sé because of a bug! That is now fixed.

Colors can now go in the '-z' option and transparency will be respected. The above reproducer now changes because transparency was there but hard coded

./mktranstext -Lbunsen -z'0.313 0.415 0.313 0.60' -x640 -y360 -k  -n foooxbtTRANS60  -l'Open Sans 100' -Slabs -s'Open Sans 100' -B'300 0' -T -t'labwcmoon 100' -J -p'364 26'

That line will reproduce the image I posted almost perfectly. I got the color from a color picker on the sage Pawel background. The color picker needs to support sRGB colorspace, or you have to calculate it, or use one of online converters.

The 'brightness' I suppose can be controlled with the alpha channel, in sRGB that's between 0.0 and 1.0. For a glassy effect I find that anything 0.4 to 0.7 is fine depending on the color and the background color. You can loop over and make a heap of images incrementing alpha by 0.05 at a time (use dc or bc I guess for fp math) and pick the most suitable.

Flame and bunsen is RGBA of 666666ff and labs is 999999ff. Straight greyscale, no opacity, no gradients, easy. -edit- Oh, I thought you meant the actual forum svg image.

Looks very nice with the PC bark wallpaper, which went up in bunsen-images 13.1-1.
@hhh what do you think of using this icon theme in Carbon by default?
(Please be honest, I'm sure Micko will cope if you say "no".)

It's fine by me, though I haven't tested them out yet. Which repo should I be cloning? I only see @micko's, I can't find the carbon package I quoted above...

any idea why the *orig.tar.gz tarball also contains a Debian subfolder, and the *debian.tar.xz has some of the themes included?

Packaging confusion on my part. Really, all the tutorials out there kind of suck. None of them walks you through adding/changing data files like the images and symlinks in an icon set, yet they'll get bogged down with walking you through three ways of doing the same thing. I've been supremely frustrated trying to grok the process.

Anyway, if we use @micko's icons, we won't have to worry about it. We can just put a note in the Release notes saying that the walls and themes also work with yaru-theme-icons bark and sage.

^@johnraff has forked it - https://github.com/BunsenLabs/labbe-mat … ree/carbon

And he didn't muck about!

apt search labbe-material
labbe-material-icons/carbon 0.1.0-1 all
  Light weight gtk icon theme.

I was thinking about the difference between bunsen and labs in terms of fonts (like bold vs regular), but of course it's all baked into the image anyway.

You should be able to install labbe-material-icons via apt the usual way (after an 'apt upgrade' of course). It's in the BL "carbon" repo. My carbon VM found it OK.

If you want to look at the source, it's in the BL clone that Micko linked, but it's identical with his.

@Micko01 one small remaining tweak: Readme.md is oriented towards people reading the GitHub repo, not a file installed on their system. In particular:
README.md wrote:

Maybe easily fixed by adding a url at the end of that? In fact, a "bug reports" url and the url of the GitHub repo? Alternatively, ship a different README for the package? Alternatively, don't ship README.md at all? Not urgent of course.

That looks fine. The idea is that README.md should make sense wherever it is, not just on GitHub, and adding the url covers it I think.

Thanks! Weird that searching for labbe-material in the BL repo didn't show any results.

I have trouble with GitHub search too...
But the repo is listed here:

^ Yeah, I don't know how I missed it scrolling down. Random short attention span, I gue... SQUIRREL!

hhh · 2024-10-07 03:30:25

Tested labbe-material-icons. I'm not loving the variance in the Home folder icons (overlays on Documents, Downloads, Pictures, etc...) but otherwise it's fine. Music should be an eighth note (or two), not a quarter note, Documents shouldn't be large while Templates is small, Downloads looks a little too large... Compare it with Yaru to see what I mean...

Wonderfully light, though, and I love the gradient on the top of the folder icons. Let's use it.

johnraff · 2024-10-07 06:08:03

^Maybe Micko01 can tweak it for us?

micko01 · 2024-10-07 06:26:48

^already have - yet to commit, but can soon.

There's plenty of scope for more icons/symlinks too. Just add suggestions, doesn't take long to knock up a quick icon. Can take a while for more complex icons though.

johnraff · 2024-10-07 06:29:31

Leaving this topic to @Micko01 and @hhh...

I really like that 'Yaru Dark Sage' theme guys. Will it install OK on Boron? Is there a theme folder I can get, or do I need to install the .deb?

johnraff · 2024-10-10 09:46:01

^Install the deb is the easiest way.

Thank you.

johnraff · 2024-10-11 08:16:12

I've split off the gnarly discussion of packaging the Yaru themes here:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=9189

@hhh please join in. I might like to ask your permission in a few days to make some small changes in the debian/directory, like control, changelog and copyright.

(Basically, the package builds fine.)

Oh, is everyone getting those darker highlight bars under text with yaru-bark-dark GTK3 theme in thunar when the window is unfocused? (could be a labwc/wayland issue)

Well it's an Adwaita bug but it only rears it's head in Thunar

I just built and installed bunsen-yaru-gtk on that old HP lappy (still the orig bunsen-wayland install) and I get exactly the same bug! May even be a Thunar bug because PCManFM is fine. Happens in dark Adwaita and Yaru (which based directly off Adwaita) but not other dark themes I have. Weird.

johnraff · 2024-11-06 07:16:22

Carbon VM, with provisional version (pending light themes from @hhh) of bunsen-yaru-gtk, theme set to bunsen-yaru-bark-dark. Logging in with LightDM.

On Xorg:

(no dark underbars)

On Wayland:
Sorry, but can you tell me how to change GTK theme on Carbon Wayland?
lxappearance segfaults, and even Thunar has to be killed before I can start it up...

Maybe things will work better using greetd to log in. I have a VM using greetd which I'll try tomorrow.

I haven't been devoting much time lately to Wayland I'm afraid.
