Amigo, can you take a look for this bug:
www.dailymotion.com/video/x228…
Gnome 3.12 has some nice features (e.g. flat tab view, popups, etc.), are/have you bringing this to Orion?
By the way, can you write a good tutorial of how to make these good themes?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Those are elementary-xfce icons github.com/shimmerproject/elem…
If you use Ubuntu, it's available in the default repos.
And you should check Numix. It's something entirely different
When will Orion be updated for gtk 3.8? I'm having to manually downgrade packages in arch... not a huge problem, but would love to see it happen.
