Description:

My Initial Attempt at a custom theme for GNOME.

Remember to select the XNTricity window theme from the "Appearances" dialogue.

Thanks to TheRob for the Slickness Menubar and Metacity theme.

Stupid OpenOffice is still playing the fool with menubars! Managed a mild workaround though.

NOTE: Panel theming is enabled by default. It only supports horizontal panels.If you want to change the background or use vertical panels, then you can modify Panel/gtkrc and change line 18
[quote]
# Change this to the background image for the panel that
# you want. Disable it to use a custom image. NOTE: you will also have
# to disable a bunch of other lines (marked) below.
bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "Panel/panel-bg-black-24.png"

Then choose a new panel background from the panel properties. There are some in the Panel folder in the theme directory. The gtkrc doesn't properly support translucent panels, but you can use a translucent one using this method.


GTK2 Theme Engines Required:
* Murrine
* Clearlooks
* Pixmap/Pixbuf
* Crux

The icon theme is Gnome Colours - Noble.

The following scrollbars are available:
1. Black Denim (default)
2. Slickness
3. Aero

Comment all but the one you want in the toplevel gtkrc at around line 280.

I can get this installed... I extracted the .tar package and tried to install it in "Appearance", but all I get is; ...Doesn't seem to be a valid theme package", I like the theme, but I can't seem to install it. Is it broken? Help is appreciated.

Just drag and drop the tar.gz package onto the "Appearance" window. Don't extract anything.

OR

In the "Appearance" dialog click "Install" and select the tar.gz package.

I'm sorry, but I have never seen that error.

Did you install using "Install" from the Appearances Settings dialog?

The titlebar and scrollbars were taken from Slickness with theRob's permission. Everything else is custom made.

Best theme I have come across so far, I use it everyday :D. Would like to use it in a new Linux distro I'm working on, if your interested?

You are welcome to use it wherever you like.
I know of only 1 real bug at the moment, the firefox 3 address bar drop down isn't correct and the "Add Bookmark" popup text is not visible. I am working on those. If you're working on a distro, then perhaps these bugs would be important.

I became a member of this web site because of your art. Really amazing... Just what i was looking for. Glossy effects, black and blue theme. I'm new on this and I appreciate your good job. Congrats.

... all of these Negative comments.
This theme is tight, well thought out and always gets compliments from the people I show my desktop to.

It's very modern, clean and slick. I use it a work to make the Vista Users jealous.

Half of the team here are designers and I'm a director. We know something about good design, this is good design.

Don't listen to the haters.

Much appreciated. I personally don't mind negative comments as long as there's something constructive in them.

All opinion is valid, especially when it comes to something like art.

Well spoken...

I am new to this community and I will be testing your theme out. - await a few comments on my behalf.

I enjoyed that changelog, it's always nice to see progress like that.

I won't use it since I prefer flat themes, but I rate it good because it's a nice and pro theme with a good use of the community work and a complete doc.
Well done.
