GTK non-buggy dark theme (gnome 3.12)

Any recommendation for a good dark theme? The builtin dark adwaita doesn't do anything for GTK2. I have tried some other themes, but they all have a bug of some sort. For example, I tried DeLorean-dark-3.10, but it hides my background (I assume it's because I use gnome 3.12).
I'm not very picky: if I don't like the theme's color, i'm willing to change it myself. I'd just like to find a non-buggy dark theme to start from. Suggestions?

I compared some in this ol' thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=157147
I ended up with a slightly customized copy+paste hybrid of flatstudio and equinox since then. If you take a look at both themes and play around with them a bit, you should be able to adjust them to fit your needs almost perfectly.

Gnome-system-monitor (dark remix) 4 those using dark themes

hey fellow archers,
I'm a guy who digs dark themes, i am also someone who uses Gnome. Something that has irritated me for years is gnome-system-monitor ~ specifically, when using a dark theme. those white graphs (CPU graph), are just brutal. At work, i use CentOS on a couple of machines, while i don't use gnome with a server (obviously..lol) i have usedf CentOS with gnome before and had made note of the fact that it had a dark graph, and no ugly highlight bar in the 'system' tab, which was a little bit nicer on the eyes.
well, today i decided to fix the default colors for that graph, and i also decided to remove the stupid cairo-gradient that greets you in the 'system' tab. i did this because i prefer a nice graphic, over having a plain gnome logo, and a tacky gradient, it just doesn't need to be there.
here is what it looks like;
here is my gitorious branch where the sources are available;
git clone git://gitorious.org/gnome-system-monitor-blackgtk3/gnome-system-monitor-blackgtk3.git
you all use archlinux, so i need not explain how to compile it and this is gnome-system-monitor 3.1.4 (development) but i have not noticed any bugs whatsoever.
I am thinking of making a pkgbuild for AUR, that would pull from Gnome's git repo, and then apply a patch. Currently i have 2 roughed out patches (that work), but i have no experience writing patches, or even making pkgbuilds. if you are interested here is what i have got;

last note: My branch is only for the short term, until i get things sorted out. i also wanted to make the sources available to anyone, on any distro. so , it was easist to just quickly setup a branch, that anyone can pull from.

I spend way too much time both at work/home in front of a computer. dark is the way to go. so much more relaxed on the eyes.
Yes, i have (thought about putting it into AUR). in the short term it was just quicker to throw it up on my gitorious though. As i said above, i haven't really made too many patches, and i currently only maintain one package in AUR, so i have a little reading to do, first. that's also why i posted my patches. in case someone has something to point out, aside from the obvious thing - which is that i need to modify the first part of the patch, as i can ditch a 1st couple directories ...
Ideally, it will end up in AUR... But, i will probably also have my gitorious branch sync'd to gnome's branch, and i will create a patch using GIT to maintain my branch ~ so that people outside the Arch community, can have easy access too. plus, who knows, i may change around some other things as well. in the 3-4 hours i have been using this 'mod', i am way happier than with the upstream version.

Right on. Looking forward to further development. I will stay posted (subscribed to thread).

Dark theme and Graphite aren't required together-

Wow!
I do like this new iteration… And, given that a lot of things have gone "flat," I thought I'd try the Dark Theme! I liked it immediately. But (silly me?) I thought I'd needed to choose the Graphite Theme, first. Then, I got a little confused: A splash of color (the Spotlight icon…in Red, Yellow and Green) always kept me oriented: I always knew which window was active, awaiting input.
When I discovered my mistake, I thought I'd pass along my experience…

