Deep Dark

Logo

Deep Dark is a flat theme with transparent elements for GTK 3 and Gnome-Shell which supports GTK 3 based desktop environments like Gnome.

Why Deep Dark?

For me a deep dark color is more elegant and aesthetic, can be a perfect complement to the type comfy desktops. For some it may not seem like a big change but it makes the difference.
