[New: openFATE 314662] Use a "green Adwaita" GTK theme

Feature added by: Michael Catanzaro (Golbats_Everywhere) Feature #314662, revision 1 Title: Use a "green Adwaita" GTK theme openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Michael Catanzaro (golbats_everywhere) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: openSUSE 12.1/12.2 uses the upstream Adwaita GTK theme. This is mostly good, since it's a very high-quality theme, and I believe one of our goals is to not diverge much from the upstream GNOME experience. However, GNOME's main color is blue, whereas ours is green. When highlighting text, the highlight is blue. When selecting an item in a list, the background turns blue. When selecting the scrollbar, the scrollbar turns blue. When typing into a text form, the form is outlined in blue. I propose we change the blue elements of Adwaita to green elements (by default). This should be all that is changed, so that the theme remains simple to maintain and retains the GNOME feel. I separately propose using the Sonar icon set by default in GNOME, which still works great in 12.2 and is very very close to upstream GNOME. This is not essential to the overall proposal.

The current "blue Adwaita" theme feels out of place in openSUSE, particularly considering the attention to artistic detail in other parts of the distribution. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314662