I'm probably not the best person to ask about the relative merits of ThemeDreamer because I don't think I am technically competent enough to work out how to use it...
...but since you asked!
For a person able to code in Wordpress, I imagine it might be more helpful. I understand it has lots of code prompts for the PHP that WP uses and I guess for those that can code this will be useful. I wasn't really able to get it going well enough and I'm a little uncertain still as to how to set it up. I might be misunderstanding how to do that but you are probably streets ahead of me there. As already said using my local testing server, Firefox and Firebug is a lot more intuitive and I think it will get me by.
As far as any other observations regarding ThemeDreamer, here’s what I’ve got.
1)     When you open index.php it renders in DW but only partially. There still seems to be a whole heap of yellow php icons in the page.
2)     To a non PHP coder it doesn’t help make sense of things
3)     There isn’t much documentation although again, it might be more self explanatory to people with knowledge of PHP/WP.
4)     There’s a reference in the properties panel that takes you to WP Codex for individual tags – which is probably better if you know what you are doing.
5)     There are code hints on the WP tags that might be helpful if ever I’m brave enough to interfere with that sort of thing!
6)     Overall, I think I’m saying it’s not much good for a novice or at least, not this one.
I wish it was more helpful, I really do.
Regards
Martin

Looking for an openbox dark theme...

Hi,
I am looking for a dark theme for Openbox , something thats as dark as Khali-Blue
Using DarkGraph atm but its kinda grey loooking
TIA
MrG

Maybe you can find something that fits your needs at Hewphoria, Boxwhore or mulberry's site.
If you fail to find something you may give gehtehkah or gehtehkah_tiny a try (both can be found at http://nooms.de/files/openbox/). They dynamically use the colors of your GTK+ theme. You need to patch Openbox for them to work or use openbox-svn from my repo which already has the gtkcolors patch applied.
Here's an example of what it looks like with a dark GTK+ theme:

Adjust Arch forum text with dark theme

I have written 2 greasemonkey scripts (these are usually helpful for people with dark themes):
- One that changes the subject box and buttons to white text
// ==UserScript==
// @name Arch Linux Dark Text Fix
// @description Displays dark text on an Arch Linux page.
// @include http://bbs.archlinux.org/post.php*
// @include http://bbs.archlinux.org/edit.php*
// ==/UserScript==
function addGlobalStyle(css) {
var head, style;
head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
if (!head) { return; }
style = document.createElement('style');
style.type = 'text/css';
style.innerHTML = css;
head.appendChild(style);
addGlobalStyle('input { color:white; }');
- One that changes the message box to black text
// ==UserScript==
// @name Arch Linux Light Text Fix
// @description Displays light text on an Arch Linux page.
// @include http://bbs.archlinux.org/post.php*
// @include http://bbs.archlinux.org/edit.php*
// ==/UserScript==
function addGlobalStyle(css) {
var head, style;
head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
if (!head) { return; }
style = document.createElement('style');
style.type = 'text/css';
style.innerHTML = css;
head.appendChild(style);
addGlobalStyle('textarea { color:black; }');
Save those into a text file with a .user.js extension and import them into greasemonkey.

Well, a screenshot wouldn't be of use, because the text is a very dim white, and you wouldn't even be able to see it. Just imagine what it looks like
But here it is anyway. If you look really closely you can see the text "This is white text".

HTML client dark theme loading

If you use the dark theme, the header area shows white for a few seconds until the page is fully loaded. I was unable to find where to alter this in order to have the background dark while the screen loads. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

Hi,
You can change the theme easily in the default.htm file.
Change light-theme.css and msls-light.css to dark-theme.css and msls-dark.css respectively to use the dark theme. Alternatively, you may replace light-theme.css with a custom jQuery Mobile theme.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Content/light-theme.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Content/msls-light.css" />
change above code to below:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Content/dark-theme.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Content/msls-dark.css" />

I have windows XP, just updated to the newest version and not none of my themes work. It's just all white for my tabs and tool bar. Very hard to see. I've reinstalled the themes and nothing works.
Any ideas?

