!!!MAINTENTANCE NOTICE!!!

This theme is unmaintained. The original Numix hasn't been updated since 2021 and will likely never receive a GTK4 theme port.

I have switched to Adw-GTK3 and Adw-Colors, as well as my own fork of Adwaita-Qt.

Installation Instructions

Release Archives

Infrequent releases are available pre-built for download on the Releases page.

Install them by copying the individual theme folders into /usr/share/themes/.

AUR

This theme is available on the Arch User Repository:

• gtk-theme-numix-solarized for release packages
• gtk-theme-numix-solarized-git for the latest commit of this repository

Building it yourself

For building this theme, you need the following programs:

• make
• sassc
• inkscape (0.9x or 1.x)
• glib-compile-resources from glib2

Then, run make THEME=$ThemeVariant install, where $ThemeVariant is the name (without extension) of one of the *.color files in this repository. Optionally, you can also provide a value for DESTDIR to specify an alternate installation directory.

Note: Make sure to not run make with additional threads, as the Makefile is not robust to being used with multiple threads. To be sure, you can replace make with make -j1.

Numix (original README)

Install It

Distro Packages

Distro	Install Command/Links
	sudo pacman -S numix-gtk-theme
	1 Click Install  |  OBS Repo
	sudo dnf install numix-gtk-theme
	sudo apt install numix-gtk-theme

Build It

First, you need to compile the theme using the Sass compiler.

You will need to install SassC (sassc) which is likely to be available as a package in your distribution's software repositories.

You'll also need the glib-compile-schemas and gdk-pixbuf-pixdata commands in your path to generate the gresource binary. Install them using your distribution's package manager.

Distro	Commands
	sudo pacman -S sassc glib2 gdk-pixbuf2
	sudo zypper install sassc glib2-devel gdk-pixbuf-devel
	sudo dnf install sassc glib2-devel gdk-pixbuf2-devel
	sudo apt-get install sassc libglib2.0-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libxml2-utils

After installing all the dependencies, change to the cloned directory and, run the following in Terminal,

sudo make install

To set the theme in GNOME, run the following commands in Terminal,

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "Numix"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme "Numix"

To set the theme in Xfce, run the following commands in Terminal,

xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName -s "Numix"
xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/theme -s "Numix"

In Openbox you can set the theme with ObConf tool. Alternatively, you can set the theme by changing the <name> key value to Numix in the <theme> section of your rc.xml file.

For contributors

Start by reviewing the guidelines for contributing.

For developers

If you want to hack on the theme, make sure you have the inotifywait command available, which is used for watching and automatically building the files.

To start watching for changes, run the following,

make watch

If you change any assets, you'll need to regenerate the gtk.gresource.xml and gtk.gresource files. You can use grrr to do it easily.

Requirements

GTK+ 3.18 or above
