Hi thanks for reporting this. But sorry, I don't seem to see this issue with Thunar 4.17 or 4.18. Would you be able to maybe post a screenshot and let me know what version of Thunar you're using? Thanks. - Apr 11 2023

Sorry, no, the 17.04 version is from 2017. The git hasn't been updated in a while, sorry, I need to fix that. Please use the latest version uploaded here, 21.12. - Dec 23 2021

Thank you! You can edit the Gtk theme if you go into the victory theme folder, the gtk-3.20 folder, and edit the gtk.css. That file holds all the colors and I tried to make it to where if you change a color there it will change everywhere. So you can darken the grays or borders or anything!

After editing, save it, and unselect/reselect the theme and you should see the changes! - Jul 18 2021

Sorry for the very late response. I tried to fix this in the 19.10 update. After starting Vala Panel and setting the theme then logging out and in again it seemed to work fine. But if you still use this theme and still have that issue let me know - Dec 15 2019

Victory Icon Theme

Full Icon Themes by newhoa 28 comments

I'm sorry. I might need to make a note about Gnome on the next update. Gnome uses different icons and sizes than most desktops. This theme was made primarily for XFCE, LXDE/QT, it should work well with Mint, MATE, and maybe Solus. But Gnome uses larger icons all around which is probably why some are blurry. And I have not been able to add very many app icons so not many of those will change. I will not be able to add a lot of app icons, as there are an endless amount of apps and I can only do so much (and interface/file icons take priority). If you need more app icons but like the other Victory icons I suggest finding another icon theme with app icons you like and replacing the app icon folder in the Victory icon folder with the one you like. As far as interface and file icons, they should all change in Gnome. I've tried to make it Gnome compatible and am working on larger sizes to fix the blurriness and make things look nicer for hidpi desktops. If you find interface and file icons not changing in Gnome please let me know which ones. Thanks. - Jul 27 2018

Thanks. As far as app icons, I haven't been able to spend much time on those. A full icon theme is tough to complete and maintain, and there are a lot of functional icons that I need to work on as priority. App icons are unlimited and I'm not able to make a new icon for every app. I try to add a few more every once in a while but what I'd really recommend is finding another icon theme with app icons you like and replacing the apps folder in the Victory icon theme with the apps folder of another icon theme (or editing the index.theme file and changing the inherets= line to another icon theme you have installed that you like. This will fill in missing icons that aren't in the Victory theme yet with another theme. Sorry about that. Papirus, Arc, and Boston icon themes blend in pretty well with the Victory theme. But if you or anyone reading is interested, I will consider any and all submissions for missing app icons on the git site. - Jul 27 2018

GTK3/4 Themes by newhoa 31 comments

The theme for 18.04 was largely rewritten and I haven't been able to finish remaking the darker themes just yet (and also I'm migrating away from github where it was originally so my git situation is a little behind). I'm actually not sure how to handle darker sections now. With 17.04 it mostly only affected Gtk2 windows and Gtk3 windows with Menubars. But most Gtk3 apps are switching to CSD Headerbars and the dark window borders look very out of place with those. So I'll either have to find a way to make that look nice or just focus on the light base theme. - Jul 27 2018

In that picture I'm just using the default Victory Gtk Theme. I'm using Thunar. You can hide the menubar with Cltr+M or under View uncheck the Menubar. For the sidebar, you can right click on a title (Places, Devices, Network, etc) and select which icons to hide or show. Hope that helps! - Jan 22 2018

I'm really not sure why this would happen. Can you change the wallpaper after the theme is applied? And does it happen with any other themes that you know of? I don't use Cinnamon so maybe you could ask on the Mint forums because I really don't know how to troubleshoot that. If you find any more info let me know, meanwhile I'll take a look at it next time I work on it. Thanks! - Sep 06 2017

Hi, I made this theme using Gtk3.2, and they've made changes in Gtk3.4 which causes some problems with this theme.

I've updated the theme to fix the white text problem. Please delete the theme you downloaded, and try downloading this new update.

Please let me know if it fixes the white text problem! - May 13 2012

Victory Gtk Theme

GTK2 Themes by newhoa 248 comments

Thank you! I'm glad you like it! English was good, and thank you for the pictures!

I made this using Gnome 3.2, but Ubuntu 12.04 uses Gnome 3.4, and they made some theme changes. Here is a quick fix for the white text:

1.) Open /home/YOURNAME/.themes/Victory/gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets.css
2.) Go to the very bottom, and add this:

Quote:
GtkWindow
{
color: @fg_color;
}

GtkWindow .cell:selected
{
color: @selected_fg_color;
}

After you add that to the bottom, save it, and log out and back in. It should work!

