GTK non-buggy dark theme (gnome 3.12)

Any recommendation for a good dark theme? The builtin dark adwaita doesn't do anything for GTK2. I have tried some other themes, but they all have a bug of some sort. For example, I tried DeLorean-dark-3.10, but it hides my background (I assume it's because I use gnome 3.12).

I'm not very picky: if I don't like the theme's color, i'm willing to change it myself. I'd just like to find a non-buggy dark theme to start from. Suggestions?

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/numix-frost-themes

Has both light and dark variants in that same package.  Works with the current GNOME, among others, until the GNOME developers put out another very very minor point release that seems to break all non-Adwaita themes yet again and again.

I'm using https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk- … latstudio/ . Not completely sure of the gnome 3,12 thing though, since I'm using xfce4 under https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk3-noforcedcsd/ .

Numix seems to work pretty well.

You have to remember that not all the theme designers are using GNOME 3.12 (not that many are using 3.10 for that matter) so working dark themes for 3.12 are in short supply.

Gnomishdark works well with 3.12

My favorite themer left us a collection of fantastic Mire GTK3 themes in an assortment of colors.  There's also a port of her Dyne theme as well.

I don't use a dark theme, but zen-gtk-themes comes with a few variations (including dark) and I think it's a good GTK2/GTK3 theme.

Numix or numix-archblue are both fantastic. The numix icon themes, circle being my favorite, are also amazing quality

Thanks. I have Numix and Xfce-dusk set together for Gtk3 and Gtk2 respectively (done though gtk-chtheme).

I compared some in this ol' thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=157147

I ended up with a slightly customized copy+paste hybrid of flatstudio and equinox since then. If you take a look at both themes and play around with them a bit, you should be able to adjust them to fit your needs almost perfectly.
