GTK Theme, Orange-2, A Theme with Richer Color

#1 Post by Eathray »

Hi,

This is my first .pet package ever... a very fulfilling experience :P

Should work on anything with GTK-2... meaning Puppy 4x and on... I don't remember what Puppies 1x, 2x, and 3x have in them.

I built it in Fatdog64 520 b3. I had the the 64/32 bit compatibility .sfs mounted in Fatdog when I installed, but I don't think there's anything there that would cause a problem. Should work in pretty much any Puppy... but testers are welcome since this is my first dance with .pet building.

I made this theme pretty much for my taste... I don't really like a lot of themes. Most themes are blue/grey which gives me repulsive reminders of Windows, or black which is a little too radical for me, or jump out at me colorful like clear-looks which is a little frightening to me...

Hey, not trying to knock anybody's taste... just not for me, that's all.

Okay, so I'm going for just a richer feeling like Tudor colors maybe. Something that's kind of warm, cozy and comfortable. Just try it out, people. If you hate it, that's okay :lol:

If anyone likes it, I may try again...

Thanks,

Eathray

NOTE:

I should mention, in my example image, my GTK theme is mixed with the Openbox theme called Squadron... that accounts for any difference in the header.

INVITATION:

Feedback welcome... like I said... my first try. It creates a little anxiety wondering if anyone will like it or not :lol:

tested on puppy 4.12

Installed and appeared in the xfce4 theme chooser no problem.
Works just fine.

Nice colour balance...only comment would be to make the orange text a little darker for better contrast.

There ya go .... feedback :)

Awesome Mike,

Thanks for testing it out for me. Now I can say with confidence it works in 4x 32bit and 5x 64bit... That right there covers a huge compatibility range for Puppy.

If I could get some lucid/deb and slacky types to test as well...

That would tell me it's got broad compatibility.

Okay, thanks again.

Anyone else jump in...
