#### Maintainer Needed! Please leave a comment in "Maintainer Needed!" issue if you're intrested
Fork of the Default Gtk+ Stylesheet for elementary OS with OS X window controls
The forked Gtk.CSS stylesheet with OS X window controls is designed specifically for [elementary OS](https://elementary.io) and its desktop environment: Pantheon. **Since Gtk.CSS has changed quite a bit, this stylesheet only supports Gtk >= 3.22**
#### Elementary-X is available in two variants
##### Dark Variant
##### Light Variant

#### TO-DO
Here is the link to the trello board for the project > [board](https://trello.com/b/hEsKYAOa).
### Contributing
This stylesheet doesn't need to be compiled. It is recommended to make a
symbolic link from the source directory to "/usr/share/themes" for testing:
ln -s /path/to/your/branch /usr/share/themes/
Apps will need to be restarted or the system stylesheet will need to be
changed for your changes to take effect.
You can also test changes live with Gtk Inspector. Make sure you have Gtk
development libraries installed:
sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev
Open an app you wish to test your changes on. Open Gtk Inspector with the
keyboard shortcut Shift + Ctrl + D, then navigate to the tab "Custom CSS".
Your changes here will take immediate effect on the focused app.
### Todo
* Merge https://github.com/elementary/stylesheet/pull/381
