AvionX is a GTK 3.2 theme with a few avionics touches tossed in.
What's new in version 1.8 you may ask yourself?
Almost everything! It's a whole new theme!
Rebuilt from the ground up to remove all lingering traces of cobalt blue. (Not that cobalt blue is bad. My Kobalt theme is quite popular!) .
Cobalt blue was traded in for some nice shades of cyan and teal. The "cockpit grey" color hue shifted also.
The scrollbar has been reworked as the non-expanding scroll knob wan't cutting it, it wouldn't travel the full range.
The stepper function was added to the scrollbar, mostly for looks.
The ugly Phillips screws were traded in for better hardware. Menu margins/padding tweaked for better stability.
Mint Cinnamon has added a more contemporary style option to the panels which means that panel buttons don't stretch across the entire panel work area,
The split panels stylishly attach to the popup menus, wherever you may choose to use them.
Gnome shell included.
Xfce, Unity, and Chrome are supported.
Don't forget to install the included menu icon.
Wallpapers are at 1920 x 1080 resolution.
Major Changes v1.8 9 months ago
This theme has been rebuilt from the ground up to remove all traces of the cobalt blue color that weren't completely eliminated in the last change.
The cobalt blue was traded in for more shades of cyan/teal ranges. The "cockpit grey" color hue shifted also.
The single , non-expanding scroll knob wan't cutting it, as it wouldn't travel the full range.
The stepper function was added to the scrollbar, mostly for looks.
The ugly Phillips screws were traded in for flat head panel fasteners, more commonly used in the aerospace industry.
The menu has a tendency to change in size and margines have have been adjusted to better compensate for those subtle changes.
In XFCE, there was an issue with some panel launcher background colors not matching and the problems can be observed in other themes as well.
The panel's background color was adjusted to match and compensate for this mismatch.
Mint Cinnamon has added a more contemporary style option to the panels which means that panels don't have to stretch across the entire panel area,
The split panels work nicely in this mode, They attach nicely to the popup menus, wherever you choose to use them.

XFCE is easy to edit. Swapping out the main 3 colors totally changes the theme.
You need a color picking program first, such as KcolorChooser, or you can use one online.
Next, using root, grab a theme in user/share/themes, make a copy and rename it.
Open the index file in the theme and change the name there, in order for the theme to be found by your theme manager.
Test to see if it loads.
Open up your GTK-2.0, then open up the gtkrc file with a text editor.
Change the background, foreground, and select the colors that you desire.
These are the 3 colors that are displayed by the theme manager.
Don't be afraid to change other colors in there. .
You can always edit your last change if you don't like it.
You need to close and reopen the theme manager to get the theme to compile.
After making a change, load another theme then load yours. to see the changes made.
Remember, backup your work frequently!
armageddon51 is correct. GTK3 adds the icing to the cake.
Some themes don't use it, but you can do more with the new coding.
The GTK-2 is used by many apps, such as GIMP and many of the music manager apps.
Good Luck!
