for Clearlooks-Phénix v3 and newer: packages gtk2-engines (if GTK2 applications are used).
Download:
Download the appropriate version according to your situation:

Thanks a lot for your comments. Unfortunately, I don't have spare time this summer to work on this theme and make changes.

1. Make the borders where I grab it with the mouse to resize a window a little wider. Then I wouldn't have to be so accurate with the mouse to activate resizing.
2. Allow me to make the font on the main panel white. That way I can make the panel have a bright and cheerful background, and still read the print. As is I must have a light background to read the black print.
3. On app windows it seems to me a lot of space is wasted with a very wide title bar, menu bar, and toolbars. Also, the slider bars seem unnecessarily wide. I have a laptop with a small screen and every bit of space is precious.
Better yet would be to tell me how to reconfigure clearlooks-phenix 6 so that I could achieve those items. I run Xubuntu with XFCE.
Thanks

I'm using Cinnamon on LMDE 201303 and cannot find the way to change the color which is supposedly changeable.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1159430
that seems to be solved adding
[code]NautilusDesktopWindow GtkWidget {
background-color: @transparent;
}[/code]
in the gtk-widget.css file - sorry I'm not a developer and so I don't know if this is going to break something else. I'll try to send you an email too.
Bye

If you're familiar with git, you can clone a repository on Gitorious, commit your changes and propose a merge request.
> Or maybe sending some corrections by email?
