~/.themes
Same outcome, it's not showing up at all now.

This is really cool. I never change my theme because I cant make my own gnome themes very well and no on ever seems to make themes I like.
But this is awesome! I have to ask though, sorry if this is a terrible question. How do I go about changing the Blue to any colour of my choice? I looked in GTT and also system settings also colour picker etc but I couldnt seem to figure it out. Thanks.

As far as the customizations, since the widgets are in fact images, you would need to change the colors by importing the graphics into photoshop/gimp and then change the colors, you will have to do this for gtk2 and gtk3 theme. Font colors can be changed by editing gtk-3.0/gtk.css and gtk-2.0/gtkrc.

I was using your divornium blue theme in Mint 13 & now this one in Mint 17 Cinnamon. I have a couple of things to ask about:
The active folder is not lit in the path bar of Nemo. How do I make it turn blue like the hover color?
On Firefox, the text boxes are mostly black, sometimes white, sometimes white with black text, sometimes white with blue test, sometimes black with black text! How do I just turn that part off?

What program are you use creating widgets? GIMP? Inkscape? Maybe you can send me some sources (.xcf or smth else) of widgets from DarkCold and some instructions (or links to appropriate lessons/tutorials). Of course, if I post the result here all references, acknoledgements and admirations ;-) will be at place.

I use photoshop for graphic. Unfortunately i dont have a PSD file. You can take the graphic transform to gray, create a new layer on top of the gray one, add some color and set that layer to overlay/linear dodge/linear color or what ever you think is best. Or just change the graphics.

Thanks for the kind words.
As of the light theme, I had in mind something like that, but I dont like light theme so I gave up in the start. These 2 I use at work and at home and thats the only reason I update them. To be honest I would gladly make light version but I just dont have time... but things can change.
Cheers
