I got invited to Dribbble recently! You can follow me there now: dribbble.com/0rax0

Today was the day I fancied  both to continue and discontinue Nord after a long hiatus.

Because I wasn't around theming in the 3.10 cycle I missed and forgot that the border-image property no longer works everywhere; making the refresh I put so much effort into to bring to Nord 1.8 utterly useless and sadly might be ending the journey for the most popular GS theme in dA.

Unfortunately, the CSS capabilities in GS were far too limited to begin with so I can't even replicate the graphics with a mere box-shadow, which can be used only once, and without images I'm only left with the option to simply recolor and keep it simple ... totally not my style.

One option I see is to learn JS and extension-making and extend the theming capabilities (I think it can be done) but I'm far less experienced right now and the ones who can do it are making pretty unimaginative extensions (no offense).

I still have some ideas to test but currently making Nord 1.12 like I designed it last year is NOT possible. I'll consider some modifications but that would probably suck.

Lastly, I'm not saying this for you to hate on GNOME, I don't know what motivated them to cripple it and I want to know why but I respect the excellent effort they put into the releases. This post is an announcement and an explanation not intended to spark a hate war on anyone. So keep that in mind while commenting , please.

Hello, people!

I've announced earlier that the eOS theme would be on Github for any brave should to help update it, unfortunately no one came forward. I've received one note about an effort being made, while I thank that person for trying it wasn't enough to keep it updated.

Now has taken that job and already released it:

                                       <da:thumb id="402527960"/>

Any future updates will be provided by him only.

I have finally been able to setup Git in Android (aka my only way of using the Internet ATM): github.com/0rAX0/gnome-shell-t…


Please do your magic.


I'll do some cleanups when I have the time.

First, let me apologize for the lack of updates this cycle. To put it simply, I'm bored. Bored and burned out.

I have tried to get to work as soon as I updated my install but I got other stuff to do and realized that I'm not a fan of the process(of updating) anymore. Among other things.

Fortunately, I had an epiphany -- sort-of and decided to experiment a bit with Nord, so I ended up refreshing its design and getting interested in it again.

Nord is almost done. Updating Sud should be easy enough too as I'm making them even more similar.

As for eOS, the elementary-inspired theme, I'm thinking about retiring from maintaining it and let the community do the job. I'll just be "the designer" and do quality checks(you can trust me with that, right?) and other wonderfully awesome activities like accepting pull requests and releasing it periodically here on dA. Please keep in mind that this is not a final decision, but it's highly likely to happen; the reason for doing so is because I'm merely converting what elementary's designers are doing into GS code, which is work I'm not meant to do. I just like to design my own stuff. On the bright side, I'll get a free slot for something else...or two...

Finally, these plans will take off as soon as I'm back online(taking a long break from the Internet atm)...

Cheers.
