Description: Fork of the original Adwaita theme. Light theme with dark menus and header-bars and green color accents. Includes a Gnome- and Cinnamon-shell-theme. Designed to combine with Jade Icon Theme. Primary developed for use on Linux Mint.
The theme was tested under: * Cinnamon (Linux Mint) --primary * GNOME (Fedora)
Available on Flathub: org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Jade-1 org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Jade-1-(color)
Icon Pack is available here: https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1169254/Last changelog:
I really love this theme. My preferred desktop is XFCE and it's nice here, almost like the Prof Gnome theme or PRO but better colors! :)
If there's one shortcuming of all these themes, except for PRO, is that the window controls are not clear until a mouseover event. I know that sounds picky, but as I get older and more confused it's easier to have window controls being blatantly obvious.
This might just be me, so I'm going to give you an 8 because I really to love the coloring and configuration. Even if we are borrowing from Adwaita. :)
Noticed a slight bug in LibreOffice writer. On a big document of 37 pages the scrollbar becomes so tiny, it's invisible. This isn't a problem on other themes.
Following your answer below, I renamed ~/.themes/Jade-1-Teal/gtk-3.20/gtk-dark.css to gtk.css and voila, permanent dark mode. Not sure if this is the right way. The headerbar, titlebar, and buttons in this theme seems really big. It would be really wonderful if you can make a compact version.
Oh, if you're looking for a completely dark theme, I'd recommend using Obsidian-2 instead:
https://www.pling.com/p/1173113/
It shares the same codebase with Jade-1 and comes with the same color accents. The dark mode inside Jade-1 is an exact copy of Obsidian-2.
I used a bash-script to copy the new/changed files from the default theme into each accent/subtheme. So the timestamp may still be the one of the spring-release, but the changes are there :-) Look for files named "gtk-dark.css".
Yes, these are permanent links which I haven't touched for years. They are pointing at the latest Github-Commit. So you can always get the brand new versions from there.
Dark mode is the ability for certain applications to look dark without using a dark theme. It makes it possible for only some applications to be dark and for the rest of the apps to remain light. So you'll not find another subtheme. The dark mode is inside the existing ones.
I'm using this on Cinnamon and I've noticed an issue that my desktop icons become kinda transparent. It might not be very obvious on the first glance, but put it over a wallpaper with a lot of detail, and it's really noticeable. To see the effect also you need to reboot or relogin after selecting the theme. I've found out that the issue is specifically somewhere in the GTK element (aka Window Controls). Is there a way to fix this?
Is there a way to remove the border on the sides and bottoms of the windows? It's not really an aesthetical issue for me, it's just it would make it easier to grab the slider, when necessary. Because you'd be able to just move your cursor to the very edge of the screen, not having to aim it as much.

Hey man, is it possible that you could do a slim version at some point? These titlebars are huge as hell
10 Probably the best theme on Cinnamon. There is really no competition.
Running "nemo -q" in a terminal results in: Gtk-WARNING **: 17:50:39.900: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:2911:9: 'width' is not a valid property name

Fabulous. Have you noticed a slight background change when you open settings? It goes from white to grey just as it opens?

10 Very nice thanks. Changelog for 1.14 says "added dark mode" : where is it?
Good catch! The files inside the archive are dated may 15, so it's the old version it seems.
Note: my comment was about the Blue variant.

Ok, thanks Max. Not obvious, as even when you look at the file listing on the Files tab, the oldest archive is dated november 2019.

Gnome 40/gtk4 pleae!! Not having your themes updated is the only thing keeping me from switching to Gnome 40.
And here it is. Feel free to upgrade :-)
What the hell took so long??? :D Thank you VERY much. Looks great, as always.
