This is my perfect theme.

In my opinion buttons and menus must have a convex gradient (light top, dark bottom) lighter or darker than the background. As we are used to convex buttons in real life. Text and number fields must be concave on the other hand, and be lighter than the background and the text must be black as we are used to write on a light surface with dark ink. And concave input fields represent a placeholder for the data, which is very logical. With all that said, it’s very easy for the eyes and brain to identify the interface elements with their purpose. All that flatty inverted themes force you to eye-search the interface and the default one is too contrast also.
I took the Deep Grey theme from one the users and reworked it a little bit. It has a very pleasant contrast for the eyes and every interface element is very distinguishable from each other.
Hope you’ll like it!

Really love this look Martin! It’s been my default for a few months now. Thanks.

Seems like i can’t edit the post so here is a new version:

Note: I give the last selection color the same color like the regular selection if someone want to change it you can tweak this in the theme settings here in 3dview:

Hi man; I really like your theme; Have you updated it?

New important changes affect this theme. Going much darker, removing the bright frames, and recover the embos effect for the buttons. I’m happy with what I have, but still need to fix other menus.

I don’t like Light Fresh , It’s so shine to my eyes. Could you please tell me how to change to Dark ? I like Dark Fresh.

Thanks.

Your Volcano theme looks very cosy. In a way, it makes me think of Christmas. Maybe you could update it.

I hope somebody make this template or something like this for 2.8. I love it.

As usual in my life, I’m late to the party. Here is my theme, It’s called Purgatory, because I spent days procrastinating (picking perfect colors of gray) hesitant to finalize multiple projects =)).

The concept behind it is maximum practicality and focus. I really like dark themes, but they make me sleepy after long use and I can’t see a thing during the day. I like neutral gray colors in UI, not too dark to work during the day time, not too bright during the night, don’t drag attention from the center of the screen. Hell, even my custom Windows theme is gray. Perfect for a nerd spending days in viewports.

Main colors are shades of gray, bright white and pure black colors for text and icons, saturated orange color for highlights. I also don’t like thick vertices, so they are set to the value of 2. I also like to see all the active mesh elements separately, so vertices have yellow color upon selection, edges are red, while faces are orange. Active elements of the mesh in edit mode are highlighted by blue, this way they’re always visible in every mode. Display wire is dark-blue. Active objects are highlighted by orange colors and selected objects are white.

Grid is white and semi-transparent, because if you change Grid color to black the axis colors will turn dark and barely visible.

I’ve taken a slightly different approach and have angled for a theme that’s specifically geared to work well when printed or displayed on an e-ink screen (for books and print-based documentation). The idea is to retain the spirit of the default 2.80 theme, but light and with high contrast for clearly legible text.

It could use a few tweaks (like removing the drop-shadow on the text overlay in the 3D Viewport, but for the most part, I think it’s working relatively well: print-friendly.xml

I’ve tested it on an e-ink screen (Remarkable tablet) and it seems to read well.
