A look at past themes

Thinking about a theme for the upcoming EasyOS Scarthgap-series version 6.0, I might resurrect a theme from the past. Here are blog posts showing old themes:

Some of those are, how shall I say, vivid. This time, might go for something innocuous, perhaps the "EasyBlue" theme from Easy 3.3.

Bringing the record of themes up-to-date, Easy Kirkstone-series 5.x has this theme:

/root/.packages/default-theme has this:

DEFAULT_THEME_GTK2='gtk_2_3_theme_flat-light-orange-brown:FlatLightOrangeBrown'
DEFAULT_THEME_GTK3='gtk_2_3_theme_flat-light-orange-brown:FlatLightOrangeBrown'
DEFAULT_THEME_JWM='jwm3_theme_light-orange-brown:LightOrangeBrown'
DEFAULT_THEME_WALLPAPER='desk_background_pale-orange-brown-red:very-pale-orange-red-easyos.png'
DEFAULT_THEME_DESK_ICONS='desk_icon_theme_very-light-orange:VeryLightOrange'
DEFAULT_THEME_ROX_TEXT_FOREGROUND='#15150b0b0000' #very dark brown
DEFAULT_THEME_ROX_TEXT_SHADOW='0' #0=none
DEFAULT_THEME_ROX_TEXT_FONT='Open Sans Semi-Bold 11'
DEFAULT_THEME_XORG_TEXT_DPI=102

QV (Quirky Void) has this theme:

File 'default-theme':

DEFAULT_THEME_GTK2='gtk_2_3_theme_flat-grey-rounded2:flat-grey-rounded2'
DEFAULT_THEME_GTK3='gtk_2_3_theme_flat-grey-rounded2:flat-grey-rounded2'
DEFAULT_THEME_JWM='jwm3_theme_easygrey:EasyGrey'
DEFAULT_THEME_WALLPAPER='desk_background_galah_pink_grey1:galah-pink-grey1.jpg'
DEFAULT_THEME_DESK_ICONS='desk_icon_theme_treepata_black_pinkish:treepata-black-pinkish'
DEFAULT_THEME_ROX_TEXT_FOREGROUND='#15150b0b0000' #very dark brown
DEFAULT_THEME_ROX_TEXT_SHADOW='0' #0=none
DEFAULT_THEME_ROX_TEXT_FONT='Open Sans Semi-Bold 13'
DEFAULT_THEME_XORG_TEXT_DPI=102
#20240117 3buildeasydistro: write these into /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini:
# ${DEFAULT_THEME_GTK3##*:} and
DEFAULT_GTK3_FONT_NAME='Open Sans Semibold 13'
#20240118 set to one of these: blue green grey orange (default orange)
DEFAULT_THEME_BASE_COLOR='grey'

It takes awhile to figure out a new theme, so yes, will probably go for reusing an old one.
