+# Dunmeri
 
-![](Art/_banner-github.jpg)
+A warm, earthy dark theme for GTK 3/4, GNOME Shell, Cinnamon, KDE (Kvantum, Aurorae, color schemes, Look-and-Feel, SDDM), Xfwm4, Metacity, and more.
 
-> Nordic is a Gtk3.20+ theme created using the awesome [Nord](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord) color palette.
+Forked from [Nordic](https://github.com/EliverLara/Nordic) by EliverLara. Dunmeri replaces Nord's cool blue-gray palette with a warm, clay-toned palette inspired by the ashlands of Morrowind.
 
-#### Installation
+## Variants
 
-Extract the zip file to the themes directory i.e. `/usr/share/themes/` or `~/.themes/` (create it if necessary).
+- **Clay** (default) — muted, restrained, neutral-warm
+- Balmora, Ald'ruhn, Molag Mar, Solstheim — planned future variants
 
-To set the theme on Gnome, run the following commands in Terminal:
+## Installation
 
+### GNOME
+
+```bash
+cp -r Dunmeri ~/.themes/
+gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme Dunmeri
 ```
-gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "Nordic"
-gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme "Nordic"
+
+### KDE
+
+- **Kvantum:** Copy `kde/kvantum/Dunmeri` to `~/.config/Kvantum/`
+- **Aurorae:** Copy `kde/aurorae/Dunmeri` to `~/.local/share/aurorae/themes/`
+- **Color scheme:** Copy `kde/colorschemes/Dunmeri.colors` to `~/.local/share/color-schemes/`
+- **SDDM:** Copy `kde/sddm/Dunmeri` to `/usr/share/sddm/themes/`
+
+### Xfce
+
+Copy `Dunmeri` to `~/.themes/` and select in Settings → Appearance.
+
+## Rebuilding from Nordic
+
+```bash
+./dunmerify-theme.sh ~/.themes/Nordic ~/.themes/Dunmeri --force
 ```
-or Change via distribution specific tweak tool.
 
-## Firefox theme
+This re-derives Dunmeri from a fresh Nordic checkout, enabling easy upstream sync.

-If you're a firefox user you should give a try to the awesome [Nordic theme for firefox](https://github.com/EliverLara/firefox-nordic-theme).
+## Note
 
-![](Art/firefox-preview.jpg)
+The splash screen PNGs in `kde/plasma/` contain bitmap text that still reads "Nordic" visually. This is cosmetic only and does not affect functionality. Replacing these requires manual image editing.