Let me know if you have any more problems! I've been working some on the theme, and hopefully will update it in the next month to fix a lot of these problems.

Okay, thanks. Guess I'll have to work on this over the next month or so.

The worse problem for me was all the text turning white, which made it unusable. Here's a rough temporary fix for anyone interested...

Add this to the bottom of the ~/.themes/Victory/gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets.css:

Quote:
GtkWindow
{
color: @fg_color;
}

GtkWindow .cell:selected
{
color: @selected_fg_color;
}

Still a lot to fix, but that should solve the white text problem for now, anyway.

Hey thanks a lot for the update, glad it's all there. Ubuntu seems to not like working well with a lot of things lately... it's pretty annoying (to say the least). Wonder if it's something they plan on fixing before release? Or with the way Ubuntu is going lately, if I can even do anything about it on my end. Guess I'll go ahead and download the latest (Beta?) just to see what's going on.

Are there any Gtk3 themes that do work well with it? - Mar 18 2012

Sure, here are is what I was using for that:

Window Border - Simple eGtk

Wallpaper - one of these (I think it was a mod):

Icons - Moblin
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Moblin+Unofficial+Icons?content=137740

The moblin icons I was using were in the Ubuntu repositories. It was made for netbooks, so some of the icons don't look so good on the Desktop.

Other than that, I simply changed the sidebar color to the red color, and the tooltip color (and maybe background color) to match the window border.

Hope that helps!

Now that I think about it, for the panel... maybe you can take the Ubuntu themes panel image from that folder (/usr/share/themes/) and replace the image in my theme folder... as long as it has the same name, it may work.

For the window borders... the default light one does come with a borderless version. Just check in the Appearance Properties > Customize > Window border. The dark one doesn't have a borderless version.

But I think you can make any window border borderless by editing the metacity xml folder. At the top under frame geometry, you can adjust the right_width and left_width.

Let me know if this helps.

Victory Gtk Theme

GTK2 Themes by newhoa 248 comments

Hey, thanks, and glad you like it.

Are you talking about the default Ubuntu 11.04 theme for the Unity topbar? If so, there's no line you can remove from my theme to make it go back to the old way... each theme has to define its own style. So the Ubuntu theme has its own panel style, and if other themes don't, it just falls back to not themed. So the only way to get the exact same panel would be to take the panel parts of the Ubuntu theme and replace the panel parts in mine.

Try this and see if it works better, though...

In the gtkrc file (/home/yourname/.themes/Victory/gtk-2.0), go to the very bottom. There is a section called "Options". You'll see 1) Panels with a list of include lines. Comment out (put a # in front of) all of those lines except for 1b, or 1a - only do one of these at a time. So it should look like:

Quote:#include "extras/panel-dark-murrine.rc"
include "extras/panel-dark-pixmap.rc"
#include "extras/panel-medium-pixmap-top.rc"
#include "extras/panel-medium-pixmap-bottom.rc"

#include "extras/unity-window-border-blend.rc"
#include "extras/unity-window-border-blend.rc"
Then switch to a different theme, and then back to the Victory theme (or log out and back in) to see the change.

Both of those options are for a darker topbar... one flat (1a) and one with a gradient (1b) - 1b, the gradient/pixmap one, should look closer to the default Ubuntu theme.

If you like that, you might also want to switch to the dark Victory window border - it's just the default Ubuntu border with different buttons - or just switch back to the default Ubuntu border now that I think about it - I guess it just depends on if you want different buttons, ha. If you do this, be sure to also change the tooltip_bg color to #3c3b37 either in gnome-appearance-properties, or at the VERY top of the gtkrc file. The will change the menubar colors (and firefox tab bar color) in windows to match the window border.

Anyway... sorry. I wish this was easier, but hopefully this will get you closer to something you like.

Let me know if you need help with any of this.

Well, I'm glad you figured it out. I was afraid I didn't explain it well enough.

Victory Gtk Theme

GTK2 Themes by newhoa 248 comments

Ok, that means the Victory theme isn't in your root theme folder, or it's not linked.

Try sudo nautilus. Then go to your home directory (/home/yourname/). Click View hidden files, and find the ".themes" folder.

Right click on it and click "Make Link"

Now put that link in the /root folder, and make sure it's named ".themes".

