Decay GTK

Decay-Gtk

Welcome! This is the revamped decay port to GTK!

Notes

1. Decay-GTK is migrating to Gradience, which means that if you want gtk3 applications to be themed, you'll need to install adw-gtk3

2. Actually the whole decay colorscheme is going through a huge revamp, which also includes its ports, such as this one :)

Installation

This installation guide covers installing needed packages on an arch linux system but installation for those packages on others distros can be found quickly checking at the packages documentation or looking at your package manager available packages.

Installing required packages

Here's a description about them

• nwg-look or lxappearance: if you're going to try it in a wayland compositor, we recommend using nwg-look, and lxappearance for xorg environments.
• gradience: allows us to apply the theme in our applications.
• adw-gtk3: Gives legacy support for the theme (gtk3 basically).

You can execute a command such as this:

# replace nwg-look to lxappearance if needed
# gradience-git is needed for getting gnome shell support btw
yay -S gradience-git nwg-look adw-gtk3

You can use your AUR helper of preference.

Getting the presets

git clone https://github.com/decaycs/decay-gtk && cd decay-gtk
mkdir -pv ~/.config/presets/user && cp -rvf ./Themes/* ~/.config/presets/user

Note on flatpak users

If you wanna get your flatpak applications themed as well, you will have to install the adw-gtk3 flatpak & gradience too, and put the templates at ~/.var/app/com.github.GradienceTeam.Gradience.Devel/config/presets/ too!

cp -rvf ./Themes/* ~/.var/app/com.github.GradienceTeam.Gradience.Devel/config/presets

Applying the theme.

Please follow accordingly the next steps.

1. Open gradience, you'll see a welcome page, skip, skip, skip, yknow
2. At the overview of gradience, you'll see something similar to this:

3. At the toolbar, press the second icon, it will show a dropbox, Press at Manage Presets

4. Inside the gradience presets management popup, you'll see the themes we've installed before press at the checkmark icon on the theme you wanna apply on your system

5. Then go back to the overview, and press Apply at the top-left corner, you'll see a confirmation like the next one, turn on the checkboxes accordingly to add gtk3 support too by using adw-gtk3.

6. Now you can close gradience, open nwg-look or lxappearance, in UI they're pretty similar, so you'll see something similar to this in both nwg-look and lxappearance:

7. As you can see in the image, you'll have to enable the or adw-gtk3 or adw-gtk3-dark theme, both will have the decay theme applied in it :)

Getting gnome shell theming

If you want to get gnome shell theming support:

1. Go to the theming tab at gradience:

2. Press Apply in the Apply button for the Shell section.

Enjoy

We hope you enjoy with decay, please feel free to add a port or something you would want to have in our organization, you can join our discord to contact us! :)
