Equilux

https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1182169/

Description:

The Equilux themes provide a neutral dark-balanced color-scheme not designed to be fancy, but to be useful for a few specific goals.

  • Minimize eye strain: when you pass many hours in front of the screen or you are hyper-sensitive to light, saturation and contrast, your eyes will benefit from a dull UI

  • Avoid disrupting your circadian rhythms: a neutral color-cast-free UI helps your body to produce enough melatonin at night time and sleep better, working nicely with software like f.lux, redshift, NightLight, …

  • Professional use in image editing, graphic design, 3D rendering: in that fields any color cast or excessive contrast, brightness or darkness introduced by the UI would affect the overall perception of the color and balance of the images

  • You may just like it: even if the style is not the main goal, many people find that its very clean and minimalistic UI looks cool and professional

This theme is based on the Materia Theme.
