Description:

My first GTK2 theme. It's based on RoyaltyBlack. Metacity, panel background and start icon are included.

To make panel transparent go to panel options and choose panelbg_black.png as a background.

To use my start button run gconf-editor, go to: /apps/panel/objects/object_0/
choose custom_icon, set a path to startbutton.png and tick use_custom_icon .

There are still few bugs with font colours.

Last changelog:

Incredible work. The Schwermetall-Dark-Ice is not bad as well but the taskbar cant compare.

Please fix the text - just make it darker or just plain black so it wont be hard to read. I am planning to use this for long time :D.

As you wish :]. I will make metacity frames in next version I'll also try to make the theme less bright. I'm a novice in these things, especialy creating metacity, so it take me much time.

kimmik

Hehe, I actually noticed that too and modified the metacity theme a little bit.
Just download the Schwermetall-Dark-Ice gtk and metacity theme from my blog. :)

However, and I've noticed this before, going to the path you described in the gconf-editor is totally blank; there aren't ANY values there for me to edit at all.

P.S. I'm using Linux Mint 3.1 Celena.

Got it! That's the first time that's EVER worked for me!

Thank you so much. And the theme, I'm using it right now, it's very sleek and original! Excellent job!
