Faience 3.6 Gnome Shell theme

This post was made with another stylesheet and it might be messed up!

Erabong did the trick again and ported Tiheum’s popular Faience GS theme to version 3.6. There is no design evolution for this almost perfect theme as Tiheum doesn’t have the time to work on it, so expect the exact same theme that you had on 3.2 and 3.4.

Faience doesn’t change your desktop dramatically but its more elegant smaller panel and the lightly transparent elements on the pop-ups and calendar/menus/notifications make the difference.

 

As the GTK2/GTK3 themes that would come later never came, you can currently use it with the default Adwaita just fine and wait till Zukitwo is ported. To install this theme, follow the instructions of our guide.

    Anyone knows what’s up with Tiheum? He has quit? Nice theme btw!

      Tiheum said 2 months ago: “I am in standby for the moment. Some significant (and exciting) changes in my life allow me very little time to work on my own projects. But I do not abandon them”

    Is that Faenza icon theme I assume? I noticed in Gnome 3.6 that Faenza is a bit broken, lots of missing icons. Been using Faience but some of the icons do not look right on the black background of the menus.. Tiheum come back!! lol

      Gnome Shell theme != icon theme. For the record faenza icon theme works just fine for me.

        I am well aware icon sets are not the same as shell themes.. however there are broken icons in gnome 3.6 sadly.. open system settings. =P

    Hello,
    Actually, some new versions of Faenza and Faience (both icons
    and GS/GTK themes) are on the way since a few weeks, as I have a little
    more spare time to spend for them ;)
    I hope to release them soon and
    you will like the new Faience Gnome-Shell theme (which is very different
    from the initial one, but more consistent with the GTK3 theme I develop).

    • Michael Mistretta
