Description: This is an evolution (fork) from the already wonderful E17GTK theme by TSUJAN (https://www.pling.com/p/1013662/ and https://github.com/tsujan/E17gtk). It has some tweaks, here and there.
This theme fits very well with the default theme for the Enlightenment desktop. It also matches Kvantum's default theme. It's dark gray with blue accents, and non-flat (quite skeuomorphic). Checked buttons and progress bars are shiny and glossy blue. Disabled elements have black text. It's very easy on the eyes and also very usable. It includes a GTK2 theme too. It includes a GTK4 theme, although not tested with libadwaita yet.
I have this theme as a git so if you clone it, you can always pull the latest updates without having to download it again. For example, you can go to your ~/.themes folder and execute there git clone https://git.disroot.org/eudaimon/E17gtk-revolved.git Then you just need to go to ~/.themes/E17gtk-revolved and execute "git pull" each time you'd like to check for updates (not very often, I should say). You may also create a symbolic link in /usr/share/themes, so applications run as root (such as synaptic) can also appear correctly: sudo ln -s ~/.themes/E17gtk-revolved /usr/share/themes/E17gtk-revolved
I've decided to add an option to donate money: If I had enough time and income, I'd definitely dedicate much more time to this activity, which I enjoy very much. Thank you! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=9LW4UGMXG6CQW
xfwm4 theme derived from one created by pkfbcedkrz (https://www.pling.com/u/pkfbcedkrz). Many thanks!Last changelog:
Now for real: Cinnamon fixed!
I don't know how I tested it, but it wasn't really fixed. Now it is: Cinnamon users, enjoy it! (I mean, enjoy the GTK theme, sadly no Cinnamon yet!)
That's something I found some time ago, but couldn't figure how to fix. But thanks to your message, I've looked at it again, and have been able to fid the cause! So it should be fixed now, together with some improvements for some GTK4 apps.
Hi, I thought I had corrected, but a few days ago I discovered I hadn't. Now I do have corrected it (for my version, at least). Could you confirm it also works for you? Thanks!
Oh, and (sorry!) In Thunar 4.18, the black highlight color makes the icons completely disappear when they're selected. It looks a bit weird. Only affects Icon View and Compact View, not List View. Could a different highlight color be used instead, please?
Hi again! I've transparentized the black background for selected elements, so now icons are darkened, but not completely blackened. Now it looks definitely better to me, although this transparency applies to other elements for which it does not look so coherent, but I think it's a good trade off.
Hi there. The mystery inner borders in xfce4-terminal and gvim (gtk3 edition) visible in Simplewaita are also visible in E17gtk-revolved (but smaller ^^) Could they be hidden in fullscreen mode at least?
Yeah, same here, it's the notebook widget, but since in E17gtk-revolved they're not necessary, I've removed them now ;). You can download it again, or if you use it from git, pull it directly.
10You can test it out in Adwaita apps by running e.g. "GTK_THEME=E17gtk-revolved adwaita-1-demo". In fact, if the theme doesn't have variants, setting the environment variable for your session works globally (shame it's hard to manage it like that)
Hey, thanks for the tip, I didn't know it! Also, adding another variable makes it easier to debug: `GTK_THEME=E17gtk-revolved GTK_DEBUG=interactive adwaita-1-demo`. I can see it's already quite usable, but there are some rough edges which need to be taken care of.
Nestort, this is the best one so far. I use it as the base for a few of my own - I'm not a fan of that ugly dark grey (#xxxxxx). (I tried to post them here but can't figure out how, though that's not too important.)
10Finally a theme that works and does not look like a shitty gnome theme. (most of them are just recolouring of the flat bullshit non-effort kinda stuff... rather looks like windows 10= This theme though finally works out how it is done and brings the beauty of E17 to the otherwise dirt ugly gnome desktop.
[Unrelated] I thought this feed might be of interest to anyone hating flat themes that come in deep space black OR supernova white only: https://botsin.space/@osxthemes . Never mind about the platform, I miss that kind of variety. Thanks, @nestort, for keeping it interesting!
10Awesome update - thank you!
Two suggestions - the original icon set used with the E17gtk screenshot is available here: https://www.deviantart.com/tsujan/art/nouveGnome-301614547
And I have a made an alternate xfwm4 theme that more closely matches the E17 window theme for non-DPI displays: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yvXuhxgSK4J7KGPNwIe3nGfuNOtZxvap/view?usp=sharing
Please feel free to include my xfwm4 with your theme, if you'd like. The icon theme is also discontinued, but it is still quite up-to-date. It might be nice to host it outside of deviantart, though, for archival purposes.

haha, thanks! I like the space metaphors for this unfortunate (for me) trend in themes...
