i like what you have done with the title bar icons.. min max close are perfect but the title bar is just too big!!
Why dont you make it smaller.. half the size almost to match the nice slick icons.

This is a great theme, the yellow and brownish colors work perfectly together

The yellow doesn't do this theme any favours. It seems a bit random in contrast to the other colours in the theme.

In the screenshot you've got Rhythmbox, which has off-white backgrounds for its search panes, next to the file manager which has a yellow background for its contents pane. This variance across applications is very inconsistent and not good for the theme (or any theme for that matter).

Also the emerald border, being semi-transparent and glass-like, seems at odds to the very opaque, dark colour inside the windows.

Sorry but this theme doesn't do it for me. (Yet.)

i agree, weird yellow thing, perhaps just a hint of yellowish on greyish somethingish could do it...

The only thing I don't like about this theme is the fact that yellow is used on the GDM and the background for folders.

I can't believe Mark Shuttleworth is serious when says he wan'ts Ubuntu to look better than OS X.
When there's original themes like this that don't make it in to the release.
I think ubuntu is looking dated. It has evolved so quickly in every area except looks.
I don't know one person who uses the default theme!
I'm sure this theme was put forward to be ibex theme but was ignored.

I thought the ubuntu orange theme would have made it, but what do I know.

I like your theme despite the comments made by chilluns. I also like that wallpaper, I've got it in black but would appreciate a link to a brown version.

Thanks!

but in deviantart it's the original.

One of the ugliest themes I have ever seen. Voted bad.

I like the metacity theme in the screenshot, but when the theme is installed the metacity doesn't change.

sorry, i'm working in the metacity, in the screenshot i used a emerald theme, if you have emerald installed you can download the emerald theme from the link above.

Im experiencing the same thing as stefo91 is. The theme installs just fine and i can find it in ~/.themes/. It just does not show up in the Appearance Properties window.

yeah, you have to go to customize, and in controllers select willibex, i'm working to do a theme, but for now this is the solution

When I try to install, I receive a message: «Impossible to move the directory over the directory» (in italian «Impossibile spostare la directory sopra la directory»). What's the problem? I'm using Intrepid..is the theme only for Hardy?

jecovier

hello, you have to go to appearance and click in the customize button, select the controllers tab, and click in willibex... i'm working to fix this

Hello,

a good start for a new theme :)

You can fix the mainmenu color with a user CSS for Firefox like:

#tools-menu, #file-menu, #view-menu, #edit-menu,
#history-menu, #bookmarksMenu, #helpMenu {
color:red !important;
}

Much more of that stuff: http://userstyles.org

Keep on!
