Ubuntu Basic Black
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
(Note: because of the inclusion of the splash screen and wallpaper files, you need to first extract the "UbuntuBasicBlack.tar.gz" archive out of the downloaded archive in order to be able to install the GDM theme.)
I like black. Lots of black. So here is a GDM theme based on the basic "Ubuntu Human" theme (uses same icons and basic layout) but changed to black (logo, username window, bottom bar, etc.).
A "generic" GNOME version is available here as well for people who don't use Ubuntu or prefer to use "unbranded GNOME": http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=81030
Included in the archive are two splash screens and two wallpaper pics (1280x1024 and 1280x800), all using the same basic logo.

2007-06-30: added another splash screen based on the "splash pack" by troseph (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Splash+Pack?content=61272).
2007-05-14: reduced the logo size, changed the "Username:" color, changed warning message colors.

I have had some limited success with Firefox under Edit > Preferences > Content > Colors and unselecting 'use system colors'. That only half way fixes the problem though. Many of the text fields remain black on black. (For example the search field on YouTube). And this does not fix the problem for other apps.
Any thoughts?

If I am understanding your question properly, at least with Firefox, the solution is not too difficult. To get different color text for the menu items in Firefox, edit your /home/USERNAME/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/chrome/userChrome.css file by adding the following:
menubar, menubutton, menu, menuitem, menupopup, popup > * {
color: white !important;
}
The "USERNAME" folder is different for everyone; you'll have to just look at what yours is; make sure you have turned on "show hidden files" in your Nautilus view menu. There is a sample file in there already with some info for a few settings.
I can't remember how many options for color there are off the top of my head, but I am aware that you can use "white" and "silver" and there are others.
Sorry I can't help more, but my knowledge about this stuff is quite limited.

I saved 58111-UbuntuBasicBlackArchive.tar.gz to my desktop then gone to...
System -> Preferences -> Theme
Clicked "Install Theme" and selected "58111-UbuntuBasicBlackArchive.tar.gz" and clicked "Open"
It then brings up an error: "The file format is not valid"
Can you help?

Sorry that is so complicated, but I thought it would be best to keep everything together so that people who like the GDM can also have a splash screen and wallpaper to match. Let me know if you are still having trouble.
