This is the Clearlooks Metacity theme.
15 years ago
0.6 Update:
Added Clearlooks-Balloon (all rounded) and Clearlooks-Sharp (all squared).
0.6:
- Window icon is now fixed-size (no blurring).
- Slightly smoothed out the titlebar gradient.
0.5.2a:
- Fixed the tarball, so you can install via drag and drop again. Sorry about that!
0.5.2 (the "double-edged" release):
- Square bottom corners.
- Square utility windows.
0.5.1:
- Unfocused titlebars are less dark.
- Tweaked the prelighting.
0.5:
This is a major rework. If you liked the original Industrial-modification, you better make a backup of it. ;) The changes are:
- More advanced titlebar gradient, which looks softer and is also less bright, so it works well with bright themes like the new Ubuntu Human.
- New buttons which look quite a lot more like normal Clearlooks buttons.
- Unfocused windows do not look insensitive anymore.
- Utility windows have a smaller titlebar.
- The one-pixel padding below the titlebar is gone, this will look fine with the tweaked menubar in Clearlooks 0.5.
- Considerably better performance according to the Metacity benchmark tool.
First Release:
Differences to the last version included in Clearlooks 0.3 (Gtk engine) are a more rounded look for the buttons, slightly smaller icons and some minor fixes.

Heres a fix to that problem:

The patch covers maximized and focused windows. The unmaximized and unfocused windows are perfect.

Otherwise, it's a great theme, but I think 0.5.2 is a slight step down from 0.5.1.

This only happenes with Clearlooks Metacity theme.

To workaround the bug, enable font hinting (I know, it sucks....)

-I don't like the new 'soft' titlebar gradient, the 0.4 gradient seemed more clear and flat to me, the 0.5 titlebar looks raised and pseudo-3d, but I prefer the flat look.
-I loved how the inactive windows looked like they were carved out of one piece, with the same color for window, titlebar and the filling of the title-bar-buttons, giving the windows a seamless look.
-I don't like the new buttons (close/maximize/...), I prefer the solid darker blue filling.
Basically I think this: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/pre1/19527-1.png
is the perfect clearlooks-version.
In general I prefer 0.4 because of the more "flat" look, 0.5 just isn't that clear anymore.
I don't want to be rude, I just think 0.4 was superior to 0.5, and since I'm really sad my Ubuntu upgraded 0.4 away, I registered an account here to let you know.

I will _not_ revert to what I personally find far inferior. I already said above, that I'm not stopping anyone from re-releasing the old version under a different name. Please do that if you care so much, it would be far more constructive.

The next minor update will use a lighter shade for unfocused titlebars though, which looks noticably friendlier.