After that you should see it after you do sudo gnome-appearance-preferences.

If that doesn't work, I don't know why, and I'm not sure what else to do. I don't know what all the options/menu names are in Italian, but I hope I explained this well enough.

Let me know.

- Darin - Jun 16 2011

Victory Gtk Theme

GTK2 Themes by newhoa 248 comments

Hmmm... are you using Gnome 2? Maybe you have to select it as root. Try in the terminal:

Quote:sudo gnome-appearance-properties

Then try selecting the theme, and see if that works.

Thanks for the compliment, glad you like it.

GTK2 Themes by newhoa 248 comments

Hey, thanks a lot! Both for the comment and the vote! I'm glad it's working good in Xubuntu - it's the first time I'd put that much into XFCE theming, and I wasn't sure I tested it well enough - I tested it on Xubuntu 10.10 and 11.04, but didn't get to check it on 10.04.

For LibreOffice/OpenOffice - I think I forgot to change one part of the gtkrc. Try this and see if it works:

In the gtkrc (/home/yourname/.themes/Victory/gtk-2.0/gtkrc), find the section:

Quote:style "scrollbar"
Under that, you will see four has-stepper entries. They should all be 0 except has-forward-stepper, which should be 1, and stepper-size should be 1. So it should look like this:

Quote:style "scrollbar"
{
GtkScrollbar:: has-backward-stepper = 0
GtkScrollbar:: has-forward-stepper = 1
GtkScrollbar:: has-secondary-backward-stepper = 0
GtkScrollbar:: has-secondary-forward-stepper = 0
GtkRange:: trough-under-steppers = 0
GtkRange:: stepper-size = 1
GtkRange:: arrow-scaling = 0.45

After that, close LibreOffice/OpenOffice and open it again to see if it works. You may have to log out and back in again - sometimes it's weird like that.

I hope I explained this well enough. Let me know how it works or if you have any other problems!

Thanks again!

Victory Gtk Theme

GTK2 Themes by newhoa 248 comments

Thanks for the compliments, and glad you like it!

By default, the panel is forced to use images. But if you open the gtkrc (/home/yournamehere/.themes/Victory/gtk-2.0/gtkrc) you can change it.

Go down to the bottom of the gtkrc and you'll see a part that says "Options". You can choose from 3 different panel types: Dark with images (default), or a Dark or Light that you can change the colors of. The dark panels have light text, and the light panel has dark text if that matters to you.

Under Options, you will find:
Quote:1) Dark Panels

include "extras/darkpanel.rc"
#include "extras/darkpanelmurrine.rc"
If you put a # in front of both, it will give you a light panel. If you put a # in front of the darkpanel.rc line, and take the # away from the darkpanelmurrine.rc line, it will give you a dark panel with colors you can change.

Make the changes, save, and then switch from the Victory theme, to another theme, and then back, and you should see the changes.

After this, you can right click on the panel and go to Properties>Background and change the color, there.

Or you can use gnome-color-chooser (available in most repositories), which can change all the colors of the panels - along with tons of other color and icon tweaks for Gnome. It's really nice.

I wasn't sure if I should include the 'image' panel by default... I didn't want to make it too complicated! Sorry for the confusion, and if you need more help or if I didn't explain it well enough, just let me know! Thanks!

Victory Gtk Theme

GTK2 Themes by newhoa 248 comments

Oh yeah... that's something I meant to fix the last couple times and forgot all about! Good catch.

Under:
Quote:style "combobox" = "button"
you'll see
Quote:engine "murrine"
add these lines under where it says comboboxstyle:
Quote: glow_shade = 1.0
glowstyle = 2

The glow behind the buttons is intentional - it happens when it's a light theme too, but it's less noticable. If you want to change it find:
Quote:style "toolbarbutton-prelight"
and under engine "murrine" change the glow_shade from 20.0 to 2.0 or whatever you want.

Hope this helps. Thanks!

Hey, thanks! Glad you like it.

Luckily that can be fixed pretty easily. It's because the theme doesn't install as root. You can do it in nautilus by running gksu nautilus and making a link to your /home/yourname/.themes folder, and putting it in the /root folder. Or just do it in the terminal:

1.) Open terminal and type:
2.) sudo mv /root/.themes /root/.themesold
3.) Hit enter, then type:
4.) sudo ln -s ~/.themes /root
5.) Hit enter

Step 2 may give an error if the /root directory doesn't have a .themes folder. Just ignore it and move on to Step 4.

-----------

Anyway, let me know if that works.
