### INSTALL | ||
|
||
To install, place each theme folder in the (.themes) folder in your home folder. | ||
If that folder doesn't exist, create it. It will be a, "hidden," folder, so | ||
you may have to enable the showing of hidden files and folders in your file | ||
browsing program. For Caja this setting can be found under (edit>preferences). | ||
|
||
Also, perform the following, in a terminal, as root or with sudo: | ||
|
||
`apt install qt5ct qt5-style-plugins` | ||
|
||
After that, you can run the following, in a terminal, as your normal user: | ||
|
||
`qt5ct` | ||
|
||
From this program you can select gtk2 under the (style) selection. | ||
Qt5 applications will subsequently render the gtk2 portion of the themes as | ||
well. | ||
|
||
That should be it. Modify these instructions as needed for non-debian-based | ||
distributions. If `qt5ct` gives you an error/warning that prevents it from | ||
functioning, as it might, just search the Internet for the particular error; | ||
there should be a solution. | ||
|
||
### ABOUT | ||
|
||
These themes are a modification of the default theme, | ||
"High Contrast Inverse." Essentially it came down to using the Pluma | ||
text-editor and a lot of the, "find and replace," function. | ||
It's all based off a now dated version of that theme, which came with a | ||
particular version of the Mate Desktop Environment, of which I can't recall. | ||
|
||
There may be bugs and the themes are far from organized and perfect; but, after | ||
hacking away for some time, things look nice enough that they have been usable | ||
for me, for some time now. I've been meaning to upload and share my work for | ||
some years now; but, things were never polished enough for me to feel it | ||
was worth doing so. Anyway, I finally expanded the intial red theme to an | ||
entire color set, cleaned things up a bit, and here we are. As of Mate version | ||
1.20.4, these themes still seem to work. Hopefully they will continue to | ||
function nicely for some time... | ||
|
||
This theme seems to be covered under the GNU Lesser General Public License | ||
in the official Mate git repos (I think?); so I've included it here. | ||
So, should you, for some ungodly reason, decide to modify this mess; | ||
make sure you follow the terms of the GPL. | ||
