Dark theme very nice!  Looks slick with the oxygen icons.

Re: Let's darken themes

I prefer a lighter dark or darker light with a dingy white for window contents. Like I've had for the past 24? years. Maybe i should call it a warmer mid tone color. R214,G189,B152 for window button, taskbar, menu, yadayda, with some variation of that or a warmer gray for highlights,the dingy white contents and lower level backlight/brightness. Altough I did transparentize the taskbar, that's new  for me.Haven't found any like it, stopped looking..

oh well at 297.5KB the screen shot is too big, and i have nothing handy to reduce it to unknown size at the moment so no visual and no ability to color picker copy.

also note put a comma between window, button above post.

I use KDE primarily but I also run TDE. I prefer KDE because of the customization features and wider range of choices overall for look/appearance.

Excuse me, is it available for Gemini / TDE 14.0.12 too? A theme "Darkonair" isn't offered here in the Lookswitcher.

Yes, Darkonaire for Trinity is available in Gemini. You only need to update Apt:
$ sudo apt update
and install Lookswitcher from software center. Darkonair will be listed in Lookswitcher, so you can switch easily.

Yes, thank you! The theme is nice, i'd like to use it, but the looks of Wine_Classic is more important for me (but i doubt there will come a darkend theme for it, unfortunately).

Will be possible to use "BREEZE DARK" theme in TDE?

We'll wait dev's respons, since TDE's not noob friendly as other DEs in theming.
We have that "look switcher" but only 1 theme to choose, it's limited.

Re: Let's darken themes

Take a look at this really old thread that will give you an idea of whats possible, but TDE has changed a lot since this thread was originally posted.  Post #5 is worth looking thru.
