Description:

Concept
This time I wanted to create a darker theme with a pixmap bg. Further all control-elements (buttons, scrollbars... etc) should be transparent.
To create this overlay effect and getting it displayed correctly wasn't as easy as I thought it would be and this may cause problems. This makes the theme pretty experimental as well... :)

Contents
+ 2xgtk
+ 2xmetacity
+ xfwm4
+ 2xemerald
+ gdm
+ userContent.css (Firefox3)
+ NowPlaying screenlet theme

GDM
If you have a widescreen monitor, please rename the file "bg-wide.png" to "bg.png" in the gdm-theme directory.

Metacity
Because metacity resizes the titlebar if the title font is too big, I recommend to use the font "snap" as window title font. With other fonts try sizes around 7 and 8.

Note
To enjoy the theme in all it's sexyness be sure to copy the userContent.css to your firefox profile.
If you find any bugs please let me know (if you have a minute a screenhot would be much appreciated).
The pattern for the bg is from theinspirationgallery.com (modified of course).

Screenshot
The wallpaper (also used as bg for the gdm-theme) is from mandolux.com (slightly modified). Thx again Mando for letting me use it!

Hey, great theme! I'm using it right now, but I have a problem with the firefox scroll bar. Can you take a look at this screenshot please?

I really do enjoy this theme, but in Open Office the page is black and it's really weird looking typing on a black page instead of a white one. I was wondering if there was a way to make the sheet white.

The css file doesn't work. It un-themes some buttons and not others. Check out the screenshot: http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/lh/photo/nJ6Tb5Lpma0UTYDD2WoOzA?feat=directlink

i went to mandolux.com but this guy has like 7 years worth of photos in his archive. which year is your wallpaper in and whats it called?

Also, i tried installing your font from the artwiz pack but apparently ubuntu's font manager in the appearance settings doesnt support pcf fonts. im guessing there is a way to fix this but i cant seem to figure it out. any ideas?

while using nautilus with list view
Expander before the folder name doesn't show, or is it supposed to show?

Showing some kind of an arrow would be nice though.

and for the roses,
After searching for years the perfect dark theme, thanks to you, I've finally found it :)

the background image is amazing.

Also another one, just a little visual glitch, which could not be related to theme at all.

while using "gnome-terminal" tabbed interface you'll have thin white line in the borders.

Hi,

The picture you used on your title bars, do you have this in wallpaper? Feel like using it as a wallpaper for my terminals.

Thanks.

Do you mean the bg image?
You can find that one in the theme: Mira/gtk-2.0/Shadows/window-bg.png

It is tileable.

Hey, your theme really rocks, however, it's too dark.

What font do you use for the theme? I can't find it, so I've used the standard font.
