Redmond97-SE is a living continuation of the now unmaintained Redmond 97.

"Redmond" style themes for GTK, Xfce, Metacity, WINE.

Includes both old-school retro variants to emulate Win9x/2000/XP, plus more modern darks for the productivity-focused desktop.

AUR packaging for Arch Linux just dropped.

Great theme! Tho I would probably put the original on the highlight, that dark mode looks lame.

This theme is the one used in my recent unixporn screenshot.

Thank you for throwing this into AUR. Doubly so if you are the same person who sent two pull requests on its Git repo recently.

I'm not the actual theme maintainer but I'm sure they would be receptive of PRs.

I guess the easiest would be using Kvantum to port the existing GTK theme if anyone is up for it.
