Description:

A simple and relaxing working environment...

Requires the Murrine engine and the Pixbuf engine (to render the progress bar)

The GTK theme is a Frankenstein combining elements of Murrina-BlueGrey (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Murrina-BlueGrey?content=52709) and the progress bar from Frozen Plastic Suite (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Frozen+Plastic+Suite?content=44781).

The emerald theme is a slight modification of one of the themes (Sky by Xinix) which comes prepackaged in emerald. I haven't really considered a Metacity theme, but Candido-Selected http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Candido-Selected?content=37871 works pretty well.

The wallpaper is Foresight-Blue http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Foresight-Blue?content=62023 by p373, with a shadow for the panel (because the compiz shadows don't behave as they should), and a backdrop for conky at the bottom.

The icon theme is Tango combined with the folders from Mist (the combination looks great with this theme).

Anyone know how to edit the gtkrc so that when someone sends me an IM the windows part on the window list will blink a different colour? Would be super helpful. This theme is awesome other wise, I hope I can find that value in the gtkrc.

in case anyone is wondering, a bit of hacking around solved the problem for me. If you edit panel.rc, change the value of
"bg[SELECTED]" in panelbuttons to your desired colour. #ff4e00 is mine, it's quite nice. This theme is PERFECT now. Than you!!

Yes, you need the "Murrine" (with an 'e') engine to render "Murrina" (with an 'a') themes. If you're using Ubuntu it *should* be installed by default, or found in the universe repository. Otherwise, you can get it here:

http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=42755

or here:

You also need the pixbuf (aka pixmap) engine to render the progress bar. Again, the pixmap engine should either be installed by default or found in the repositories.

i have a very important question (in my case). i've been searching for that bar you have in the bottom of your screen for a VERY long time and would be VERY pleased if you could tell me where to get it?
(the bar wich shows cpu/mem/net usage and so on)

Sure, the bar at the bottom is a light weight system monitor called "Conky". It should be available through your distribution's package manager. Before you can use it, you must create a .conkyrc file in your home directory that contains all formatting information.

I can post a link to my .conkyrc file, however you'll see that it's formatted to be 1600 pixels wide using tabs and absolute pixel values. If you want to use this scheme, and your screen is not 1600 pixels wide, then you will need to edit those values.
