Features / Details / Instructions

• This theme is a minor fork for color of Adapta by Tista500, whom did nearly all the work. If you enjoy this thank him or her. Wonderful work in keeping the size down Tista.
• All mono black and white theme, lightweight.
• Use Adapta-Nokto for darkest look pictured, non-Nokto for a white and black theme.
• Use Sardi-Mono-Vertexed from the Sardi icons theme to get the icons
• Change your font in Gnome Tweak Tool to DejaVu Sans Book
• Firefox theme in screenshots is "Not Quite Black"
• The wallpaper is a photo of Lake Lucerne.

Quick Start for Ubuntu/Debian based distros

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential automake autoconf inkscape libcanberra-gtk-module libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev librsvg2-dev libxml2-utils pkg-config libsass0 sassc libnotify-bin
$ ./regen.sh

Installation from Git Source (for the `k version you need to install using this method, no built packages are available yet)

1. If previous versions were installed/existed, remove them first.

sudo rm -rf /usr/share/themes/{Adapta,Adapta-Eta,Adapta-Nokto,Adapta-Nokto-Eta}
rm -rf ~/.local/share/themes/{Adapta,Adapta-Eta,Adapta-Nokto,Adapta-Nokto-Eta}
rm -rf ~/.themes/{Adapta,Adapta-Eta,Adapta-Nokto,Adapta-Nokto-Eta}

2. Check build-requirements: Currently Adapta bundles neither pre-generated stylesheets nor PNG images. So users and/or contributors should generate proper CSSs, PNGs and gresources at build-time.

* autoconf
* automake
* inkscape                                  >= 0.91
* libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev (gdk-pixbuf2-devel)  >= 2.32.2
* libglib2.0-dev (glib2-devel)              >= 2.48.0
* librsvg2-dev (librsvg2-devel)             >= 2.40.13
* libsass0 (libsass)                        >= 3.3
* libxml2-utils (libxml2)
* pkg-config (pkgconfig)
* sassc                                     >= 3.3

Note:

• In OpenSUSE, add 3 extra dependencies:

  gdk-pixbuf-devel        >= 2.32.2
  gdk-pixbuf-loader-rsvg  >= 2.40.13
  librsvg-devel           >= 2.40.13
  

• Adapta employs SassC wrapper of libsass to generate CSS stylesheets.

• Adapta uses inkscape to generate installable PNG files.

• Adapta uses glib-compile-resources to compile the gresource files for Gtk+ and Gnome-Shell.

3. Build and install system-wide:

For building Adaptdark you can modify regen.sh with your own username/paths and run ./regen.sh in the project folder to do an entire build quickly and get a notification when it's finished.

If you are using the regen.sh file mentioned above you do not need to do the ./autogen.sh, make, and sudo make install mentioned below. I've (jayarc/adaptdark) added the regen.sh file as a shortcut to rebuild a theme after changes have been made. You can also not use regen.sh and just use the three commands below, it's an either or situation ;)

./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

Note:

• Default prefix is /usr.
• All 4 variants are installed by default.
• make generates proper CSSs and PNGs to be installed. It will take about 5min to 15min to build. For example, Ubuntu's build-server takes 10min.
• sudo make install installs multiple versioned theme and Gtk+ automatically selects the properly versioned one when running.

4. To speed up by using concurrency-build, pass this specific option to autogen.sh:

--enable-parallel       enable parallel-build support (type: bool)





Adapta strongly depends on Material Design resources, especially its **fonts**.

#### Typography
1. [**Noto Sans**](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Noto+Sans)
  - Noto (NO TOfu) sans-serif truetype/opentype font covers a lot of languages.
  - Developed by Google and Adobe.
  - Weight used in Adapta: 400, (500), 700

2. [**Roboto**](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto)
  - Very famous as the default truetype font in Android (English ver.).
  - Multilingual support is not good.
  - Weight used in Adapta: 400, 500, 700

> **Note:**
>
> * Roboto is very nice with Adapta, but in some locales, it causes Tofu.
> * NotoSans may work well in vairous locales, but NotoSans lacks 500 (Medium) weight. So elements defined with 500 will be drawn with 400 automatically.
> * NotoSans CJK supports 500 weight.

Adapta uses **NotoSans** as the primary font-family in Gnome-Shell and Cinnamon (Cantarell is for fallback).
In some distributions, users may need to install `fonts-noto-hinted`.

Adapta is designed with nominal **13px (or 14px)** Roboto font.
In Gnome, "window-scaling-factor = 1.0" means `-gtk-dpi = 96`, it also means:

13 [px] x 72 [pt/inch] / 96 [px/inch] = 9.75 [pt] 14 [px] x 72 [pt/inch] / 96 [px/inch] = 10.5 [pt]

That's the reason why `13.33px = 10pt` is used for rem/px conversion in Gtk+ 3.2x theming (In Gtk+ 3.18.x theming, em unit is directly used).

> **Note:**
>
> NotoSans CJK (ChineseJapaneseKorean) opentype fonts are actually **0.1em taller than Roboto fonts**, so if 10pt Roboto was suitable on your LCDs, set 9pt for NotoSans CJK families.

