Chocula Desktop Theme

A dark brown theme with neon accents for KDE and GTK desktop environments, based on Eliver Lara's beautiful Dracula theme

Installation

Download and extract the zip file or run git clone https://github.com/SueDonham/chocula-desktop-theme.git in a terminal.

KDE

Manual

• Copy the KDE theme components into their respective directories in ~/.local/share/ or /usr/share/
• For consistent application theming, copy GTK/Chocula into ~/.themes or /usr/share/themes, as well.

Scripted

Open a terminal in the cloned or extracted directory and run: cd KDE && ./install.sh

• install.sh copies the theme components (including the GTK theme) to where Plasma can find them.
• remove.sh deletes them from those locations.

Apply via System Settings > Appearance > Global Theme.

GTK

• Copy GTK/Chocula into ~/.themes or /usr/share/themes, creating them if needed, or open a terminal in the cloned or extracted directory and run:

- mkdir -p ~/.themes && cp -r GTK/Chocula ~/.themes

• Apply via your distro's settings menu, gnome-tweaks or similar, or by opening a terminal and running:

    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme Chocula
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme Chocula
  

GTK systems running the newest version of Gnome using libadwaita:

• Copy GTK/Chocula into a "themes" directory as described above.
• Manual way to help Gnome find the theme:
  • Copy Chocula/assets into ~/.config (cp -r GTK/Chocula/assets ~/.config)
  • Copy gtk-4.0/gtk.css and gtk-4.0/gtk-dark.css into ~/.config/gtk-4.0 (cp GTK/Chocula/gtk-4.0/gtk*.css ~/.config/gtk-4.0)
• Scripted way:
  • This script creates links between the above files/directories and their new homes in ./config.
