Questioner Info

Description

Hi, everyone! First of all, thanks for the great theme!

Could you please suggest a font setup to use with the Materia GTK theme? For example:

• Interface Text: Noto Sans Regular 11
• Document Text: Sans Regular 11
• Monospace Text: Hack Regular 11
• Legacy Window Titles: Cantarell Bold 11

README.md just says:

Recommendations

Font

• To properly display the theme, use a font family including Medium weight (e.g. Roboto or M+).
• Set the font size to 9.75 (= 13px at 96dpi) or 10.5 (= 14px at 96dpi).

Sorry, but for me that is somehow vague... maybe a screenshot, such as the one I did, would help more.

Thanks!

I'm using roboto 10.5 with regular, medium,bold mixing. If you see the [gnome-shell/gnome-shell.css], you can find the default fonts for gnome-shell are [font-family: "M+ 1c", Roboto, Cantarell, Sans-Serif] with 10.5pt. AFAIK, the font is ordered in their priority. Because I'm lazy and I don't install mplus font, I just follow the pre-defined setting.

@vinyanalista the recommended font in README.md is if you want to tweak GNOME Shell, not GTK applications _("Interface Text")_. Be aware though that Shell fonts will be useless in GNOME 3.36 as the Shell theme will follow default GTK fonts, which is a good change imho.

FYI when I use Materia I set these fonts:
- Interface Text: Roboto 11
- Document Text: Roboto Slab 11
- Monospace Text: Roboto Mono Medium 11 _(size 9 in terminal)_
- Legacy Window Titles: Roboto Bold 11

Thanks, @DarthWound, the theme looks great with your suggestion!

I also thank you for Materia Kolorizer and Papirus Kolorizer. On my screenshot you can see the Materia theme customized with openSUSE colors.

For Materia, I just changed:

readonly AccentColorLight="00A489"
readonly AccentColorDark="35B9AB"

And for Papirus:

readonly FrontColor="00A489"
readonly BackColor="006655"

Keep up the good work!
