Plano: A Beautiful Flat Theme for GNOME and Xfce

Brief: Here’s a beautiful looking flat GTK theme for GNOME and Xfce desktop environments.

GNOME is in the spotlight nowadays. With Ubuntu, one of the most popular distros, choosing GNOME over its homegrown Unity, I suppose a little extra attention is to be expected.

Personally, next to Unity (yes next to Unity, Unity is love) GNOME is my favorite desktop environment. GNOME is stable, smart, it’s something that’s evolving, it’s customizable with a ton of extensions and has a huge variety of themes.

Speaking of themes, the diversity of themes GNOME has, is really mindblowing. The range is so huge that everybody will find a theme that they’ll not only like but love.

And for those of you who like something subtle with just the right amount of modern look, I present Plano GTK theme. Plano is modern alright. But it holds back just the right amount when showing off the bling. Plano comes with a decent color scheme. There are no elements with colors that are so bright that it’s distracting. The theme looks up to date, elegant and adds a sense of calm.

In addition to GNOME, Plano GTK theme looks really good on Cinnamon, Mate, Xfce, and Lxde. So even if you use other desktop environments, give it a try.
