I’ve been dying for someone to come up with the first decent GNOME theme ever to be released. And, invariably, scantily-clad anime characters as wallpaper in the screenshots. And the over-designed ones are too specific to a single person’s taste to really ever find traction among more than a small percentage of all GNOME users - and in the worst cases, they’re bulky, illegible, and have the unmistakable sound of bad techno seeping out of them. The under-designed ones can be functional but look awful, as though they were designed more than a decade ago.
Every theme is either under- or over-designed, or is an attempt to mimic some other OS.
In my opinion there are no good GNOME themes. Mira is one I’d never heard of, but as is so often the case with GNOME themes, it sacrifices usability for style. But that is a useless and confusing design gimmick. I haven’t installed either of them, so I would hope that at the very least some indicators are revealed when you hover over them. The problem with themes like Elementary and (Night) Impression is that their buttons have no indication of what they do. Of course I know what it means, so I don’t have any trouble with it other than that it’s not “correct,” although recently a friend was using my computer and was unable to figure out how to restore a maximized window. I wouldn’t know how to indicate “Restore” in a way that matches the simple geometrics of Shiki’s window buttons, but a plus sign is not it. Make a backup of that key, take ownership of it, and then delete that whole key (defualtcolors).I currently use some variant of Shiki, but one thing that drives me crazy about it is that the Maximize button remains a plus sign when the window is maximized. (THIS IS ONLY NEEDED FOR VERSIONS BEFORE v1703) For dark themes Windows 10 loads defaults from the following registry location after every lock/sleep/hibernate/crash.Themes may come with different "versions" for different versions of windows, extract the zip and look in the folders to confirm you copy the correct folder to themes.ReRun UXTheme Patcher to confirm status = "patched/no need to patch".Install UXTheme Patcher and Ribbon Disabler and then move theme into folder(s) I liked to use the following theme + Icon Pack: (I prefer the DarkUI, but it can mess up some applications so I install both in case I need to switch between) Patch uxtheme.dll via UltraUXThemePatcher.
