Does anyone know a polar night theme alternative without the bluish hightlight? I like the closing icons very much, but the blue is a killer for night work.

There are a few alternatives to the polar night theme:
Alternatively, you could also replace the theme colors (warning: can be lengthy and boring process). These are defined by hex strings such as #8EC3EB
. So you can search
To do this a while ago I created a rough script to find them in files - it can be found here and can be used like this:
find /home/wilf/Downloads/polar-night-master/ -type f -exec /path/to/scriptfolder/grephexcolourcode {} \; | sort -u
Where /home/wilf/Downloads/polar-night-master/
is where the theme files are located, and /path/to/scriptfolder/grephexcolourcode
is where the script is located (or just grephexcolourcode
if it is in the $PATH
).
You can then replace the colours using sed
or similar - e.g:
sed -i 's/#8EC3EB/#EB8E8E/g' /path/to/theme/file
Or using find and replace in a program such as Gedit, BLuefish etc
An alternative is to use a normal dark theme (usually blueish - I use Arc-Darker), and then on top of that at night use something like redshift-gtk to make it more bearable at night. You can launch it with a command similar too:
redshift-gtk -l 55.7:12.6 -t 5700:3600 -g 0.8 -m randr -v
It will automatically change to be more red at night. This covers the entire screen, so works too with light areas themes can't effect easily (e.g. most webpages, documents etc) but due to blue light being filtered blue things will turn dark so not ideal for graphics work or some themes.
