  • How do you get Plata-Noir and Plata-Noir-Compact on Tumbleweed?
    1 project | /r/openSUSE | 7 Feb 2023
    You can find plata here, i dont no if plata-noir or compact are part of that package. btw, it looks like plata hasn’t been updated for two years, maybe consider another more recent theme.
  • Could I propose to maintain Plata?
    2 projects | /r/SolusProject | 17 Dec 2022
    I think we might have a misunderstanding on our hands here. The problem is not that the Plata package for Solus is no longer maintained, but that the Plata project itself (which is/was independent from Solus) sees no more development. So stepping up would mean to take care and update the Plata theme itself, with all that entails. There have been at least two efforts to revive it, but I think both are on hold at the moment. To help out, or start your own continuation of Plata, you'd need to fork the upstream Plata project and update the GTK theme to be compatible with new versions of GNOME shell, Budgies, etc.

  • [Question] What are some of the most usable GTK Themes?
    5 projects | /r/UsabilityPorn | 23 Feb 2021
    I'd recommend plata. It has a material style design with very good contrast on both light and dark themes. It also has a compact variant. It is the default theme of solus.
  • Global uniform style

    I use plata-theme for GTK, it can be configured by 4 key colors, then it derives everything else from those key colors, I use the same colors for Sway, Wofi, Mako, Waybar .. etc. The result of the overall system looks very consistent.
