Shiki-Colors mixes the elegance of a dark theme with the usability of a light theme, resulting in a hybrid theme. Shiki is designed to be fast and stable.
There is a Clearlooks version for out-of-the-box compatibility with most distros and a Murrine version for eyecandy and speed.
There are 7 color variations (Orange, Blue, Green, Purple, Red, Chocolate, Pink). A matching set of Icons, Wallpapers and GDM themes can also be downloaded separately from gnome-look or at the gnome-colors project page.
You can edit the theme's source (the gtkrc files) for further customization, which is all too easy due to the included instructions.
Must read or clowns will eat you:
* The Murrine version will only work with Murrine 0.90.3 or newer. Yes, you will need to upgrade unless you're using Ubuntu Jaunty.
* The borders are very thin, and titlebars/menubars are unified because of "LOL, ELEGANCE". If you have any difficulty resizing windows, try the included alternate metacity with thicker borders.
* In Ubuntu, for themes (installed through appearance preferences) to be able to theme applications in admin mode, you must type in a terminal:
sudo ln -s ~/.themes /root && sudo ln -s ~/.icons /root
Fedora users can get an installable package of Murrine 0.90.3 (x86) here until is not available in release section:
http://files.getdropbox.com/u/1529612/gtk-murrine-engine-0.90.3-1.fc12.i586.rpm
* In Ubuntu, you can use the official PPA repository for easy installation and upgrades. For Ubuntu Karmic Koala, you can simply run apt-get install shiki-colors to install from Ubuntu's universe repositories. The packages are also available in Debian Sid.
* To fix minor Firefox 3 bugs in Shiki-Colors, install the Stylish add-on and go here (or install the included userChrome.css file following the instructions in README):
http://userstyles.org/styles/10822
* Visit the GNOME-Colors project page for bug reports, feature requests, SVN and more downloads:
http://code.google.com/p/gnome-colors/
* Consider donating a small amount to the GNOME-Colors project if you wish to support it, or to show your appreciation. You can do so by clicking on the "donate" button next to the download section.

Using it, my GTK2 and GTK3 apps are nearly indiscernable!
You can find the excellent work there :

So it seems someone should volunteer to create a GTK3 version.

I'd love to change the scrollbars colors and make them darker because I can't see it at all. Where are the scrollbars, for editing them with gimp?
Thanks.

Many new themes gives the possibility to move windows by "draging" in the unused space in the menu-bar (such as Ambiance/Radiance, eGTK and Unified). Since the colors of the window border and the menubar are the same in shiki, this should be fixed.

Any idea what's up with that?
Thanx in advance,
Fred in St. Louis
PS -- I'm about to try just downloading them and installing them straight from here, so we'll see what happens there...

Many recent themes have made nautilus a focal point of the theme, and I think it's a great idea. An example of this is the elementary theme.
I'd love to use your theme, as I feel it is the most consistent and clear. But nautilus looks very outdated.
I'd love to hear if this is a possibility! Thanks
