We are sorry. We simply don't have the time to re-write everything, At the current moment.

Vivacious Colors GTK is an modern theme with a new GTK 3 code-base that inherits the look and feel of Ambiance & Radaince Flat Colors.
However being based on a new code base it can preform better and look nicer in some areas compared to Ambiance Flat Colors.
Flat Colors being based on the aging and sometimes quirky Ambiance code base.
Ambiance uses images to draw buttons for example where as this theme and many others use flexible CSS code.

We include: GTK 2, 3, XFWM, OpenBox, Metacity, Cinnamon, GnomeShell, Unity themes and more in this suite.

Theme Requires about 107 MB of disk space.

- Adds New Unity desktop specific build/package (Vivacious-Unity Light & Dark) Allowing us to not compromise other desktops look and feel to make Unity work/look good.

16.04.3  - Fixes Flat Edit-able buttons to show hover and pressed state (Unity Tweak, Gnome User Add. etc)

 - Makes border around popup menus contrast better (no more lost popups.)
