Gnome Shell Themes compatible with MGSE
Hi. I've updated all my Gnome Shell themes to work with MGSE. So please check out my dA page -http://satya164.deviantart.com/gallery/33387415
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated

Re: Gnome Shell Themes compatible with MGSE
Hi satya, does that mean you've fixed how the mgse window list extension has its own colour styling now?
Your Minty theme is much better than Mint-Z, shame it wasn't selected as default

Re: Gnome Shell Themes compatible with MGSE
Yes, the extensions that are styled are, Bottom Panel, Window List and Mint Menu.bimsebasse wrote:Hi satya, does that mean you've fixed how the mgse window list extension has its own styling now?

Re: Gnome Shell Themes compatible with MGSE
Nice! I had just complained that the mgse extension updates meant that they wouldn't fit other themes, but you were already on it
Re: Gnome Shell Themes compatible with MGSE
Thanks Satya, I love Minty!!!
The update is wonderful, but there is a problem when using reflection extension (the one that moves the top panel to the bottom). As you can see at the screen capture, when a window is maximized, the bottom part of it keeps hidden behind the panel:
The previous version of Minty didn't have that problem.
Edited:
I found a workaround. Simply copy the contents of the new version gnome-shell.css file starting at the line that says /* Bottom Panel Extension */ and replace with it the contents starting at the same line in the old gnome-shell.css file. Now it looks perfect!!!:

Re: Gnome Shell Themes compatible with MGSE
Sorry for so much time. But finally I fixed the bug. Seems if a border is not specified for the panel, this happens. Please download from the dA page - http://satya164.deviantart.com/art/Gnom ... -268492415esteban1uy wrote:Thanks Satya, I love Minty!!!

Re: Gnome Shell Themes compatible with MGSE
Thanks for the fix. Is it by any chance possible to apply the same to Mint-Z theme?
Re: Gnome Shell Themes compatible with MGSE
Yes, I'm not finding anything about /* Bottom Panel Extension */ in any gnome-shell, Minty or else. Can you please be a little more specific?
Satya, I downloaded your theme today. Your changelog says you added a fix but it's still overlapping for me.

Re: Gnome Shell Themes compatible with MGSE
It is possible. But I don't think those commits will be accepted to the main theme. I have to make a mod probably.Monsta wrote:Thanks for the fix. Is it by any chance possible to apply the same to Mint-Z theme?
I don't get it! I cannot say about other themes, but all my Gnome Shell Themes fully support MGSE. There are styles for bottom panel, mint menu and window list, at the end of the gnome-shell.cssNathek wrote:Yes, I'm not finding anything about /* Bottom Panel Extension */ in any gnome-shell, Minty or else.

It will overlap if you manually re-size the window. But it won't overlap when you maximize a window, that's what has been fixed.Nathek wrote:Satya, I downloaded your theme today. Your changelog says you added a fix but it's still overlapping for me.

Can you give a hint about what changes should be made and in what file(s)?satya164 wrote:It is possible. But I don't think those commits will be accepted to the main theme. I have to make a mod probably.
Re: Gnome Shell Themes compatible with MGSE
I'm not quite sure which of the changes make it possible, but it fixes the issue. I cannot test because reverting one value makes the bug appear again and then cannot be fixed, weird!Monsta wrote:Can you give a hint about what changes should be made and in what file(s)?satya164 wrote:It is possible.

Now, you have to edit the file /usr/share/themes/Mint-Z/gnome-shell/gnome-shell.css
Look for,
#panel {
/* whatever */
}
and replace with
#panel {
color: rgba(255,255,255,1.0);
background-gradient-direction: vertical;
background-gradient-start: rgba(120,120,120,0.;
background-gradient-end: rgba(150,150,150,0.6);
border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.2);
box-shadow: 0 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.33);
border-top: 0;
border-left: 0;
border-right: 0;
font-size: 9pt;
font-weight: normal;
height: 2.1em;
}
beware, it will increase the panel height slightly and will give a little shadow, but if they are not there, it does not work.

Your themes are gorgeous!
Thank you for fixing them. I love Minty and Dark Shine.

Re: Gnome Shell Themes compatible with MGSE
Good news, I've uploaded them to a PPA, so that installing will be easier. Just add the PPA and install the theme you want.
Code: Select all
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:satyajit-happy/themes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-theme-minty
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-theme-dark-shine
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-theme-elegance
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-theme-aqua
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-theme-shine
sudo apt-get install ambiance-blue-theme
sudo apt-get install evolve-gtk-theme
Re: Gnome Shell Themes compatible with MGSE
You're a star, satya
To anyone browsing this not knowing exactly what is going on:
Minty is the best mint flavoured gnome shell theme, hands down, should've been the MGSE default theme.
Elegance and Dark Shine are two of the most well designed and beautiful non-Mint specific shell themes.
Evolve is, again, one of the best of the still very few Gnome 3.2 compatible window themes.

Re: Gnome Shell Themes compatible with MGSE
Well, looks like there's no need to copy and paste the whole block. I've found a simpler solution for Mint-Z theme.satya164 wrote:#panel {
color: rgba(255,255,255,1.0);
background-gradient-direction: vertical;
background-gradient-start: rgba(120,120,120,0.;
background-gradient-end: rgba(150,150,150,0.6);
border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.2);
box-shadow: 0 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.33);
border-top: 0;
border-left: 0;
border-right: 0;
font-size: 9pt;
font-weight: normal;
height: 2.1em;
}
beware, it will increase the panel height slightly and will give a little shadow, but if they are not there, it does not work.
1. Look at these lines in /usr/share/themes/Mint-Z/gnome-shell/gnome-shell.css.
In my Mint-Z version 1.1.4 it starts at line 373.
Code: Select all
#panel {
border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.2);
border-top: 0px;
border-left: 0px;
border-right: 0px;
Code: Select all
#panel {
border-top: 0px;
border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.2);
border-left: 0px;
border-right: 0px;
Now, as you probably have noticed, in this modified Mint-Z theme the "border" parameter goes after the "border-top" one, while in your Minty theme it's the other way around.
If anyone has an explanation of this phenomenon, I'd listen with pleasure.
Re: Gnome Shell Themes compatible with MGSE
Yeh, that's one weird behavior I cannot seem to understand.
