Gtk 3 Theme

Trisquel's Gtk theme appears to be based on the BlueMenta theme, modified to use the window buttons of the Greybird theme. However, the Gtk 3 window buttons are actually still BlueMenta's. In MATE, this is usually not noticeable, because the window manager uses the Metacity window buttons. However, applications which use client-side decoration use the Gtk 3 window buttons, so they do not match the rest of the desktop. In order to avoid cosmetic issues like this,

someone who understands Gtk themes needs to modify the Trisquel theme to use Greybird's Gtk 3 window buttons.

Furthermore, applications with client-side decorations are inconsistent even with the Greybird theme. The window button images match, but the spacing is different,

possibly due to the box that appears around each window button when hovered over with the mouse, so additional work may be needed to avoid this.

Notes

making a local repo with reprepro
$ sudo apt install reprepro
$ mkdir REPO
$ cd REPO
$ mkdir conf

### edit the file "conf/distributions" to contain:

Origin: Trisquel
Label: Trisquel
Codename: etiona
Architectures: amd64
Components: main
UDebComponents: main
Description: Trisquel packages
SignWith: $YOURGPGKEY

$ reprepro includeudeb etiona /path/to/file.udeb

generating a list of missing packages on a Trisquel 9 system
$ sudo apt update
$ git clone https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/package-helpers.git
$ cd package-helpers/helpers
$ git checkout etiona
and run the following script:
#!/bin/bash
for package in $(ls make-* | sed 's/make-//g'); do
in_repo=$(apt showsrc $package 2>/dev/null | grep ^Package:)
if [[ ! $in_repo ]]; then
echo $package
fi
done
