Mac OS 9 Theme for Xubuntu

Platinum9

This is a quick and dirty theme meant to approximate (but not really be too pixel accurate) the MacOS 9 (or System 7) theme.

Place the folder NineIcons in ~/.icons (created the folder if it doesn't exists), same with the GTK theme, place it in .themes.

For the fonts, place them in .fonts and update your font cache and you should be good to go.

platinum9's Issues

ClassicPlatinumStreamlined won't show up in styles

The theme won't show up in appearance-->styles. I tried putting it in /usr/share/themes/ and ~/.themes .

broken softlinks

I installed this nice theme but some softlinks are broken.
Maybe someone can fix this?

# 

The folders "actions/32", "/actions/16/", "places/24", "apps/24", "devices/24" and "status" does not exist at all. Maybe a softlink to the other sizes would be the easiest way?

PS:
After creating the links, 7 icons remain in the list ...

Font Rendering

This is amazing. Superb work!

Is there a way to completely disable font antialiasing, perhaps like is done in NsCDE?

Update, please.

I have made a issue about Platinum9 being outdated since 2017 #3, and so did yhaenggi #1. For both of them, grassmunk suggested this fork: https://github.com/timnetworks/Platinum9, but it too isn't updated since 2019. So update, please.

I have also made a screenshot of the page on my issue, so here it is:

I want Xubuntu 20.04 support, like with Chicago95.

I want Xubuntu 20.04 support, like with Chicago95. Sure, this theme is outdated, but it definitely still stood a new chance.
Also, add more customization options, like with Chicago95.

Many icons don't show up at all

What it says above, the files are there but can't be opened with anything. Corrupted files?
