Description: Ceti-2 is a theme for GTK 3, GTK 2 and Gnome-Shell. It supports GTK 3 and GTK 2 based desktop environments like Gnome, Unity, Budgie, Pantheon, etc.
Ceti-2 is the official continuation of Ceti for Gnome 3.14 and 3.16. It has been completely revamped and is now based on Vertex.
Installation All installation instructions are available at
2015-04-19 Rename the theme to Ceti-2 Port the theme to Sass Add Unity, Xfce and Mate support Add Gnome 3.16 support Revamped Gnome-Shell theme Migrate the project to autotools
2015-04-25 Fix gnome-shell crashes on non-accelerated systems Make gala-notifications light (except in the dark theme) Bugfixes
I use this theme on every desktop (by the way, huge thanks for the excellent work) but recently I upgraded to Gnome 3.20 (comes with the latest Fedora): from source it just does not compile so I tried the rpm which gets installed but the gtk theme looks just bad.
Any chance Ceti2 will be upgraded to run on more recent Gnome/gtk? Is there a way to adapt the current theme version to run on Gnome 3.20?
Thanks
Hi, somebody already asked that question which was not answered by the way. So I'd like to ask one more time and another question which is if infinality is used. If it's used, could the infinality settings be shared?
Thanks.
There is also bug with your theme(disappearing of menu) even with your default theme:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5QFn4fmB-7nUWdMcERUNi1Lc2s/view?usp=sharing
It is on Debian 8, 64 bit, Gnome 3.14.1
I have a visual problem with Nautilus on Arch Gnome 3.18, by the way Vertex is ok.

Hello,
I enjoyed your fantastic Vertex Theme for several months and now try the Ceti 2 Theme. Looks also superb - thanks for you work.
But there seems to be a bug - if you would mind to take a look https://www.dropbox.com/s/2nw2ckghj2j9neg/Bildschirmfoto%20vom%202015-09-19%2022%3A36%3A02.png?dl=0
Hey! Man, you really have a talent! Your themes are awesome! I love Vertex and I'm trying Ceti-2 now. Looks great! I think it's about 8-10 years that I download my themes from Gnome-Look.org and I have never found themes that liked so much as yours. I don't know if you're testing your themes on XFCE 4.12, but I think the Window Switcher (the Alt-Tab) could have some improvements (like a dark background). Also, do you think on using turning the Gtk2 applications dark (as the Gtk3 ones)? Thank you very much!
Sorry, I missed your messages :( I've been busy with other stuff and it's easy to loose track sometimes.
So, if you want to change the blue color, you have to edit Ceti-2-theme/common/gtk-3.0/<your-gtk-version>/_colors.scss.
Change the hex value in this line
$_selected_bg_color: #2468A0;
to whatever you want. After that, you have to regenerate the .css files with the `parse-sass.sh` script. There's a README in the directory with some short instructions on how to get sass installed.
Some of the images used in the theme also contain the blue color. To change that, you have to edit the `assets.svg` file and adjust the colors (make sure you don't change the object id's in the process).
After that you need to delete the corresponding .png images from the `assets` and `borders` subdirectories and run `render-assets.sh` and/or `render-borders.sh`.
Is this possible in this theme to change separately
[url=these colors]http://www.url.com[/url](text color in menu, color of selection of files, and color in menu)?
Yes, that's possible.
For the button text color you have to open _drawing.scss, go to line 100 and change
saturate(lighten($selected_bg_color, 18%), 24%)
to whatever you like (this can be replaced by a hex code).
Also you have to change the color of the icon-shadow in line 192.
The other two styles are shared by several widgets and are defined in _common.scss in line 2980 and 2988.
Hmm... I see in _common.scss in that lines, which you say about, only this:
// Decouple the font of context menus from their entry/textview
.touch-selection,
.context-menu {
font: initial;
}
.monospace {
font: Monospace;
}
Is that realy right place of a file?

I solved the problem by re-installing ceti-2-themes-git in AUR for Archlinux. Thanks for the great theme!
ARCH user,not AUR! Why can't just download and unzip to: usr/share/themes?
It's in the AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ceti-2-themes/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ceti-2-themes-git/

What are fonts used visible in your screenshots?
Hey man, can you answer my question about changing colors. I don't think that it will take much time for you.
Sorry, I missed your messages :( I've been busy with other stuff and it's easy to loose track sometimes. So, if you want to change the blue color, you have to edit Ceti-2-theme/common/gtk-3.0/<your-gtk-version>/_colors.scss.

Thanks a lot! Good luck in your work.

Oops, that was the 3.16 version. The correct lines are 2949 and 2957.
Ok, if I understand right, after editing these files I have to run parse-sass.sh script?
