eOSdock-themeswitcher

To use with eOS new dock in elementary OS 8 (Circe)

Eventually i would like to do the following

• The 2000s: A very frutiger aero spin with all the 3D
  
• Aqua: A old nostalgic MacOS. However from playing with zoom-magnification, i wont be able to redo that
  
• Princess Eyebleed: something flashy and pastelly and bright because why not
  

I dont want all this i want the Classic plank theme !

One-liner. Paste this in a terminal

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/teamcons/eOSdock-themeswitcher/refs/heads/main/themes/Classic.css >> ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css && killall io.elementary.dock

By default the dock is partially transparent, if you just want it opaque you can go

echo "dock {opacity: 1;}" >>  ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css && killall io.elementary.dock

Usage:

To set theme.css as the current dock theme

eOSdock-themeswitcher.sh ./themes/theme.css

No argument, to revert to default

eOSdock-themeswitcher.sh

you can then run

killall io.elementary.dock

to restart the dock. Or log out and in again

The file doesnt overwrite gtk.css, and reverts to default without leaving anything else.
This is per user, and does not require sudo

i would do the killall in the script if somehow that didnt crash my session everytime i tried

Application.css is the default. It is taken from elementaryOS source code itself and is present as example https://github.com/elementary/dock/blob/main/data/Application.css

Feel free to submit pull requests with your themes. Im happy to host neat stuff

I just want to set the transparency

Also i did another to set transparency. It overrides whatever value a theme may set if you call it afterward

eOSdock-set-transparency.sh

Give any integer between 0 and 100.
Any other value just reset to default (60)

By default the dock is partially transparent, if you just want it opaque you can go

echo "dock {opacity: 1;}" >>  ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css && killall io.elementary.dock

THEMES

Classic
Attempt at mimicking the old Plank dock. It isnt complete, but damn good looking

Stellas Tweaks
Shadows behind icons. Accent color in running indicator. Icon up on hover

The 2000s
An attempt at funky 3D

Whatever
I dont know. It looks neat.

Lots of lines, similar to early Mac OS X
