Firefox y otros programas con colores diferentes al tema del sistema

Como mencioné en una publicación anterior, algo inusual con el "cursor invisible" en la caja de Mate, pues me llegó a incomodar ver ese color celeste predeterminado, a la hora de seleccionar algo. No entiendo a ciencia cierta el porqué de la no consistencia de los temas, pero bueno.

LA SOLUCIÓN💡

Hay que editar un archivo, abrirlo con un editor de texto: /home/usuario/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

Añadir estas líneas:

menu menuitem:hover, .menu menuitem:hover { background-color: #4D4DFF; }

Puedes cambiar el color, escogiendo uno que definas con el selector de color de mate, así se vería después de

Trying to install and configure a consistent desktop theme across gtk2, gtk3/4, and qt4/5/6 is such a pain in the ass I'm almost tempted to just throw out my whole OS install and start from scratch.

Almost.

May 2025.

I tried installing a set of themes on Ubuntu MATE 24.04.1 LTS in Distrosea today.

https://distrosea.com/

These themes are provided as a theme package found in vanilla MATE desktops such as Debian and Fedora.

MATE is the modern day continuation of GNOME 2, a very popular, efficient and functional desktop environment from the early 2000s.

The theme pack I selected are compactable GTK3/4 (Graphical Toolkit) versions based on classic GNOME 2 era themes.

Ubuntu MATE website:

https://ubuntu-mate.org/

Debian Linux website:

https://www.debian.org/

Fedora Linux website:

https://fedoraproject.org/spins/mate

See MATE Desktop website here:

About the Graphical Toolkit user interface:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK

I used the MATE Tweak tool to adjust the panels from the 'familiar' layout to the 'traditional' layout. Here are many of the layouts available.

MATE Tweak can change the panel layout between Traditional (GNOME 2), Unity, Redmond (Windows) contemporary (Mac OS) style.

Here are many of the layouts available.

Afterwards, I used the command line to install the themes with the command: sudo apt install mate-themes.

This command then prompted me to agree the system changes and then it installed the required theme files to the list.

I opened up the theme folder in the Caja file manager. This shows all the ones installed on the system.

Next I opened the appearance preferences and cycled through each theme. There are a total of 12 new themes it added alongside the existing Yaru Colour theme collection for Ubuntu.

This package couldn't be installed graphical so this is why I installed it through the terminal. It is also available to install through the Software Manager on Linux Mint.

The theme package can also be installed on the Cinnamon desktop and other linux distributions.

I like these themes as they provide a more 3D feel and is refreshing to see themes for a desktop environment that hasn't moved towards flat design. It themes all the desktop elements from the windows, panels, drop down menus, CSD apps and widgets.

My favourite one is called YaruOK (blue), as it provides resizable window controls, 3D controls and provides a familiar look to the desktop. The theme is also called TraditionalOK.

This theme is a fork of a GTK2 theme called Clear-looks, which was created by Red Hat developers.

YaruOK is a modern variant that uses GTK3 & 4. The theme is rendered in SVG instead of PNG format which improves HiDpi scaling and features themed client side decorations for header bar windows such as the Disks utility.

I also added a GNOME Eyes widget onto the panel!

These fun set of eyes follow your mouse cursor around the screen and can help you find the cursor amongst the clutter of windows. It is built to be very lightweight.

I also like the workspace switcher on the bottom left, which allows you to switch between as many desktop workspaces as you want.

The little square windows within each desktop can be clicked on and moved to another workspace.

Like with other desktop environments, you can also right click a window and move it onto another workspace. Each desktop can be named for a assigned task.

A System Monitor widget can also be added to the panels to display CPU, Memory, Swap and Network processes.

There are many other very interesting widget to play around with on the desktop and panels as well!

Here are the MATE themes in Ubuntu Linux 24.04.1, integrating with the Cinnamon desktop.

Below are some theming screenshots from Debian MATE 12 Linux.

I've customised the panel, selected the compact menu and changed notification sizes to make it more clearer. The window lists stack onto each other with the increased size.

The MATE panels have adjustable transparency and can be re-coloured and textured very easily through its own preferences box.

See screenshots below!

A very interesting look at the user interface elements found in GNOME 2, MATE and Cinnamon Linux desktop environments!

With our wonderful new Systemd "init" system even the most trivial of tasks must be completed via #-configuration.conf file under some asinine conf.d directory. Simply make your change and restart via systemctl. We only ship barebones images so no text editor of any kind is included. No not even ed. We don't care about POSIX or fucking anything. We don't care about anything. GTK2 and GTK3 libraries are included in this image

Ah, not so fast hotshot, you can't simply install an editor, your network is not configured! And we will NOT default to dhcp on any interfaces because that would be ridiculous. Looks like your ass is echoing appends. Thanks for using Linux we hope you get into a car accident.

