Help with monochrome KDE GTK2/3 Theme

Hello everyone. I really liked this global theme Patrik Wyde / monochrome-kde · GitLab. but i couldnt build the gtk theme, I followed the instructions shown. but when I run the install.sh get this error:

[guillo@guillo-nitroan51544 ~]$ cd breeze-gtk/src/   
[guillo@guillo-nitroan51544 src]$ sudo sh build_theme.sh -c Monochrome -t /usr/share/themes/Monochrome
[sudo] contraseña para guillo:
sh: build_theme.sh: No such file or directory

tried the same, but with build_theme.sh.cmake, but I get a different error:

[guillo@guillo-nitroan51544 src]$ sudo sh build_theme.sh.cmake -c Monochrome -t /usr/share/themes/Monochrome
build_theme.sh.cmake: line 45: @PYTHON_EXECUTABLE@: command not found

how can I build this gtk theme? looking at the dates, the project seems to be dropped, so I don’t expect a reply any time soon.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

There is no build_theme.sh. Try reading the installation instructions again. :wink:

EDIT: See below.

@Yochanan He/she are talking about this part:


@guillopacheco I can replicate the issue. Follow these steps to successfully build it:

sudo pacman -S cairo python-cairo libsass sassc breeze breeze-gtk git base-devel --needed
git clone https://anongit.kde.org/breeze-gtk.git
cd breeze-gtk/src/
sed -i 's/@PYTHON_EXECUTABLE@/\/usr\/bin\/python/g' build_theme.sh.cmake
sudo sh build_theme.sh.cmake -c Monochrome -t /usr/share/themes/Monochrome

Tl;dr replace @PYTHON_EXECUTABLE@ with /usr/bin/python in build_theme.sh.cmake.

Screenshot (totally unnecessary but why not ;):

Ah, I see.

It’s in the extra repo: :wink:

We are trying to …

… Build and install the breeze-gtk GTK2/3 theme with the :point_right:Monochrome KDE colour scheme :point_left:

…and not just install breeze-gtk theme.

…but that repo is just KDE’s breeze-gtk, right?

Clone the breeze-gtk repository with command below.

$ git clone https://anongit.kde.org/breeze-gtk.git

That redirects to Plasma / Breeze for GTK · GitLab
