Description:
This theme uses the rendering engine for GTK+ 2.x themes ** gtk2-engines ** you can install it from Synaptic.
In fact, it installs automatically the whole theme with a simple double click:
_2 Wallpapers

_1 Background for Nautilus
_1 complete GTK Metacity theme
_1 icons Pack

If you look at the terminal during the installation, a message indicates a command to use the theme without using the Appearance Manager.

I really like your theme but I have some issues with firefox 3.6.10: When I start FF everything looks fine but as soon as I click somewhere (e.g. on the bookmarks toolbar) the background gets lost and black is displayed instead. Is there any way to fix that? Furthermore, in Open Office the menu text is black which makes it hard to read. maxout

hi jobastr, I have your theme installed and I see, that your use the blue Version of the Vista-Icons by Microsoft. But I also see, that Icons are mixed up with some of the original Vista-Icons as well with some Win7-Icons. If it doesn't annoy you, I will remake the blue Vista-Icontheme as the complete blue theme. I am already working on it. Please give me note, if this is OK for you. Then there would be the possibility, that I will upload the real blue Vista-Icons and you upload the Metacity-theme. Is this a way, we can go along together??? Greetings Karmicbastler

jobastr

Sure, no problem we can add the icon pack as an update if you wish.

Nice work. I love dark themes. Just was taken aback by the icons. When I tried them, I was surprised to see many window-ish type icons. Still looks nice, though.

there are problems with open office that need to be addressed

jobastr

Sorry I do not understand your problem can you give me more details?

paulvalley1967

varous menu items are white and dont show up this is under the options menu

jobastr

Open Office theme has a specific script, "/Usr/share/themes/Dark-linux/gtk-2.0/styles" You must edit the file in root "oo" and substitute: text [NORMAL] = "#FFFFFF" by text [NORMAL] = "#A8ADAC"

jobastr

It's really sad to leave such stupid comments.

Great work. THX for this. Look fine.

I use this theme full time and love it. I currently use Mandriva 2010.1. The only problem I have is the font is ffffff in the address bar and search bar in Opera thus making it invisible and I can't seem to change it. If that could be fixed or if someone could help me with that, I would use this theme full time. Thanks for all the work either way

jobastr

I do not have this problem with Opera, I suggest you try the same solution for Open Office: "/Usr/share/themes/Dark-linux/gtk-2.0/styles" You must edit the file in root "oo" and substitute: text [NORMAL] = "#FFFFFF" by text [NORMAL] = "#A8ADAC" Then restart your session

C'est un très chouette thème, bravo

jobastr

Merci

Très beau thème ! Par contre, je rencontre un problème dans certaines applications comme playonlinux, control center,.. qui utilise un fond blanc et comme ta police est blanche on ne voit rien... Y a t-il un moyen de résoudre le problème ? ------- Very nice theme! But, I encounter a problem in some applications such playonlinux, control center,... which uses a white background and as your police are white can not see anything ... Is there a way to solve the problem?

jobastr

I need to do tests, I would like to know as soon as possible.

Very nice Theme! Thank You! But have I detto Problem. I don't know example in openoffice Text size adjust, because I don't see. Please help! thx

jobastr

Open Office theme has a specific script, "/Usr/share/themes/Dark-linux/gtk-2.0/styles" You must edit the file in root "oo" and substitute: text [NORMAL] = "#FFFFFF" by text [NORMAL] = "#A8ADAC" For other applications, the concern is that they manage it even their color fonts, it should create a script for each one. Make me a list of major applications that have this type of problem, I'll try to create a specific script, but I am not sure to satisfy everyone. I'd do an update of the theme when the scripts are functional.

vpeet

Thank your Help! Openoffice is good, actually is qBittorrent ditto error. Everything else Program is good. hy

jobastr

For qBittorrent, I just install it, there are only inactive files that are blank, the software uses at least four font colors, should make these changes at the software code itself, it is beyond my skills.

un gros boulot effectué, même si l'inspiration aero est grande, c'est joli. continue a nous pondre de beaux thème comme ça. cordialement coyotus, mais tu me connais déjà :p

Wow! Wow! Wow! C'est manifique, mon ami! This is one of the most beautiful themes, if not the MOST BEAUTIFUL, I have ever seen! I love your color scheme. You are a TRUE ARTIST, mon ami! It's obvious you put a lot of work into this and I, for one, appreciate you sharing this with us! I have searched gnome-look and other sites for a long time for a theme as beautiful as this. I now have it installed and I am very happy! This makes it a true pleasure to use my ubuntu linux. Thanks again for sharing! Merci beaucoup!

jobastr

C'est moi qui te remerci pour tant de compliments.

Balian
