But you know the metal theme was made by raster for e16 window manager, so there is no "original" metacity-theme? - May 25 2014

GTK2 Themes by VCoolio 9 comments

Thanks for your theme, I have the complete opposite problem (light buttons with dark text on dark windows...), and figured out much by myself, but your theme seems to have solved the last problems I face, so I'm "stealing" a great bit from your code.

So my biggest respect for your work done here.

Thank you, but my theme is already done:

But I understand you, Gnome3 is ... lets say no good road to follow, I'm currently using wmfs.

I'm currently working on something similuar, and your theme is cool.
My Tip: do as much as you can with your choosen engine, and use pixbuff for the rest (a little impact in performance, but still better as using only pixbuff). - Aug 22 2012

Window-Maker Themes by decadentgray 6 comments

So,
finally I got some spare-time (;

Since the theme I pointed you too was a bit slabby I tinkered a little bit.
Its just a clearlooks again, but a bit closer to the original and better fitting with my theme.

Enjoy (; - Oct 30 2011

Window-Maker Themes by decadentgray 6 comments

Sorry for the late reply,
I have too many things spinning around me lately.

Seems like my work in progress rhaps-theme is gone, from time to time I purge my never finished projects.

But you can use this theme, its relatively similar to mine (I just did'nt like the clearlooks...):

Sorry for the inconvenience.

To be honest, my attention got drained away, but since it is about 75% finished I could make it up and running.
I'm looking over it these days and polish it up (come again in a week or so).

WTF?
In case I did'nt mention it before, but I hate gnome.
Thanks for pointing this out. - May 03 2011

GTK2 Themes by decadentgray 23 comments

Needlessly to say things work just fine on my machine...
I'm setting up a different install to track this.
Which distribution do you use, which version of gnome? - May 01 2011

GTK2 Themes by decadentgray 23 comments

Yeah, the different thicknes was in tron (;

But for real, it gives more weight to the horizonthal layer and makes it just a bit more elegant.

The inner edges are a problem I on, e16 sets all the border transparent, so I put some rounded transparency on the inside, wich looks not in every situation good. The other problem is 1 bit transparency on shaped windows (this is inherited by x11), so I can't smooth them out as I like.

Elementary:
I used some earlier versions of the icons, but some later changes and metaphors drived me away.
The idea of refining UIs of programms is a dead end, It has to be redone on every new release and just "face-lifts" problems more deep without solving them...
But the plain existence (and, to say, necesserity) of it proves that there is some major usability problem within gnome.
But no gnome-discussion here (;
Elementary tries to be too much of an apple, there, GnuSTEP and Etóile seems the better resolution.

Next update end of the week after eastern (is this right? Sounds just wrong to me), this time with basic icons.

I've updated installation instructions, hope it helps (the last time I was in a rush).
If it doesn't work comment again (with as much detail as you can provide), I'm around here tomorrow and will try to replicate or solve the error 'round the weekend.

Different Colors are planned, but first this needs to get out of beta.

Development:
I built the round windowborder in e16 just out of curiosity if the no-button-or-titlebar-concept would work, and (for me) it worked damned well and looked just cool, so I decided to join it by a gtk-theme.
Since it is nearly monochrem (3 shades of cyan and pitch black) there is only one reference, the really old guis of the late 80s.
And since I used most of them (Old Apples, NeXT, SunOS4 and Openlook) and I had some screenies lying around, I tried to refine their concepts (just a underline instead of an entrybox, the arrow-style) to modern stadarts of usability (awareness of visuall-clutter and the like).
This is an ongoing process, there are so many rough edges...

So, enough talk, good night (; - Apr 20 2011

Milk Theme

Openbox Themes by dncaps 4 comments

Maybe a theme name without so heavy history would serve you better...
I'd assume a "milk"-theme to be white on the other hand, besides of expecting it to be derrivated from max rudbergs work.

- it should be an gtk-module, like globalmenu (wich I use).
While I don't wan't to force anyone to use globalmenu, I don't want to be forced to use this compact style... (althought its nice, yepp ^^) - Mar 11 2010

... it looks just like a strange mod of the Industrial-theme.
But the window-border is quite appealing. - Jan 17 2010

I used the colorfull Apple to provide the classic feeling, but I'll make all icons without too, its not everyone`s taste.

Thanks for your Feedback. - Jan 12 2009

The fact that I couldn`t find any documentation for the pixmap engine but I simply want to create themes makes me say thank you, 6nome is still my beloved all-overall template to modify from.
This theme is the most importeant on my Coputer. Thank you. - Oct 26 2008

I dislike Vista and Microsoft,
but my Girlfriend hasn`t used Linux ever before, and the Vista theme is perfect, she could use the PC as before and isn`t needed to think too much. - Oct 11 2008
