Adwaita Drakfire GTK3 Theme

wow, you are right! (at least, I agree after seeing http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/gnome-shell-extensions-additional.html) - May 02 2011

I would say he is using a third-party launcher, probably awn or cairo-dock, besides of Unity's own. - May 02 2011

You are right, gtk-window-decorator is nice but fails to smooth the rounded corners!

Thanks for this theme!! - Jan 17 2011

kde4.2-oxygen (modified)

GTK2 Themes by DeeZiD 28 comments

This theme is very polished. Very!. :))
You guys have made a theme which is a quite fair port but yet usable and without small rendering bugs. I think that achieving this is very difficult and I congratulate you for that.
The only thing I miss from KDE 4.2 is the scrollbar effect. I've seen similar effect at osx-scrollbar (latest Mac4lin includes that). Perhaps you could do something alike, because the effect in KDE4.2 is pretty cool. Nevertheless, that is an small issue. - Feb 24 2009

GTK2 Themes by dashua 36 comments

I think that is an issue of contrast. This laptop has a wonderful screen, but which has some contrast issues. I'll check tomorrow in another monitor. - Feb 01 2009

The look is fantastic.
I've done the git thing.
But, I have no focus visualizations at all, so the theme is only usable via mouse. - Jan 31 2009

Impressive work. - Jun 15 2008

GTK2 Themes by SkiesOfAzel 101 comments

I've downloaded gnome-settings-daemon sources and I've seen that they create a toplevel window to extract colors from- in order to feed xrdb.

Thus, one partial solution to handle legacy apps without spoiling the rest would be to add the line:
bg[NORMAL] = "#bbbbba"
to the style "gradient" (which is used only at "GtWindow" and "PanelDItemEditor" widgets at your case) keeping the default style with the darker background.

I'm unsure of which side effects this might have. It would be just OK if there is no inheritance of the toplevel window style to the children - I guess this is not happening since you specify the style for every widget type and use the "default" to the GtkWidget class specifically. I've tested and my NEdit windows keep looking just fine. I wish to know your opinion about this trick. - Apr 11 2008

With the last update, the notifications are shown with a black background and a dark grey foreground and are not readable (besides of being aesthetically wrong). Any idea? - Apr 10 2008
imetal

GTK2 Themes by SkiesOfAzel 101 comments

sweet!
Also, thanks for the explanation about the default background setting. One could mess with .Xdefaults or ~/.gnome2/xrdb but then it would only work for a certain theme :P

There is another small bug: network-manager wireless power scale is not correctly drawn. Mac4lin people had the same problem (I guess since they derived their work from yours) and solved it some time ago. I *think* the fixing line was:

widget_class "*MenuItem.*ProgressBar*" style "progressbar"

which they place just after class "GtkProgressBar" style "progressbar"
at about your line 1670.

OK, then. Seems that "the good choice" depends on which legacy apps one is using. - Apr 08 2008

GTK2 Themes by SkiesOfAzel 101 comments

Impressive work!. Congratulations.
I've two minor issues:
1st) Evolution messages list-header is wrong at vertical mode.
2nd) The color set up at legacy apps (Motif) is too dark. I get the right color using
bg[NORMAL] = "#bbbbba"
instead of
bg[NORMAL] = "#979797"

I don't know what may be affected by this change, but since I use NEdit a lot, I prefer it this way... - Apr 07 2008

I tend to use plain wallpapers, but I have to admit that your work is incredible. You are an artist!. Every wallpaper has a lot of imagination besides high technique. Keep up this good work! - Mar 03 2008
xl_cheeselooks gtk-engine

GTK2 Themes by xlcheese 50 comments

yes... seems that some files from automake 1.9 distribution have been linked... in my case I've had to do the following:
ln -sf /usr/share/automake-1.10/INSTALL .
ln -sf /usr/share/automake-1.10/install-sh .
ln -sf /usr/share/automake-1.10/depcomp .
ln -sf /usr/share/automake-1.10/missing .

(your milleage may vary) and then it works. - Feb 25 2008

With the suggested icons, the look is outstanding.
Keep the good work. - Feb 09 2008
Aurora Gtk Engine

GTK2 Themes by ECHM 347 comments

I really like this engine. However, the list-headers are glassy while the rest of the widgets have smooth gradients which makes list-headers inconsistent with the rest.

Nevertheless, the widgets at their own look fantastic. Amazing is the proper word.