**Verify the fonts are rendered correctly via font-viewer tools like Gnome-Font-Viewer.**

> **Note:**
>
>   **Nokto** is a dark variant.
>
>   **Eta** is a tiny Gtk+ 2.x/3.2x Gtk+ widget variant for saving space.
>
>   * To enable global dark theme, you use proper tools like Gnome-Tweak-Tool.
>     Or add this porperty to `[Settings]` section of `$HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini`:
>
>     ```
>     [Settings]
>     gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=1
>     ```
>
>   * I suggest you use the Eta variants if your LCD resolution is lower than FHD (1080p). Eta draws widgets around -20% to -30% spacing.
>   * Metacity theming supports Eta variants (>= 3.20.x or 3.22.x).

Unsupported Gtk+ Based Desktop(s)
-------------------------------

> **Note:**
>
>   * Adapta does NOT support elementaryOS.

Note:

• This feature requires GNU parallel, so please add parallel to build-requirements. Parallel can execute multiple scripts and binaries to be suitable for multi-threading. It could especially shorten the rendering-time via inkscape.
• -jN option to be passed to GNU make is surely usable, but Adapta currently employs parallel.
• This feature should not be applied when packaging on remote/shared build-servers.

5. To disable some DE supports, pass these specific options to autogen.sh:

--disable-cinnamon      disable cinnamon support (type: bool)
--disable-flashback     disable flashback support (type: bool)
--disable-unity         disable unity support (type: bool)
--disable-xfce          disable xfce support (type: bool)
--disable-mate          disable mate support (type: bool)
--disable-openbox       disable openbox support (type: bool)

Note:

• The installer installs GNOME/Budgie-Desktop support even if all of options above were applied.
• Cinnamon/Unity/Mate support hooks metacity-1 directory even if GNOME-Flashback support was disabled.

6. To enable next Gtk+ release support, pass this option:

--enable-gtk_next      enable Gtk+ 4.0 support (type: bool)

7. To change the default 5 Key-Colors, pass these options:

--with-selection_color        Primary color for 'selected-items' (Default: #f5f5f5 = Cyan500, type: int)
--with-second_selection_color Primary color for 'select' effects (Default: #4DD0E1 = Cyan300, type: int)
--with-accent_color           Secondary color for notifications and OSDs (Default: #4DB6AC = Teal300, type: int)
--with-suggestion_color       Secondary color for 'suggested' buttons (Default: #009688 = Teal500, type: int)
--with-destruction_color      Tertiary color for 'destructive' buttons (Default: #FF5252 = RedA200, type: int)

Note:

• Color-codes are defined as # + 6-digit HEXs (Standard RGB definitions in HTML codes). Uppercases are strongly recommended in Adapta code-base.

• The Material Design Color Palette can be found here.

• Example: If you would like to use 'Teal500' as selection_color, use this:

  ./autogen.sh --with-selection_color=#009688 --with-second_selection_color=#4DB6AC

  This switchese the theme to almost Teal key colors.

• Basically selection_color and suggestion_color should use 500 colors, and second_selection_color and accent_color should use 300 colors.

• While doing make, Adapta changes those 5 colors in all stylesheets and images, and make clean cleans up all generated files from source directories.

• This feature unfortunately is not supported in Openbox-3 and Telegram 1.0 theming.

GtkSourceView/Gedit Color Scheme Support

A theme file adapta.xml is installed by default into Adapta(-Nokto)/gedit directory. See details in README.md.

Note:

• The color-scheme can be used in Gnome-Builder and Gedit if installed to ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles directory.
• Currently only dark-variant is supported.

Extra Browser Support

To try experimental browser specific theming, pass this option:

--enable-chrome         enable Chrome(ium) support (type: bool)

The compressed crx files will be installed into Adapta/chrome and Adapta-Nokto/chrome.

Note:

• Currently only Chrome(ium) theming is supported.

• Vivaldi can make custom themes via settings like these:

  Background: #FAFBFC (#363636)
  Foreground: #363636 (#E0E0E0)
  Highlight:  #f5f5f5
  Accent:     #424242
  Accent Color from Active Page: [ ]
  Apply Accent Color to Window:  [*]
  Transparent Tabs:              [*]
  Corner Rounding:               2px
  

Extra Dock Support

To try "Plank" theming, pass this option:

--enable-plank         enable Plank support (type: bool)

Then select Gtk+ via plank --preferences.

Note:

• Both Adapta and Adapta-Nokto shares the same theming.
• Don't expect too much. Plank is NOT a themeable widget for me!

Extra Compositor Support

Compton is the famous stand-alone compositor that works well with the Openbox window-manager. The installer installs recommended configuration file compton.conf into Adapta/openbox-3 directory if Openbox support is enabled.

Next, copy that file into ~/.config/ and restart compton to read the settings. That compositor still has some limitations in its features for Adapta, however.

Extra Telegram Support

To try "Telegram 1.0" theming, pass this option:

--enable-telegram      enable Telegram 1.0 support (type: bool)

The installer installs compressed tdesktop-theme files into Adapta/telegram and Adapta-Nokto/telegram directories if Telegram support is enabled. Then open the file via Telegram > Main Menu > Settings > Chat background > Choose from file.