El cursor no se ve en temas oscuros de Linux > gtk dark theme invisible cursor

Desde que se dio el cambio del escritorio Gnome 2 al 3, muchas cosas cambiaron para mal, pues antes por ejemplo, era muy sencillo personalizar un tema de colores sin mayor afectación. En el explorador de archivos Thunar, este pequeño gran detalle no se aprecia, porque a la hora de renombrar un archivo, nos tira una ventana, como si fuéramos a la pestaña de propiedades en la caja o en nautilus.

LA SOLUCIÓN

Hay que abrir y editar -, sino crear uno- un archivo denominado "gtk.css" ubicado en la dirección:

/home/usuario/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

Añadir el siguiente código parecido al "css"

* { caret-color: #4D4DFF; }

El color que escogí, para el cursor que parpadea fue un azul moradito "blurple" -como luce el texto del enlace-, aunque podría ser un tono amarillo también, por el adecuado contraste.

RECUERDE CERRAR LA SESIÓN, PARA QUE LOS CAMBIOS SE HAGAN EFECTIVOS EN EL NUEVO INICIO.👌🏽

GIMP 3.0 في النهاية خارج

ملخص يتم إصدار GIMP 3.0 أخيرًا بعد أكثر من عقد من التطوير ، ويتميز بتحسينات إدارة واجهة المستخدم وإدارة الألوان الحديثة. يتضمن التحديث عملية ترحيل إلى مجموعة أدوات GTK3 والشعار الجديد وشاشة البداية وتحسينات موضوع الأيقونة القديمة. أصبح GIMP 3.0 متاحًا ببطء للتنزيل من خلال قنوات مختلفة مثل Flathub ، مما يوفر تنقيحات إلى BMP و TIFF Plugins. إذا كنت من مستخدمي GIMP ، فقد تكون قد تساءلت لفترة من…

Highlights

Need to tweak a filter you applied hours ago? New in GIMP 3.0 is non-destructive editing for most commonly-used filters. See the changes in real time with on-canvas preview.

Exchange files with more applications, including BC7 DDS files as well as better PSD export and many new formats.

Don’t know how big to make your drawing? Simply set your paint tool to expand layers automatically as needed.

Making pro-quality text got easier, too. Style your text, apply outlines, shadows, bevels, and more, and you can still edit your text, change font and size, and even tweak the style settings.

Organizing your layers has become much easier with the ability to select multiple items at once, move them or transform them all together!

Color Management was again improved, as our long-term project to make GIMP an advanced image editor for all usages.

Updated graphical toolkit (GTK3) for modern desktop usage.

New Wilber logo!

12.01.25

Here are two Linux distributions running in a virtual machine on Distrosea. They are Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon and Debian 12 MATE.

These images show some of the themes which you can select in each distro. Linux Mint uses two themes, known as 'Mint-Y (Arc)' and 'Mint-X (Greybird)'.

Mint-X is a redesign of the Graphical Toolkit 2 (GTK2) version seen in older versions of Mint made to work with the newer GTK3 and 4 versions. All themes are available in a range of colours and include light and dark variants.

Read Linux Mint's release history here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Mint#Release_history

In Debian 12 MATE, there are a range of retro themes including 'Green Menta' which is the default.

This is Debian's background featuring the 1999 Debian red swirl logo, which also features in Pixar's Toy Story, rotated around on the chin of Buzz Lightyear!

The name for this version of Debian is Bookworm, all releases since 1996 feature the names of various Toy Story characters.

Find out Debian Linux's name history here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_version_history

I have selected a theme called 'TraditionalOK' which is a GTK3 theme based on a classic GTK2 version called 'Clearlooks' which was built from a similar theme used in the old free version of Red Hat Linux.

Most Linux distros use either GTK3, Qt4 or OpenBox as a theme toolkit.

The original GTK was developed in 1997. It was inspired by the success of the KDE project.

See wiki link to learn more about GTK:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK

Using GTK3 or GTK4 has many advantages over GTK2 such as the ability to support modern features such as HiDpi as GTK3 uses vector graphics (SVG files) instead of PNG files to display all the windows on screen.

See post below for my write up on Distrosea.

How To: Increase the Text Carat Thickness in GTK3 Applications

I use Linux Mint for the operating system on my home computer, and find the default thickness for the text carat leaves me scratching my head and muttering “where’d the blasted thing go now?”. Altering the thickness of the carat however, is really easy to do! This method works with pretty much any operating system that is using GTK3 for its themes, and because you aren’t editing a desktop theme…
