Clearlooks-Colors
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This theme is aimed for people who just want a simple, fast and native interface with many color options. It's also designed with new linux users in mind, by providing simple, thorough instructions. A matching set of Icons, Wallpapers, GDM themes and Usplash screens can also be downloaded separately.
There are four color variations (Orange, Blue, Green, Red) and TWO designs; light and dark. You can create even more color-schemes through GNOME's appearance preferences, using the included tango palette for color suggestions!
This theme is designed for Ubuntu Hardy/Gnome 2.22. It will not work in earlier versions.
Important, must read or clowns will eat you:
- Inside the gtkrc files there are extensive line-by-line instructions and tips for customizing most aspects of the theme!
- GNOME-Colors are set as the default icons for the themes. Be sure to download them to get the full experience!
- This theme uses gradient panel backgrounds by default. If you plan to use Transparent/Custom panels, please disable my panels by editing either the gtkrc or panel.rc files like the included instructions tell you to.
- My X-Colors metacity borders are not selected by default, due to their non-conservative nature. You can choose them in gnome's appearance preferences if you wish to use them.
- Some linux apps are not too friendly to dark themes yet. It's up to their developers to improve this. Keep this in mind when using any dark theme.
- If you want root/super user applications to be themed, you must type in a terminal:
sudo ln -s ~/.themes /root
- Feel free to try Murrine-Colors or Nodoka-Colors for alternate takes on this theme.
Please:
If you must vote down, or if there is something you dislike, leave a comment so I can improve it!

A small request. Would it be possible to upload the "old" style x-colors metacity theme? The one with gradients. I love that version, so it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your great work. :)

Shiki-Colors is the successor to these themes and is actively developed, but these are just provided as is for anyone who may still like them.

if you look at both top corners they are IMO too much sharp and some soft rounding would be nice if you could implement. i've looking into metacity code if this is and bitmap issue, but unfortunatelly all is written code which i don't understand :(
this is only part which disturbs me http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/6033/metacitycorners.png
what do you thing, it's possible?

Very nice, but
is there any possibility to get old style tabs (no stripe but smooth gradient) like in earlier versions of clearlooks?
best regards

1. go to the notebook section (clearlooks-notebook) and add the following below the line that says "contrast = 1.15":
style = GLOSSY
This will make the tabs gradient, however since they are rendered with glossy style, inactive tabs will look glossy.
2. use my nodoka-colors theme. it's based on this one, and features gradient tabs by default.

you can also alter any of the emerald themes so it fits whatever color you create.
