Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
gtk theme based on kimmiks "sauerstoff" (thats what I found in the gtkrc file) and
metacity theme based on "Scaled Black : Murrina" made by twigsby.
If anyone wants me to delete this I will.
This theme tries to bring an dark elegant style for the gnome desktop, I aim this theme for those who don't use a dock at the bottom but use the gnome-panel. All ideas / suggestions are very welcome. Please comment what you like about my work and what you don't.
Requires the pixbuf and murrina engine
I accidentally deleted the bluer version!
sry for that!
IMPORTANT! -set the bottom panel to 32px
issues:
firefox fonts.
to fix that go here:
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Darkfix+%28+easy+fix+for+browsers+%29?content=74504
that is an amazing fix made by code933k
which works with most browsers :)
thank you all for your name-suggestions
for this theme!
I have been to lazy (or busy) to change that
so the name of this theme stays the same.
I have good name suggestions for my next
theme however :)

fixed so that when a window is maximized the maximize/unmaximize button points down and not up.
fixed the "application launcher - properities" earlier you couldn't read the text... it still isn't beautiful but you don't see it that often anyway... changed the overall look a little and other small "improvements".
fixed the borders of maximized windows (is now borderless and are not rounded when maximized) plus tried to make the metacity look more "modern", and other minor changes.
removed the line between active tab and notebook and some other small changes.
fixed the firefox black text problem.
fixed a version with 25px panel.
Also tweaked the "menu button" a little bit to fit the 25px panel. Fixed so that the workspace switcher uses panel-style.
Fixed a bug that made the panel draw two lines of open windows in the window list if set to 32px or larger.
nicer rounded toolbar buttons.
made a new bluer version of the 25px version (user request).
Improved the alternative bluer version, (screenshot 3).
08-12-2007 first version I'm happy with (1.0) , made changes to metacity theme (better , bigger more informative buttons and other changes),and most bugs fixed.
version 1.1 fixed a bug where the default button appeared smaller than other buttons, changed the overall color a little bit closer to blue, new entries...... other small changes. NO changes to alternative version.
1.11 fixed the inkscape problem and made the panel buttons spacing smaller as suggested :)

By the way, here's just a little sugestion: I like the alternative blue theme, but I miss the borders of the original one. So, could you add side borders to the windows in the alternative blue? Besides that, it's just perfect.
Also, it remindes me of that plastic buttons of the old cell phones, so I was thinking of smthg like "poliethynight", or "starry-plastic", I dunno...

If you like the standard window borders theme
better than the alternative version, just
select window borders theme standard and
controls theme alternative
(If I misunderstood you completely please reply!)
Thank you for the names also!!
(I'll put them under consideration)

Are you sure you are using the latest version (1.11) ?, since I fixed a problem
with the inkscape icons.

Unfortunately, I much prefer the old version with rounded buttons, subtle button colors, and rounded windows. So I guess I'll stick with the older version and just live with the Inkscape problem since I don't use it very often.
Hmm..., I wonder if I can try doing some tweaking myself and get the "best of both". I've got some vacation time, so I'll look into it.

firefox fix:
take the userChrome.css file included in the archive and copy it to
/home/USERNAME/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/chrome
where username stands for your username and the *. stands for a random series of numbers and letters and restart firefox.
Conky:
for the conky-file I wouldn't take much credit as I just took this conky http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/My+Conky+Config?content=62536
and modified the code a little, if you still want my modified file instead I will post it :D

as for the panel, i have run out of ideas but I'm constantly trying out new things.
btw, could you pls tell me about the pm function here on gnome-look (i'm pretty new here), so I don't know how it works.
I could make everything even darker blue if you want to. If I understand you correct you want the background colors of the windows to be the same thou?
