Numix is a modern flat theme with a combination of light and dark elements. It supports Gnome, Unity, XFCE and Openbox.
Numix is a part of the [Numix Project](http://numixproject.org).
### Manual installation
First, you need to compile the theme using the [Sass](http://sass-lang.com/) compiler.
To install Sass, install ruby and the gem command using your distro's package manager. Then install `sass` with the `gem` command,
`gem install sass`
You'll also need the following commands in your path to generate the gresource binary. Install them using your distro's package manager.
* `glib-compile-schemas`
* `gdk-pixbuf-pixdata`
After installing all the dependencies, switch to the cloned directory and, run the following in Terminal,
```sh
make
sudo make install
```
To set the theme in Gnome, run the following commands in Terminal,
```sh
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "Numix"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme "Numix"
```
To set the theme in Xfce, run the following commands in Terminal,
```sh
xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName -s "Numix"
xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/theme -s "Numix"
```
### For developers
If you want to hack on the theme, make sure you have the `inotifywait` command available, which is used for watching and automatically building the files.
To start watching for changes, run the following,
```sh
make watch
```
If you change any assets, you'll need to regenerate the `gtk.gresource.xml` and `gtk.gresource` files. You can use [grrr](https://github.com/satya164/grrr) to do it easily.
