@ksangers @techguy16 you guys were doing some work on trying to provide gtk2 support for adw-gtk3 in lassekongo83/adw-gtk3#226 and lassekongo83/adw-gtk3#209

as you can see i've done some work on this repo to use as a sort of plugin/complement to gradience to provide themeing of gtk2 for programs that still use it, like gimp or steam, as for the gtk2 theme i'm currently using the one from https://github.com/molotov-dmitry/adw-gtk2 but as you can see there are some small problems, first is that the theme is more of a clearlooks old adwaita gtk2 than a proper match to adw-gtk3, the other more pressing is that the repo doesn't specify a license...

so i was thinking if we can collaborate and build a theme that more closely matches the visual style of adw-gtk3 with easy to recolor assets (of course svgs and render them with rendsvg).

Thanks for checking up, but I've abandoned trying to get gtk2 support into any repo's.

@ksangers thanks for checking my repo, as for what i'll do i've been looking into building a theme that doesn't use image assets and stumbled upon a murrine based theme that i'm going to modify to use the correct color paletter to match adw and adw dark.

I'll see as I am using more GTK3 apps now so it doesn't affect me much (other than VLC, which would be nice to have a theme for)

Gimp and steam (the tray menu thing) are the bane of having to have a gtk2 theme so they look properly.

As said my plan is to use the murrine engine based gtkrc, properly apply the colorscheme from adw-gkt3 and then just adjust my colorize script if necesary, which may not be necessary.

welp, it is now a more or less proper gtk2 theme.
