I had it [DarkCold] installed under MATE a few days ago, decided to try Sabayon Linux -- wasn't that good -- reinstalled LM MATE, put the theme in:

/usr/share/themes

And it's not showing up at all in the Appearance applet...I even tried putting it in:

~/.themes

Same outcome, it's not showing up at all now.

What the hell is going on..?!

I'm currently using this theme on Linux Mint 17.2 with the Cinnamon desktop, and it doesn't seem to have an icon set for the "controls" theme setting. I don't know whether it's missing some sort of identifier that says where the controls icons are, or something else, but it would be great if you could add that. =D Thanks!

Just made an account to say thanks mate.

This is really cool. I never change my theme because I cant make my own gnome themes very well and no on ever seems to make themes I like.

But this is awesome! I have to ask though, sorry if this is a terrible question. How do I go about changing the Blue to any colour of my choice? I looked in GTT and also system settings also colour picker etc but I couldnt seem to figure it out. Thanks.

Hi and thanks,

As far as the customizations, since the widgets are in fact images, you would need to change the colors by importing the graphics into photoshop/gimp and then change the colors, you will have to do this for gtk2 and gtk3 theme. Font colors can be changed by editing gtk-3.0/gtk.css and gtk-2.0/gtkrc.

THANKS! for this great theme. It's a bit too dark for me but it's georgious and I'm learning a bit of css to tweak it to my taste.

I was using your divornium blue theme in Mint 13 & now this one in Mint 17 Cinnamon. I have a couple of things to ask about:

The active folder is not lit in the path bar of Nemo. How do I make it turn blue like the hover color?

On Firefox, the text boxes are mostly black, sometimes white, sometimes white with black text, sometimes white with blue test, sometimes black with black text! How do I just turn that part off?
