+## 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](http://jpfleury.indefero.net/p/clearlooks-phenix/source/download/v1/);

+

+ - for GTK 3.4: [download Clearlooks-Phenix 2](http://jpfleury.indefero.net/p/clearlooks-phenix/source/download/v2/).

+

+ - for GTK 3.6 and newer: [download Clearlooks-Phenix 3](http://jpfleury.indefero.net/p/clearlooks-phenix/source/download/master/).

+

+ 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

+

+The following `ebuild` can be used:

+

+ http://bbgentoo.ilb.ru/repos/bbgentoo/bbgentoo_overlay/tags/current/x11-themes/clearlooks-phenix/clearlooks-phenix-2.0.10.ebuild

+

+### Ubuntu

+

+The package [`clearlooks-phenix-theme`](http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/clearlooks-phenix-theme) can be installed on Ubuntu 12.10 and newer. However, this package is not up-to-date, and the [PPA maintained by Andrew Shadura](https://launchpad.net/~andrewshadoura/+archive/clearlooks-phenix) can be used instead.

+

+## 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 were made by DDZ to fit with Clearlooks-Phenix:

+

+- [Gnome-Colors-Clearlooks](http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php?content=151907), color scheme for the icon theme Gnome-Colors;

+

+- [Humanities-Clearlooks](http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php?content=151908), color scheme for the icon theme Humanities.

+

+- [KDE3-Clearlooks-Colors](http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php?content=151994), color scheme for KDE 3.

+

+- [KDE4-Clearlooks-Colors](http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php?content=151993), color scheme for KDE 4.

+

+### 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"

+
