-## Overview

-

-The Clearlooks-Phenix project (formerly known as Clearwaita) aims at creating a GTK3 port of Clearlooks, the default theme for Gnome 2. Style is also included for GTK2, Unity and for Metacity, Openbox and Xfwm4 window managers.

-## Requirements

-

-- Requirements for Clearlooks-Phenix 1: packages `gtk2-engines` (if GTK2 applications are used) and `gnome-themes-standard`.

-

-- Requirements for Clearlooks-Phenix 2: packages `gtk2-engines` (if GTK2 applications are used), `gnome-themes-standard` and `gtk3-engines-unico`.

-

-- Requirements for Clearlooks-Phenix 3: package `gtk2-engines` (if GTK2 applications are used).

-

-## Installation

-

-Regardless of the installation method chosen, the theme must be selected once the installation is complete:

-

-- On Gnome: with [gnome-tweak-tool](https://live.gnome.org/GnomeTweakTool), by setting *Theme > Window theme* and *Theme > GTK+ theme*, or in a terminal:

-

- dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/theme \'Clearlooks-Phenix\'

- dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/gtk-theme \'Clearlooks-Phenix\'

-

-- On Xfce: by going to *Settings > Appearence > Style* in the main menu for the GTK theme, and to *Settings > Window Manager > Style* for the Xfwm4 theme, or in a terminal:

-

- xfconf-query -s Clearlooks-Phenix -c xfwm4 -p /general/theme

- xfconf-query -s Clearlooks-Phenix -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName

-

-### Manually

-

-**Manual installation ensures you get the latest version of the theme.** See below for other installation methods.

-

-- Download the appropriate version according to your situation:

-

- - for GTK 3.0 and 3.2: [download Clearlooks-Phenix 1](https://gitorious.org/projets-divers/clearlooks-phenix/archive/v1.zip);

-

- - for GTK 3.4: [download Clearlooks-Phenix 2](https://gitorious.org/projets-divers/clearlooks-phenix/archive/v2.zip).

-

- - for GTK 3.6 and newer: [download Clearlooks-Phenix 3](https://gitorious.org/projets-divers/clearlooks-phenix/archive/master.zip).

-

- To find your GTK version:

-

- - You can check in your package manager the version of the package `libgtk-3-0`.

-

- - If you use Ubuntu, here's a correspondence between its versions and those of GTK (for a default installation of Ubuntu):

-

- - Ubuntu 11.10: GTK 3.2

- - Ubuntu 12.04: GTK 3.4

- - Ubuntu 12.10: GTK 3.6

-

-- Extract the archive.

-

-- Rename the extracted folder to `Clearlooks-Phenix`.

-

-- Copy the folder `Clearlooks-Phenix` in one of the following two locations:

-

- - `~/.themes/` for the current user;

-

- - `/usr/share/themes/` for all users, including style for programs ran with root privileges (e.g. Synaptic).

-

-### Arch Linux

-

-An [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=60380) is maintained by eworm.

-

-### Debian

-

-The package [`clearlooks-phenix-theme`](http://packages.debian.org/sid/clearlooks-phenix-theme) can be installed on Debian unstable.

-

-### Gentoo

-

-See the following package:

-

- http://packages.gentoo.org/package/x11-themes/clearlooks-phenix

-

-### Ubuntu

-

-The package [`clearlooks-phenix-theme`](http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=clearlooks-phenix-theme) can be installed on Ubuntu 12.10 and newer.

-

-## Configuration

-

-### Wallpaper

-

-The wallpaper used for the Gnome 3 desktop screenshot is available in the folder `wallpapers`.

-

-### Icons

-

-The icon theme used for the same screenshot is Mist, installed with the package [`gnome-themes`](http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/gnome-themes), under LGPL. However, this package is no longer available with last Ubuntu versions. Here's an easy way to install Mist:

-

-- [Download the archive of the Mist icon theme.](http://www.jpfleury.net/site/fichiers/Mist.tar)

-

-- Extract the archive.

-

-- Copy the folder `Mist` in one of the following two locations:

-

- - `~/.icons/` for the current user;

-

- - `/usr/share/icons/` for all users.

-

-- Then, choose Mist:

-

- - on Gnome: with gnome-tweak-tool by setting *Theme > Icon theme*;

-

- - on Xfce: by going to *Settings > Appearence > Icons* in the main menu.

-

-Also, [color schemes](http://opendesktop.org/usermanager/search.php?username=DDZ&action=contents) were made by DDZ to fit with Clearlooks-Phenix.

-

-### Desktop managed by Nautilus

-

-By default, the font color on a desktop managed by Nautilus is black. To set it to white, open the file `gtk-3.0/applications.css` with a text editor, find the code relative to Nautilus:

-

- /************

- * Nautilus *

- ************/

-

- /*

- COMMENTED

- CSS

- CODE

- */

-

-and uncomment it, as follows:

-

- /************

- * Nautilus *

- ************/

-

- UNCOMMENTED

- CSS

- CODE

-

-To get a custom color, change the color directly in the file `gtk-3.0/applications.css`.

-

-### Color variants

-

-From Clearlooks-Phenix 2, it's very easy to create color variants of the GTK3 theme. Only a few color declarations must be changed in the file `gtk-3.0/gtk-variant.css`.

-

-About button borders, they come from SVG files. [Inkscape](http://inkscape.org/) can be used to modify them. For more details, see the screencast [Utiliser Inkscape pour modifier la couleur de la bordure d'un bouton](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWJHDS5hQsw). A Bash script is also shipped with Clearlooks-Phenix to assist the modification of SVG and PNG files. To use it, copy the file `doc/images.sh.txt`, paste it in the root folder of your development theme (same emplacement as the file `index.theme`) and rename it `images.sh`. Then, change variables in the first section of the file according to the color variant desired and run the script in a terminal (`bash images.sh`). The package `imagemagick` is required.

-

-### Window buttons layout

-

-If after installing or updating Ubuntu, the window buttons are on the left side, but you want them to the right, run the following command in a terminal:

-

- gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string ":minimize,maximize,close"

-

-## Development

-

-Last version: 3.0.16 (2013-09-07)

-

-Git is used for revision control. [Repository can be browsed online or cloned.](https://gitorious.org/projets-divers/clearlooks-phenix)