I would suggest having a variable to choose between glassy or smooth for all the widgets (and providing smooth version for the list-headers and glassy version for the rest of the widgets). I know this is a big amount of work- providing a smooth version of the list-headers would be a nice first target.
- Jan 14 2008
I agree.
Further, vertical panels suffer from the same problem... (at vertical panels, the controlvolume slider looks just OK). - Dec 19 2007

Using your ish-aqua, i've selected the ish-green ish-orange and ish-red pixmaps for maximize-restore, minimize and close buttons and it looks very nice. Perhaps you would include a ish-osx version in a near future? - May 29 2007

I've used checkinstall without any trouble:
1) donwload source
2) change to uncompressed dir
3) ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-animation
4) make
5) sudo checkinstall

Aqualooks 0.1.0 (Alpha)

GTK2 Themes by zammi 33 comments

I'm glad to see people developing GTK engines, specially when are cairo based :-)). I'm very happy to use this amazing theme, and my comments below are not "but"s - just suggestions:

IMHO, some widget borders are too blurry and hard (buttons for instance) compared with other which are smooth and calm... (list headers for instance). I like slick and calm looks.

There is room for improvement at scrollbars as well. - Feb 20 2007

mortadelo

GDM Themes by gonzas 5 comments

For those who don't know, Mortadelo and Filemon are popular characters of Spanish comics.
Most of us who were born about the seventies grew up laughing at their simple humoristic stories. The humor of their creator (Francisco Ibañez) targets the common social behaviour rather than politics or vips. Well, the characters are very fool as well :).

MurrinaFancyClearlooks Themepack

GTK2 Themes by Zerthis 41 comments

In my case (I compiled Murrina engine by myself in my ubuntu edgy 64bit box) , I don't get the stripes at the menu bar. I don't miss them very much, but I would like to know if someone knows why I don't have them.

Congratulations for this theme. It is very nice and really fast. I'm very happy using it with tango icons.. I love new clearlooks colors (sky). I like clearlooks as well, but it is boring to stand always with the same theme :-P. - Nov 16 2006

WOW, thanks for the quick response.
I was unable to find a Metacity theme that matches so well with Murrine. - Nov 14 2006

River

Metacity Themes by dhonn 7 comments

Hi! I've modified River gradients to match better Bluecurve aesthetics. Just changed the "0.7" entries at gradients to "0.9" (4 times only :-) ). Default gradients are too dark: nice since it makes River different from other gradient based themes, but not so good for Bluecurve integration.

If it had round corners it would be just perfect for Bluecurve. I like Bluecurve stlye but not the metacity theme, so River makes a lot of sense for me. Thanks. - Apr 07 2006
GTK Filechooser expanded by default

Various Gnome Stuff by Yaba 3 comments

I don't want to change my work behaviour according to the software. I rather change the software.
Do not take that too seriously: I'm sure you are already changing your work behaviour according to the software, and I'm sure you will keep doing so since software keeps beeing replaced.
NM, I don't want to start a phylosophical flame; I just wanted to point that the "places" thing is a good thing (TM) that can be used to minimize the I/O file dialog mess, and addresses the same problem you are facing. I understand, however, that you may not like that solution. Fortunately, you have the source code and, as you say, you can modify the software to macth your needs. - Mar 15 2006
GTK Filechooser expanded by default

Various Gnome Stuff by Yaba 3 comments

I must agree that at the beginning the new gtk/gnome dialogs are suprising and perhaps nasty.

But after some time of working with them, I love dragging a working location into the places part and accessing the location easyly from every app, whithout the waste of space of the full file-selection dialog.

When, after a week or so, the location has lost its "working-priority", I remove it from the places; so at the end most of the times I use one file-selection dialog I use one of my "places" entries, and I can still navigate to other locations using the expander (but such case should be the rare one). - Mar 13 2006

The new menu with the stripes is much better that it used to be!! very nice 0.4 version.

Thanks for this great theme. - Feb 27 2006
Gray

GTK2 Themes by cimi86 52 comments

I actually meant both the pattern and the bands. I've made it myself easyly with the gimp, making the image a transparency mask of itself... I'm playing around that because I can now recolorize the image but it has lower contrast than yours....


Let me know if you are interested in it. Sure however that you can make it much better since your image is very very good. - Jan 31 2006
Gray

GTK2 Themes by cimi86 52 comments

The wallpaper is absolutely amazing, and perhaps deserves its own section. I'm currently using it with T-ish theme and seems to have been made for it, as well.

Would it be possible to make an alpha (.png) wallpaper so the underlaying color is seen through the shaded bands? I'm guessing that this is how you created the image, and it may be just a question of exporting everything but the deepest layer... - Jan 31 2006
