Prof-Gnome-theme
Made by paulxfce
Call me old-fashioned, but I do not like all the dark themes out there. My focus is this:
A pleasing, clear and easy-on-the-eyes theme that is meant for those who use the Gnome-desktop professionally on a daily basis.
The focus in this theme is usability and compatibility: GTK-2 applications and GTK-3 applications look virtually the same.
IMPORTANT:
This theme is developed for the gnome DE. It works on GTK3.22 to GTK3.29, and GTK3.32/34/36/38, NOT GTK 3.30.
How to install:
Download the theme,
> Gnome-PROF-light
> Gnome-PROF-light-DS (Dark Sidebar in the filemanager)
> Gnome-PROF-Darker
>Gnome-PROF-Dark
Just copy the extracted file to a '.themes'-folder you make in your home directory.
Then use Tweak Tool and select the theme.
LOG OUT AND BACK IN for changes to take full effect !
IMPORTANT FOR UBUNTU-USERS:
Ubuntu increasingly use snaps if you download something from the Ubuntu-software-center.
This unfortunately means that they do not follow the theme.
So some app's that are snaps use the default adwaita theme.
For example the Ubuntu-software-center is a snap-package and thus uses Adwaita, instead of Gnome-Prof-theme.
The only (easy) solution is to avoid snap-packages and find their versions in the repositories.

Please continue to maintain this theme, I always come back to this one. Should be default on Gnome!
This is the theme that I was looking for. For a long time..
This is easily the highest quality theme out there, but for some reason, emacs has a unusually big window header, can you please take a look?
Hands down, by far the best looking theme with minute details covered. Better than all those Mac themes out there. What I liked the most? Font Rendering and Rounded Corners.
i"m using the light version of the theme--beautiful! Thank you for creating this. It is, as you wrote in your description, easy on the eyes. I hope you'll keep developing it. It works perfectly on gnome 3.38
Best theme I ever saw, it looks perfectly balanced and easy on eyes. Applications somehow looks more "informative": you can distinguish elements from one another easier (modern "flat" designs often have problems with this).
Sadly there is one problem with all your themes (except Nextwaita witch I'm currently using): there is a menu when you right-click tab title in firefox, it shows, but when you select item with another menu on the list (like "move tab" "sent tab to device") that menu wouldn't work. I believe thunderbird had same problem with some menus, so this must be related with how mozilla handles gtk. Hope this is fixable, this small annoyance is stopping me from using this marvellous theme.
Nice job, man. Two questions:
1. How can I donate to you for this work?
2. Is it available on GitHub/GitLab?

10 PaulXFCE, you know your stuff. Great work, love it!
Not fit to good on 3.38. Folders in appgrid menu is broken. Also search button in nautilus look weird.
10 this deserves more recognition, perfect contrasts and beautiful.
I would like an option for a little taller buttons.
A couple of problems I notice: Nemo doesn't show the sidebar with a different color like on Nautilus and notifications on elementary OS show up with a white background, black text.
Well played colours, buttons and shades. Thxxx!
8 great
really great theme...hope purple version could added... would fit my purple yaru icon theme even better :)

Almost perfect, but gtk-2 apps are darker theme style (top dark and clear inside) only instead of realy dark when dark theme is applied. gtk-3 ones are completely dark.
Beautiful theme.
Great theme, thank you!
[Prof-Gnome-Light-3.5, GTK 3.24.23 on Debian GNOME no shell theme]
I keep on coming back to this theme in all honesty, and I *want* to give it a 10 or a 9 due to the nicely thought out contrasts between areas and lack of "adwhiter" glare. I'm really fond of the cute checkbutton and radiobutton styles and the way popup menus look too. Switches ~could~ be a bit wider and closer to the check/radio buttons in styling, and buttons on normal areas outside of headerbars ~could~ be brighter to stand out more (as they do very beautifully on the headerbars). The down arrows on dropdowns/combos look blurry to me at the font size I use (12pt Fira Sans Regular @ 1.00 scaling)
Aesthetically it's really nice and contrasty in a way that I *really* like (another nice one for me is your Cameo-Alu-dark, but that's too dark for "prof" use :)
Major problem is that there's no keyboard navigation focus, which makes it slightly unusable at times for me, and most/all the time for some disabled folks and primarily keyboard nav people. I think it's something themers need to do better: enabling additional modes of access helps everyone!
I hope you'll forgive the critique. Aesthetically, and in ways that use aesthetics to contribute to legibility and usability, this theme is outstanding.

This is by far the best Gnome theme ever made. Thank you so much. I'm not a casual user. I'm a professional developer using Gnome all day long.
I'm new, installed the "Dark" version, and contextual menus (right clic on desktop) and the top bar (where you can restart your computer, see notifications) menus are white (supposed to be black ?). How can I fix this ? (I'm on PopOS)
That's the best! I'm looking for new themes since 2019! This theme finally get me to go to Ubuntu system. Thank you!

8 great - beautiful theme. I really love how clean the UI is with this theme. The sidebars in Nautilus are particularly nice to me.
Only issue I'm seeing is around the border radius for apps like Visual Studio Code, GIMP that don't have the GNOME CSD titlebars. The curve is more pronounced in those apps. https://imgur.com/a/PicnbVk
Anyway to fix this?

i would like to points 2 things:
1) i finds that the 3 circles from window's corner (close,reduce...)a bit to small (laptop 1920*1080). get then bigger would be excellent.
2) in gnome-logs app, the numerous at the end of the lines which informs to the occurrence numbers logs is whites / transparency effect?.
should adopte the global theme color or a fixed color...
ps. i'm using your theme on kde plasma (breeze and breath2) and your theme works for gtk apps only
