|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To build the theme the following packages are required
|
||
|
|
* `autoconf`
|
||
|
|
* `automake`
|
||
|
|
* `sassc` for GTK 3, Cinnamon, or GNOME Shell
|
||
|
|
* `pkg-config` or `pkgconfig` for Fedora
|
||
|
|

|
|
The following packages are optionally required

|
|
* `gnome-shell`for auto-detecting the GNOME Shell version
|
||
|
|
* `libgtk-3-dev` for Debian based distros or `gtk3-devel` for RPM based distros, for auto-detecting the GTK3 version
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Note:** For distributions which don't ship separate development packages, just the GTK 3 package is needed instead of the `-dev` packages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the theme to function properly, install the following
|
||
|
|
* GNOME Shell 3.18 - 3.32, GTK 3.18 - 3.24
|
||
|
|
* The `gnome-themes-extra` package

|
* `gtk-engine-murrine` (Arch Linux)
|
||
|
|
* `gtk2-engines-murrine` (Debian, Ubuntu, elementary OS)
|
||
|
|
* `gtk-murrine-engine` (Fedora)
|
||
|
|
* `gtk2-engine-murrine` (openSUSE)
