| License | GNU GPLv2 or later |
Images used. Currently only for GTK 4 check and radio buttons, as icon themes can't be used for them anymore.
- theme for GTK+ 2
- it should work in GTK+ 2.22 and later (and perhaps earlier)
- uses Mist engine
- taken from Arch Linux gtk-engines 2.21.0-1 package
- no functional changes so far (just reformatted to sane style)
- theme for GTK+ 3.8 to 3.18
- uses default gtk3 engine
- based on Mist-Redmond 1.2 (gtk3.8-theme_Mist-Redmond)
- goal is to match gtk2 version as closely as possible
- incomplete
- no longer maintained
- theme for GTK+ 3.20 through 3.24.x
- based on gtk-3.0, but highly extended
- theme for GTK 4
- based on gtk-3.20
GTK+ 2's theme engines already includes Mist so you'll likely not have to install it, but if you do it has to be in ~/.themes:
mkdir -p ~/.themes
cd ~/.themes
git clone https://github.com/keithbowes/gtk-theme-mist Mist
After that, you'll need to update ~/.gtkrc-2.0:
echo gtk-theme-name="Mist" >> ~/.gtkrc-2.0
For these versions, it's still possible to put themes in ~/.themes, but you'll most likely want to put user themes under ~/.local/share (or wherever $XDG_DATA_HOME points to) as you move away from the archaic GTK+ 2.x:
mkdir -p ${XDG_DATA_HOME:=~/.local/share}/themes
cd $XDG_DATA_HOME/themes
git clone https://github.com/keithbowes/gtk-theme-mist Mist
Next, you'll need to tell GTK to use Mist. If your system provides a settings-sharing mechanism, this involves updating gsettings:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "'Mist'"
Otherwise, you'll need to specify the theme in your settings.ini file; for example, for GTK 4:
mkdir -p ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:=~/.config}/gtk-4.0
echo gtk-theme-name=Mist >> $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-4.0/settings.ini
