(UI Colors and Themes)

Table of Contents

This section is just to keep track of UI and Color themes I use. End goal being to try and maintain a somewhat unified appearance across everything.

Syntax highlighting, terminal, and text color schemes

I cobbled together some colors from various Monokai/Molokai themes. Anywhere I have to manually enter colors I use these. Otherwise I might use generally available themes such as the one included in Vim, Emacs, etc.

UI Themes

GTK

Blackbird covers GTK 2.x, GTK 3.x, Metacity, and Xfwm4. It's not friendly to GnuCash. Adwaita-Dark is my fallback.

QT

I tend to just let QT follow the gtk2 style, but Breeze is an okay fallback.

Icon Themes

I switched to Papirus, because it has icons for elisp source. It also has a generally large set of icons, and even multiple color sets, but I don't know how to take advantage of them (or my apps lack support for this).

Before that I was using Breeze Dark, but I was also fond of Tango for a bit more color.
