Ambiance and Radiance are just GTK themes - they do not have the additional budgie CSS theme styling.
For all other themes that have budgie CSS styling, some tweaks will need to be made to accommodate the pixel saver. If you can I would suggest fork the theme from GitLab/Github - make the change and submit the change back to the maintainer. If you cannot make the change yourself, then raise an issue with the maintainer - maybe the maintainer will find a bit of time to tweak hopefully.
So for Pocillo - I made this small tweak https://github.com/UbuntuBudgie/pocillo-gtk-theme/blob/f5d3f12100544bd4a10ad39708e91baa7ac7d872/src/gtk-3.0/3.22/sass/apps/_budgie.scss - search for “pixel” - to ensure pixel saver is themed correctly.
As usual, thanks for explanations @fossfreedom !
I’ll see what I’m able to do…
( but why ship themes that are known to not work then ? )
but why ship themes that are known to not work then ?
The team concentrates on one theme that we have defaulted to - Pocillo. We aim to make this the go-to theme for the distro. All other themes we make available for as a choice - but obviously we do depend on all users to help here to resolve issues.
In /adapta-gtk-theme-master/gtk/sass/3.22/
downloaded zip from github, there is a _3rd_party.scss
file.
Is this where I should add
& .horizontal.titlebar { //budgie-pixel-saver applet
background-color: transparent;
border: none;
min-height: 0px;
color: $inverse_fg_color;
box-shadow: none;
& .image-button.titlebutton.close {
background-color: transparent;
}
}
// transparent-mode
&.transparent {
background-color: $alt_panel_bg_color;
}
How can I test that ?
And for reference : https://github.com/adapta-project/adapta-gtk-theme/issues/705
Instructions on how to compile the theme are in the README of that github repo.
I haven’t looked at where the budgie bits are in adapta. If they are in that file then yes add it there and compile and install using the README
Well… It seems it has been fixed upstream, even if I am not sure to understand Tista’s comment…
Adapta gtk theme has been updated today in my system and it is ok now !
Brilliant news! Well done to the excelllent maintainer
Hey, I know this comment does not actually answer your question, but I was just wondering what applet is that? I have tried searching for a lot of pixel-saver applet but all I found does not work. Thanks!
install pixel saver from budgie-welcome - software - budgie applets
Hi,
I guess I missed a bit. I assume it’s related to my theme of choice, Adapta. But it is ok on one computer and not on the other.
( sorry for blur, it’s from a remote desktop )
at work with theme styling → wrong spacing between buttons and no red circle background under the ×
at work without theme styling → very weird spacing + background for buttons are oval instead of circle.
at work is a fresh install from a couple of weeks, at home is my daily driver for years so I probably did something at home I should also do at work but not sure where to look at.
deb packages in both computers are :
ii adapta-gtk-theme 3.95.0.11-1 all Adaptive Gtk+ theme
ii adapta-gtk-theme-colorpack 3.94.0.149 all Extra color variants of Adapta Gtk+ theme
pixel-saver are different though
at home ( older ? )
ii budgie-pixel-saver-applet 4.0+git20200313-0ubuntu1+build1~focal amd64 budgie-desktop pixel saver applet
at work ( fresher ? )
ii budgie-pixel-saver-applet 4.0+git20210323-0ubuntu1~focal amd64 budgie-desktop pixel saver applet
…that difference is very unexpected as I am using at home http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntubudgie-dev/budgie-extras-daily/ubuntu ppa.
But here my main « fear » is that the « modification » of style regarding pixel-saver inside Adapta is finally not part of the package to be found in official Ubuntu repo.
Which are the files to compare between my two machines regarding styling of pixel-saver by or through Adapta ?
And if it’s not « fixable » do you know any dark-theme with a warm dominant color ( not blue ) that may work with pixel-saver ( and global menu ) ?
Your home version of pixel-saver is out of date. I’m guessing you have disabled the backports PPA hence why it hasn’t updated.
You mentioned you are using adapta-deeporange-nokto on both - that’s obviously not from the repos since it doesn’t exist.
So are you using “adapta” at work but the deeporange variant at home? Is that the key difference?
DeepOrange on both - from the same .deb package.
And on both computers « regular » Adapta is also installed.
Budgie desktop settings + same setting for each applets in both computers ( except theme styling in pixel-saver ).
That’s usually how I proceed : testing at home for weeks / months then « copycat » things at work.
Gonna check that weird thing about ppa - here at home.
on a side note : vimix/ruby looks like a good compromise. It better handles pixel-saver and show-desktop applets, and thus allows top panel to actually be 36 px. Too bad its panels are always solid color, not transparent / I did not notice : they are a bit transparent.
And if making use of « integrated style » as with other styles, global-menu gets wrong spacing.

errrr… no pixel-saver there. What’s broken ?
The backports ppa

And now that pixel-saver is at 4.0+git20210323-0ubuntu1~focal on my home computer, I get the same « wrong » behavior with styling in Adapta.
At least we have a culprit.
So this is with :
I’d expect something more like :
Here is Firefox, but same happens with Gimp, LibreOffice or Nemo.
And I can also confirm it’s pixel-saver / without theme styling styling which forces to have at least a 42px top panel. It’s very noticeable with « highlighted » tabs of Firefox or Thunderbird.
Other side-note : regarding how different gtk styles handle applet styling differently.
show-desktop-applet as an example.
In Adapta(DeepOrange ) : its color is by default light grey, white on hovering, and orange when clicked ( to remind you minimize all your windows ).
In Vimix-dark-ruby : it’s always white.
The two styles also apply different « spacing » around its icon.
I guess the color change is expected as a feature of the applet. I don’t know which « spacing » is the correct one.
And pixel-saver as another example :
In vimix it makes no difference to use it with or without « Use Theme Styling », buttons always look like this in pixel-saver
while they look like this in window bar
…ok it’s subtle difference but why is there one after all ?
So what changed in pixel-saver from 4.0+git20200313-0ubuntu1+build1~focal
to 4.0+git20210323-0ubuntu1~focal
