Dr. J Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Hi all... I had the urge to mess around with KDE themes a bit today, and ended up using Oxygen. 'Tis a great theme, but I came into a curious conundrum trying to set it for GTK stuff. "gtk2-engines-oxygen" is in the repos for Stretch, but the gtk3 variant seems to exist for every release apart from Stretch... The package from any other release wouldn't install properly (manual download and dpkg -i, also tried with gdebi) due to a missing dependency. I'm wondering if anyone with more experience with in things Debian knows if I can expect it to show up in Stretch at some point. Regards, Jay.

raymac46 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) Don't know for sure, but it looks like Oxygen is not supported by GNOME 3.14 and newer. So if that is true I would not hold my breath waiting for it to show up in the future. The version in Sid is only for ARM architecture and it's an old one.

raymac46 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 On the subject of themes did you try Numix? That will probably work in both desktops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. J Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Don't know for sure, but it looks like Oxygen is not supported by GNOME 3.14 and newer. Ahh... I see. I guess it's an "old" theme at this stage and there isn't much interest in it anymore... On the subject of themes did you try Numix? That will probably work in both desktops. That's a good idea.... Numix is my go to theme for Xfce... I'd say it'd look fairly classy in KDE too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. J Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Here it is then... The Firefox and Telegram icons are bugging me a little, but meh, it still looks pretty cool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedon James Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I like that wallpaper with the dark theme! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymac46 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I'm using the Numix Circle Icons on my GNOME Shell desktop and they are not lovely but businesslike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunrat Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 You will certainly need oxygen if you are messing with KDE Plasma 5 comes with Breeze as default so you don't need to think about oxygen. And here's a new FF icon for you: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. J Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 I've since switched to Numix Circle icons too... they seem to be more of a complete set than Numix Shine. Those are probably still a work in progress, but the circle ones even have all of the KDE stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here's a new FF icon for you: Ah ha it is that cross pond culture gap thing again. I was meaning that as KDE is at the forefront of exploration some Oxygen might come in handy for those unexpected strains on the grey cell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
