Description

The Pop GTK theme is a new theme put out by the folks at System76.

Open Source: Yes, GPL-2.0
Why it should be included: System76 wants to put a polished theme together for its users. Therefore it will be a good-looking theme that will always be in active development. As always it is nice to have more theming options within the official repo. It is a fork of Adapta, so a yml file should look very similar.

Event Timeline

I'll watch for it's inclusion into other repositories.

Weird name, when you consider evopop.

Hello everybody. I am not sure if this counts as a valid change for the 2-distro rule, but now that the pop!_os is announced, will it be enough for the theme to be included ? Thanks!

@unTanana No. And it's just a fork of Adapta with color changes, there really isn't any value-add here. And seeing as there has been a multitude of changes upcoming in Budgie, Pop GTK Theme wouldn't display correctly and almost certainly lead to a negative experience for users of our most popular (and primary) edition, which can't be said for Adapta..

Copying @ikey 's comment from T4034:

System76 hasn't clarified whether they determine this a branding asset or not. Given this is the flagship theme for their new distro
I'd like clarification on that position before it was considered for inclusion into the repository. i.e. I don't want to get 5 months down
the line and have someone sending me emails because their open source theme was exclusive for something else.

Disclaimer: No, I have idea how that works, if its actually supportable, and I've had this in the past for a Numix based theme. Would like to continue covering my ass.

@JoshStrobl with the loss of Adapta maintainership, would it be possible to consider this for packaging again? As far as Ikey's comment, could I just open an issue on their github to see if its possible to repackage it for Solus? The AUR currently has it packaged.

This isn't going into the repo. Our response from clear back in 2017 and they don't have Budgie support.

This task has been locked.
