Gruvbox GTK Theme

A GTK theme based on the colours of Sainnhe's great theme: Gruvbox Material for Neovim, the VinceLiuice's awesome: Graphite GTK theme and the creativity of Ggusbemacbe's: Suru Plus Icon Theme.
Great to combine in your Gnome Desktop Environment and TWMs like: XmonadWM, AwesomeWM, BSPWM, etc... With support also for the desktop environments Cinnamon and XFCE.
You can check Reddit: r/unixporn to get some ideas.

Installing Themes

Before installing, make sure to install the Murrine Engine and gnome-themes-extra packages for the correct rendering of themes.

Here are some commands to install on some distributions.

On Fedora run: sudo dnf install gtk-murrine-engine
On OpenSUSE run: sudo zypper install gtk2-engine-murrine
On Arch run: sudo pacman -S gtk-engine-murrine
On Debian and derivatives run: sudo apt install gtk2-engines-murrine

The themes work on versions 40 to 43 of the GNOME D.E. just follow the steps below for installation:

Download the themes packs and extract them
Move the extracted files to the following paths:
- For GTK3: ~/.themes In this path you must move the entire theme folder.
- For GTK4: ~/.config/gtk-4.0 The files to move to this path can be found inside the theme directory in the gtk-4.0 folder, copy only the assets, gtk.css and gtk-dark.css files or create a symlinks.

Applying the themes

For GTK3, apply themes from Gnome Tweaks.
For GTK4 applications it is only necessary to have moved the assets, gtk.css and gtk-dark.css files to the ~/.config/gtk-4.0 path, and if you notice that the theme has not been applied, just close and reopen the application.

Flatpak

Applying GTK Themes to Flatpak Apps
- Override flatpak themes to ~/.themes: sudo flatpak override --filesystem=$HOME/.themes
- Override flatpak icons to ~/.icons: sudo flatpak override --filesystem=$HOME/.icons
- Override flatpak themes to ~/.config/gtk-4.0 locally: flatpak override --user --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-4.0
- Override flatpak themes to ~/.config/gtk-4.0 globally: sudo flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-4.0
- Alternative Flatpak Theming: stylepak

Clarifying some doubts.

This is just to clarify doubts about the abbreviations of the Themes, as many found the names confusing.

Abbreviation example	Explanation of abbreviations
Theme-Name-B	Theme with `Border` decoration
Theme-Name-B-LB	Theme with `Border` decoration and `Legacy Buttons` in Windows
Theme-Name-B-GS	Theme with `Border` decoration for `Gnome Shell`
Theme-Name-BL	Theme `Borderless` decoration
Theme-Name-BL-LB	Theme `Borderless` decoration and `Legacy Buttons` in Windows
Theme-Name-BL-GS	Theme `Borderless` decoration for `Gnome Shell`

Special thanks.

Thanks to @f1yn for the solution to the active and inactive borders in the new version of Cinnamon which no longer uses Metacity.

Thanks to @telometto for the alternative for the application of themes in Flatpak.
