[SOLVED] Gnome Theme

#1 Post by phen0m »

Hello Everyone!

I'm having an issue while installing a theme on Debian 8 + Gnome DE. To be more precise, this is the theme I am talking about:

https://www.gnome-look.org/content/show ... ent=175837

And I could found a video about this theme as well:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVVjtrobHvs

Pretty cool right? So, I tried multiple times to install this, followed step by step all the instructions given on READ ME file, but somehow it fails. Maybe I am doing something wrong, because those instructions are not so clear to me at a certain point. Also, tried to contact the author without any success.

If you like this theme, and if you think it's ok to try on yourself, I appreciate that! :wink:

Thanks for your patience,
phen0m

What are the error messages that appear?

Hello Ardouos! After copied everything like it says on instructions, and choosing everything I want with TweakTool, a splash screen appears with something like: "Oh no! Something went wrong". And then, on Extensions tab, I can see that UserThemes is set to OFF. If I activate it again, the screen will come. =(

That theme is suitable for gtk-3.20 only; Jessie uses gtk-3.14

I was thinking more of a terminal output. But from what I can see it is likely a GTK compatibility issue as fireExit said.

Hello fireExit! Thank you for your fast answer!

And can I/should I upgrade it? If yes...How could I safely do that to get this theme to work?

You can't upgrade the gtk stack without compromising the system's stability.

Best scenario for you is to pick a theme that is gtk-3.14 compatible.

I feel sad for that :( seems like I gotta wait for a Debian release that comes with gtk 3.20 version by default.
Meanwhile, I will search for a compatible theme instead!

Thank you for your time! Have a nice day fireExit :wink:

There will not be a Debian release with gtk 3.20. Debian 9 will use 3.22
