Description:

Victory is a bright, flat, and minimalist Gtk theme. This theme was made using, and primarily for use on, Xubuntu and Lubuntu 16.04 thru 18.04, but should work fine with any XFCE/LXDE-based distro. As of the 18.07 release, Gtk3 theming has become the primary focus, and as of this release, all Gtk3 elements should be themed correctly. No Gnome shell theme is provided, but all apps and widgets should theme fine in Gnome 3, Gtk3 versions of XFCE, MATE, Mint, etc. File Managers themed are Thunar, Nautilus, PCManFM, Nemo, Pantheon Files, and Caja. I've also included variant borders and styles for Openbox and XFWM, as well as a notification theme for XFCE. Again, please let me know if anyone has any problems, thoughts, constructive criticisms, etc.

Thanks again everyone... I really appreciate all the feedback, votes, and comments!

I have also recently set up Patreon and Liberapay pages for those interested in supporting my work, and any contributions are greatly appreciated:

++ Installing ++

To install, downloaded the tar.gz, open it and extract the folder of your preferred theme into your ~/.themes folder (if your home directoy does not have a .themes folder, create one). Then open your desktops Appearance Manager to select the theme.

+ Appearance Managers

- XFCE: xfce4-appearance-settings (for Theme/Controls)
- XFCE: xfwm4-settings (for Window Border)

- LXDE: lxappearance (for Theme/Controls)
- LXDE/Openbox: obconf (for Window Border)

+ Theme Directory is located at /home/USERNAME/.themes

----------------------------------------------------------

++ Configure ++

You can modify the colors and change some styles in the /home/USERNAME/.themes/victory-gtk-theme/gtk-3.20/gtk.css file. Open that file and you can change the colors. At the bottom you can uncomment lines for various custom styles that will affect certain applications or parts of the theme (more styles to be added later). The picture for this theme is using Thunar, for example, with the thunar custom view line uncommented. This removes the back/forward/home buttons from thunar and makes the location bar take up all the space.

9 +Your theme is the cleanest of them all. But I have a problem. My panel looks weird and my xfce vala panel (Global Menu) is having a different color compared to other plugins.

Great theme, but the source you provided seems to be outdated, on bitbucket it's labelled 17.04, and there's no 18.07 downloads for the darker themes, have they just not been updated yet?

The theme for 18.04 was largely rewritten and I haven't been able to finish remaking the darker themes just yet (and also I'm migrating away from github where it was originally so my git situation is a little behind). I'm actually not sure how to handle darker sections now. With 17.04 it mostly only affected Gtk2 windows and Gtk3 windows with Menubars. But most Gtk3 apps are switching to CSD Headerbars and the dark window borders look very out of place with those. So I'll either have to find a way to make that look nice or just focus on the light base theme.
