Moka Themes and Icons on Fedora 20

The Moka themes that are installed by default via fedy are obsolete.  The current Moka project repositories can be found at http://mokaproject.com/ .

First, install the repository:
su -c "yum-config-manager --add-repo http://mokaproject.com/packages/rpm/moka-stable.repo"
Then you can install the individual parts.
  • faba-icon-theme
  • faba-mono-icons
  • (these are supplemental icons)
  • moka-icon-theme
  • moka-gnome-shell-theme
  • orchis-gtk-theme
  • (requires the Murrine, but it is likely installed: yum search gtk-murrine-engine)
  • moka-cinnamon-theme
  • (!) Update! I don't need moka-cinnamon-theme because Fedora 20 uses gnome-shell - cinnamon is a fork of gnome-shell. Don't bother with this one!
    (!) Warning! I got "No package moka-cinnamon-theme available" when I tried to install this. And indeed, when I went and browsed the repo - I didn't see it under (http://mokaproject.com/packages/rpm/). But, one can download a package (.zip) and install it that way; see note below.

Instal an individual component like so:
su -c "yum install moka-icon-theme"

Notes:


  • Faba's purpose is to serve as a base icon theme to others (such as Moka). It comprises only of a system icons –folders, mimetypes, toolbar icons, etc. To fully experience Moka, it is recommended that you also install Faba Icon Theme.
  • The method shown here is Fedora 20 distribution specific. There are agnostic methods for installation.
  • UPDATE! Don't bother with moka-cinnamon-theme!
    For reference though, I've kept my notes below.
    Because the "preferred" method of downloading the archive doesn't work, I've downloaded the package (moka-cinnamon-theme.zip) and then installed it manually. One can run it as a user and have the theme installed in ~/.themes or as root (so all users can have access to the theme) and it will be installed in /usr/local/share/themes.
    Then you may select "Moka" in the Cinnamon theme preferences, or use the following command:
    gsettings set org.cinnamon.theme name "Moka"
    (BTW, it didn't work because I'm not using cinnamon, and it isn't installed! )
  • To enable the Moka Gnome Shell Theme, I believe you first need to use "Gnome Tweak Tool" to enable User Themes", and then the Moka Gnome Shell Theme can be selected. See here.
