The Shameless Plug Thread -Post your work

Interesting I had to open an account in order to download your theme .... but I have it now and will check it out later ..... thank you

You could have just used apt.

sudo apt update && sudo apt install antares

Because I now have to have Windows 11 installed as dual boot, I booted up Windows 11 and went crazy with the desktop.

Antares theme- nice one, you really made a great one this time.
That contrast of blue fonts and black, also like the blue outlining, looks good in gimp and inkscape. :clap: :clap:

It took me long enough...

Interesting ..... I put the extracted folder into the .theme folder and opened it up in systems settings/themes but the only one it displayed in is the Window Boarders .... using Cinnamon DE

That one is an Alternate Window Border. Please rename that theme folder in ~/.themes to Antares1
Then, in terminal, install the full theme:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt install antares

Then reopen the settings manager in Cinnamon and it all should show up.

If it cannot locate the package:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:aravisian/gtk-theming

Then install the theme...

I am currently in the process of making a new Icon set, as well that may compliment Antares. Or something.
