I am back again with my Budgie theme! I am releasing a public preview version. It still has issues, but due to interest I wanted to release a preview/testing version for everyone. I have been working hard this last week restructuring the theme and creating a proper meson build system around it. Much, much more detail available on the GitHub, including the install details and screenshots! Please check it out and let me know what everyone thinks!

I hope everyone enjoys this, and I really hope that people are interested in it's continued development. I am actually suppose to be on vacation and I have been told I need to relax, so I am going to have to slow down for a bit. I will check in periodically, but I will be returning fully at the end of June! Until then, please enjoy what I have up so far. I will check in when I can, but my full active involvement in development will be slowed down temporarily for a couple weeks.

    Super excited to play with this! Thanks for putting it up, it looks really nice. Now go enjoy your vacation! 😛

    Oh man, I should actually go to bed now, but I will give this a try first ^^

    Justin Currently. It also works with resvg. I am still learning how to work with svg and I personally have wanted to replace the Inkscape dependency, but I have had a hard time finding thorough resources on other ways to render svg to png. Do you know what I should look into using that would be a better fit? Is there already a render svg command for Solus or something along the lines of that?

    It is just being used to render assets from the svg file to make assets match the theme colors. If there's a good replacement, I'm down for it.

      NikkNakk imagemagick does it apparently, try:

      convert -density 1200 test.svg test.png

      May have to fiddle with the density value to get the best results.

        NikkNakk cool really nice.

        My suggestion is get rid of this ps_cool, ps_warm in _colors.scss (shd not force user to use red and blue 😀 ) .
        i did this

        $ps_cool: $ps_color ; 
        $ps_warm: $ps_color ;
        $pm_warm: $pm_color;
        $pm_cool: $pm_color; 

        and

        $pick_color: 'gray';
        $ps_pick: 'gray';
        $shade: 90;
        $ps_shade: 80;
        
        $corner: 0px;
        $incorner: $corner;
        $btncorner: 0px;

        after that looks awesome

        Needs attention: font, font display is black (nautilus) plz refer in image , sublime text titlebar , dark folder saves as 'Brightwork Dark' (with singe quote)

          Justin Sweet, thanks! I will take a look at adding that. I think it should be pretty straight forward to implement that one.

          viyoriya Wow, that is looking real sharp! I like it 😀 Those square buttons actually look pretty slick.

          I don't want to remove the red and blue, those are used to create layers of color temperature. BUT, I can easily make them configurable. I'll add a mix value to the _config.scss, so people can decide how much they want the warm and cool colors to be noticeable; Something similar to how I have the shadows where 0 is off and 1 is max.

          Yeah, there's still a bunch of things I need to fix up, that's why I had to call it a test haha. Thanks for spotting those, If you start reporting these issues on Github I can start working on them when I get a chance or when I get home!

          viyoriya This looks great because the difference between the levels of greys is big enough to give a good contrast. Most dark themes use very close color tones and on crappy (laptop) monitors they almost look black on black unless you stand in a dark room and you increase the monitor brightness to max.

          This will be awesome theme if he fix few stuff and option to select different min/max/close instead of round mac style (if anyone have assest.svg like Adapta-Nakota please share the link 🙂 )

          Lucien_Lachance Hope you are doing good mate. You may like this theme.

            viyoriya I actually quite like the buttons for minimize, maximize, and close. It reminds me of EvoPop rather than macOS (though I don't have an issue with the look for either).
