Description:
Shiny black and grey theme.

Check it out and let me know what you think.
Last changelog:

Reduced border around panel buttons.

Changed panel colour from black to grey. The black panel is still included in the gtk-2.0 folder. Just replace panel.png using panelblack.png

Changed a lot of text from white to black.
---------------------------------------
Found a bug in the 2nd version whereby the buttons had no animation. This is now fixed. Also changed a black font to dark grey, so text on black buttons in OO and on websites shows up a bit better.

Thank you to those people who gave me feedback. You forced me to do some homework and I've learned some good things from it. Hopefully the changes I've made will make the theme better.

I don't know why a lot of people vote down this great theme. But I just like it. I like your idea and style. Thanks very much. One minus thing is that there is a butter with black background and black text together. It is hard to read. I am just wondering if you can change it a little bit.

Also, white text on gray tab is hard to read. I think black text on gray tab will be good.

Thanks for your comments. I know the button you are talking about. Unfortunately I am not clever enough to fix it yet.

I don't see the reason for the large amounts of white text. The background is far from dark, and I think it would look better with dark text.

I think you are right. However, I do not know how to correct this. I have made fg[NORMAL] white so that the text on the buttons is white. That also changes the text colour on the tabs and means that Fx uses white for the menubar text. When I become more experienced I will be able to fix this.

Great theme. Only thing i would change is the " Applications Places System " menu so it doesn't have a grey border. Just my taste. other wise a fantastic theme. Works with firefox too. Thanks dude.

Thanks for the feedback. I've reduced the border on the panel buttons so hopefully that will improve things. I've also changed the panel to grey, which goes better with the panel buttons.
