Carbon Themes (proposal)

hhh · 2024-08-13 03:43:08

I've created a placeholder theme, so those using carbon can differentiate it from a boron install...

https://github.com/hhhorb/Carbon-themes/tree/main

Instructions:

We're talking about just including this color variant of Yaru (Yaru-bark-dark), but for now install the entire Yaru gtk and icon themes...

sudo install yaru-theme-gtk yaru-theme-icon

Download the repo (Code>Download ZIP).

~ Move the wallpaper to ~Pictures/wallpapers
~ Move Carbon-Yaru-dark.tintrc to ~/.config/tint2
~ Move Bl-Carbon-minimal-conky.conf to ~/.config/conky
~ Move the Yaru-bark-dark folder to ~/.themes
~ In Main Menu>User Settings>jgmenu>Edit Menu Settings, comment out line #22 (icon_theme=)

~ Set the themes (Yaru-bark-dark, etc...) and configs via the Main Menu>User Settings... Wallpapers, Tint2 Manager, Conky Manager, OB Conf and Notifications.

Logout and login to see all the changes.

I'm using Obconf margins of 10 for top, right and bottom, and 70 for left. tint2 panel margins (second value) may need to be adjusted for your screen resolution to match those margins.

See this thread for info on installing Carbon and for reporting issues...

gedit, which we've replaced Geany with as a text editor because Geany isn't in trixie yet, has a Yaru and Yaru-dark colorschemea, but they don't appear in Preferences at this time due to a bug, so I recommend using the Oblivion colorscheme (hamburger icon>Preferences>Fonts and Colors).

You can report issued with this theme and configs in this thread.

^ The Yaru themes are available in Debian Bookworm, so you can also install this on BL Boron.

Why gedit though?
Geany is pretty darned good as a programming editor, ranked 3rd at https://www.slant.co/ gedit is down at 22nd, my own pick scite is ranked 12, of the ones between 3 & 12 I also really really like Kate, only she pulls in way too much of KDE for company...

@hhh looks pretty good on carbon-wayland too

It's just temporary, so why not? It's fairly light and very functional.

sudo apt purge --autoremove gedit && sudo apt install scite

I'm glad y'all like the theming!

Bearded_Blunder · 2024-08-13 19:13:04

... It's fairly light and very functional.

So's scite, & even more functional if you add the project manager (separate package sciteproj), I'll just add scite, if I remove gedit it'll take the metapackage & I won't see updated versions.

It's just temporary, so why not?

We think / hope it's just temporary, there have been some pretty major packages left out of stable releases before because they didn't get bugs resolved in time, no phpmyadmin in buster springs to mind as just one, there have been others & lots of last minute scrambles to deal with it.

I can understand an arbitrary "Just throw the first substitute that springs to mind in as a temporary workaround" thing, but it might be worth taking a more serious look at the alternatives just in case the old proverb that "there's nothing so permanent as a temporary solution" ends up becoming applicable.

Wasn't income tax "only temporary until"?

^ Please open a new thread for this, and let's not bring income tax into it. I mentioned geany/gedit in this thread in regards to theming.

Bearded_Blunder · 2024-08-14 03:07:42

Why would I need a new thread? I've made the point & said all that needs saying, I've really nothing more to add, what I've said on the subject will either get acted on or not.

I'm not starting a text editor wars thread unless I've got rights to open it in TGN to begin with.

hhh · 2024-08-14 23:01:43

I've created and uploaded bunsen-themes-base_13.0-1.1_all.deb to GitHub. Now you can purge yaru-theme-gtk (and even bunsen-themes) if you want to save disk space/reduce clutter.

https://github.com/hhhorb/Carbon-themes

Click the file name>click 'View raw' or just use the direct link here...

https://github.com/hhhorb/Carbon-themes … .1_all.deb

Note that the Yaru themes in this deb package are truncated. They only include the GTK themes (no Unity, gnome-shell, cinnamon, etc...). Yaru-bark-dark is the only folder with an Openbox and xfce4-notifyd theme in it (so far).

If you install this, delete the Yaru folders from ~/.themes, they're redundant.

^ Cheers!

I've created a minimal Yaru icon package that just has Yaru-bark and it's dependency (Yaru)...

https://github.com/hhhorb/bunsen-yaru-icons/tree/main

You can now remove yaru-theme-icon...

sudo apt --purge remove yaru-icon-theme

... and install this to get a truncated version of yaru-theme-icon that only has Yaru and Yaru-bark (and the dark versions).

Download link...

https://github.com/hhhorb/bunsen-yaru-i … .1_all.deb

Set your icon theme to Yaru-bark-dark in lxappearance and logout (or pkill thunar).

hhh@carbon:~$ apt policy bunsen-yaru-icons
bunsen-yaru-icons:
  Installed: 1-1.1
  Candidate: 1-1.1
  Version table:
 *** 1-1.1 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I plan to create themes for a few more Yaru accent colors... sage, prussianGreen, viridian and magenta. I'll create new packages for those, probably bunsen-yaru-icons-extra and bunsen-themes-yaru-extra.

@hhh Great stuff!

Micko's screenshot looks really nice.

That wallpaper's sleek too.

I'll wrap some of the leftover bits in an updated Carbon bunsen-configs and add the wallpaper to bunsen-images-base, so people can easily see the provisional Carbon theming without pasting in individual files.

Man, I could easily imagine this becoming the default graphics stack...

^ Right, I was hoping you'd say that. Feel free to fork the repos and add them to the carbon meta-all package list (I'll upload the tar and dsc files for bunsen-themes-base either tonight or tomorrow).

No rounded bottom-corners in windows yet, though (gentle sarcasm). Boron picom.conf for the win.

@johnraff, files are uploaded, let me know if anything is missing or incorrect...

Yeah, so bunsen-themes-base that I created prevents yaru-theme-gtk from being installed...

Sending out an SOS.

-edit- Also, while I thought I had included it, gtk2-engines-murine does not get brought in by my theme package. Steep learning curve, this packaging stuff.

^Packages aren't allowed to overwite each others' files.

You can either give the clashing file/directory a different name in bunsen-themes-base (so you'll end up with two identical copies),
or prevent yaru-theme-gtk from being installed together with bunsen-themes-base with:

Conflicts: yaru-theme-gtk

in debian/control in bunsen-themes-base.

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-polic … -conflicts

hhh · 2024-08-17 05:15:01

Which do you recommend? I'm favoring the latter, because renaming Yaru and Yaru-bark seems silly. But conflicts is silly too, because it prevents Boron-aqua from coexisting with the Yaru suite.

Rename the folders to bl-Yaru*, move them out of bunsen-themes-base and create a new package, I guess?

The former then, and keep them in bunsen-themes-base for now.

^ As I'm doing with the icons, renaming them.