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Where can i get a dark theme for itunes 11 mac

where can i get a dark theme for itunes 11 mac

If your phone is running iOS7 it requires iTunes 11 which in turn requires OS 10.6.8 or higher on the computer. You will probably need to upgrade your operating system version.
You can probably upgrade to Snow Leopard, but check system requirements first. Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present). Compare with:
Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
You can buy Snow Leopard at:
Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After installing run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.
Jan. 2014 post by Kappy on doing all this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24599931
An iDevice can only sync with one library at a time. If you attach it to a different library it will erase the content becfore syncing to that library. Unless your business is music I probably wouldn't sync to a work owned computer.

IOS - Dark Theme, or a Night-Time Mode

Hi,
I'm new to the forums here, so please bear with me.
I'm a long time Mac & iPhone user, but have been increasingly frustrated by the fact that Apple is not issuing a "Dark Theme" that is comparable to a night-time mode for iOS.
The current iOS 7.1 is lovely to look at and use; it's so simple and elegant in its interface, but it is also exceedingly bright. There is a tremendous increase in the overall brightness of the interface, and at times it can be quite glaring in the eyes.
Turning the phone on in a darkened environment (yes, there are practical times for doing this!) is like having a 200 W halogen lamp ignite the room.
There is one feature that is in Settings that "inverts colours", but honestly it's completely ridiculous having it there as it mangles your wallpaper, turns all green icons orange, all blue ones red, etc etc, it's like looking at a negative film from an old camera. It doesn't look like iOS 7.1. It looks like someone has played around in Photoshop and decided to splash diametrically opposite colours on every single icon, picture and background.
Rather than this completely impractical mangling of colours would it not be simpler to have a "night-mode" where all the whites of the backgrounds are converted to a dark colour, and the dark fonts turned to white?

I don't understand. The link up at the top says that I'm in the iPhone forum.

Someone requested that your post be moved and the Hosts moved it to the correct forum.
As to why Apple doesn't include such a feature (one I've never noticed in other smart phones, either), only Apple would know.

Dark theme in Linux screws up Firefox 4.0, help with userContent.css file

OS: Fedora 14 x86_64 / Gnome 2.3x
Problem with: Firefox 4.0
Using dark gtk themes changes the background color of common form controls (input boxes, text boxes, radio buttons, etc...) into the same dark color used in the theme, so you end up with dark controls with black text, which makes them unreadable.
While searching I found that there's a way to make Firefox override the system colors, and that is by creating a userContent.cs file.
Here's the userContent.css file:
===========================
body {
background-attachment: scroll !important;
input {
border: 2px inset white;
background-color: white;
color: black;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
textarea {
border: 2px inset white;
background-color: white;
color: black;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
select {
border: 2px inset white;
background-color: white;
color: black;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
input[type="radio"],
input[type="checkbox"] {
border: 2px inset white ! important;
background-color: white ! important;
color: ThreeDFace ! important;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
.*|*::-moz-radio {
background-color: white;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
button,
input[type="reset"],
input[type="button"],
input[type="submit"] {
border: 2px outset white;
background-color: #eeeeee;
color: black;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
body {
background-color: white;
color: black;
display: block;
margin: 8px;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
===========================
This css code fixes text boxes, input boxes, etc... but I still have dark radio buttons, dark check boxes, and dark drop down menus, does anyone know what might be causing this problem?
Examples:

FWIW, an alternative to going back to a light theme for whatever reason: there is a theme with several variations called "Shiki-Colors", in which only half of the stuff is dark.

Dark theme

Hi,
I am looking for a dark gtk theme currently using LiNsta3 in gnome but gtk apps look a bit dull ....
thanks

Divinorum
AuroraMidnight (Comes in the aurora AUR package)
MurrinaBlack
Cobra (Same author as Divinorum, multiple colours)
GSM
Neutronium-Gilouche
Neutronium-DeepBlack
Mire v2
In my opinion these are the best of the current lot. Which I'm using depends on the monitor.

GTK non-buggy dark theme (gnome 3.12)
