Description:

No-frills, slightly more modern than Clearlooks or Windows Classic.

* Requires Murrine Engine >= 0.98.1

Read README.txt to customize:

Hi,

Lambda v0.3 is PERFECT. Absolutely love the new titlebar size and especially when it reflects the choice of color.

Forgot to tell you that the scrollbar is excellent in your theme.

This theme must win the Nobel prize of GTK Theme. Thanks very much.

Hi, The bigger titlebar is welcome. May be make it the same size than the original Lambda would be even better. I found that the thin bar in Lambda-mod 0.1 gave an unbalanced impression.

In my opinion, the originality in this Lambda-Mod theme is the color theme. It is so refreshing compared to many other themes, which for some strange reasons, only use black and white.

I hope you will create a collection of various colors. You like red OK, can you also add Green, Blue, Brown?

Thanks in advance.

You're right, the title bar looks crowded when using other fonts than Cantarell. Will set to original size.

I'm changing the title bar color to be based on the selected color variable. Thus, you will be able to customize the color through appearance preferences. Next version will have dark and light font variants.

Very possible. I like the red. Interestingly enough, heliothorpe wallpaper harmonizes with this theme well.

Thanks for the links to the artwork. Loving the walls.
