Is there a simple way to generate the Inkscape assets with a different accent color? I could not figure it out in a decent amount of time.

I just created a different color palette in constants.py and copied one of the folders in src/Mint-Y/variations and renamed it. It worked, but obviously the colors of the assets are not correct and I could not find a script the generate them. Is there a way?

On the first time, you must run ./update-variations.py All from your terminal, in the mint-themes directory. Later, you can replace All with one specific color name like Blue for quick testing.

More info here: https://github.com/SebastJava/mint-yz-theme/blob/master/Do-It-Yourself.md But this may not be up-to-date. This repository is currently going through a major overhaul and it is now messy, and incomplete.

Oops:

With this Mint-Yz fork here, building Mint-Y-Colors is now 100% automated. As of August 2020, the following directories have to be edited by hand on the official Mint-Y:

  • gtk-2.0/menubar-toolbar/
  • gtk-3.0/thumbnails/
  • cinnamon/thumbnails/
  • xfwm4/ (3 colored assets)

That's not ready yet. Anyway, at least you can use my guide to understand how most things work.

Thanks, I don't know how I overlooked that script in the project's root dir. Thanks!
