Adwaita with Unity 8 colours

This looks really, really nice. Love it!

Alright, the first prototype of the icons will be up soon! What do you guy’s think? I think it’s actually really close to the feel of the suru icons … I like it and the edits that have been done to the icons are only in one file, so this will be very simple to maintain!

This really should be the alternative to Humanity-Icons if Suru will not make it in time for 18.04!

I look great, are they going to be more complete? Adwaita icons have icons that do not recognize all of them.

What exactly do you mean? All that has been changed are the folder icons, the rest is inherited from Upstream Adwaita

Yay, it works! The cloning and compilation of the theme takes a lot more time than you might expect, so please be patient while it does that …
So, here is the repository: https://github.com/pojntfx/adwaita-icon-theme!
Be sure to turn of Night Light/Redshift in System Settings etc., otherwise the colors could be different from what you might expect!
Some screenshots:
First of all, Ambiance and it’s icons for comparison:

Second, Adwaita-GTK-Ubuntu and Adwaita-Icons-Ubuntu:

On the subject of the shell theme: Ubuntu 17.10 comes with a near stock Adwaita shell theme that people really seemed to like (Especially the transparency!). I do actually not think we have to do any changes to it if the colors would be orange, and if they would be blue it would also be very simple as the _colors.scss file is the only thing that would need to be changed - it’s nearly the same as in Adwaita-GTK-Ubuntu! Forking Adwaita however would be a simple thing as well - I don’t like Ambiance’s headerbar to much :wink:
What do you guys think?

The Shell Theme similar to the vanilla gnome, in place of the blue use the orange and instead of the graphite gray use black, is next to the Unity 8.

In the Adwaita icons, some generic icons appear in some applications and at the time of installing codecs, but this is not a big problem, anyway
its icons looked very good.

Alright, I’ll look into this, thank’s for pointing it out!
Just moved to a new repository as well, I’ve rewritten most of it, it’s really, really “clean” now. And I’ve got the GTK2 Theme to work!

It’s in the new repo now! I did just rewrite the README, it should be a lot more friendly now. I would now call this theme “nearly done”, I’ll refactor the icon theme tomorrow and then we can start on the GNOME Shell theme - should be even easier since there is no GTK2 to worry about :wink:

Two screenshots of LibreOffice with the new theme (Edits are very minimal to barely noticeable - it’s just implemented in a much cleaner way):

I love the look of the updated theme and icons. The orange is much more vibrant and alive compared to the old faded look.

I could not install the icon-theme. This is the right repository? https://github.com/pojntfx/adwaita-gtk-ubuntu

That’s just the GTK theme, the icon theme is over at https://github.com/pojntfx/adwaita-icon-theme :wink:
@jasonflindt @dean-che Thanks a lot, I’ll continue development on the theme soon (right now, my Ubuntu install is broken - I am going to install Bionic now …)!

How has your re-intallation gone ?

Just finished yesterday - sorry for not being able to work, had to restore all my data from a really slow hdd. I’m on Bionic now and I’m just installing Ubports on it to get a better feeling for everything.

Alright, I’m unable to import my OpenPGP key. Since yesterday I alway’s get the following error:

Timeout error

Sorry, something just went wrong in Launchpad.

We’ve recorded what happened, and we’ll fix it as soon as possible. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Trying again in a couple of minutes might work.

(Error ID: OOPS-177649655666d782b6920c8822efd7cc)

Can somebody help me here? Or is it possible to package this theme as a snap/flatpak?

Now it worked. Retried it ~25 times … reported it to the bugtracker. Weird. I’ll get to work now - Have been busy working on https://github.com/irasync/irasync-frontend-web :wink:
