Description: I was asked if I could do a wood theme as per this link in the forums: http://gnome-look.org/comments/discussion.php?id=3&forumpage=5#c268990 so here it is, this is just the prelim work that I knocked up on sunday afternoon and is far from finished (no scroll bars icons etc) so please constructive comments only! "it sucks!" doesn't really help! more to follow when I get the time.
Now includes xfce4 window manager content
Finally got around to adding some application icons supplied by Antonio J. Botello - Thanks.Last changelog:
Added scrollbars Added icons Updated scrollbars Added (most!) Desktop icons Added a smooth wood version(not quite finished yet) Updated scroll, range and progress bars Changed menufill and menu item textures changed links to new website updated download links addded xfce4 wm content added googledocs link
I'm a bit wooded'ed out at the moment having just converted these two themes and done two new ones ( Old Wood And Brass/Steel available on gnome-look ), but maybe in a while?
This is a metacity theme for gnome i dont use xfce and wouldn't have clue how to go about doing one but by all means convert it to run on xfce all the textures etc that u should need are in ~/.themes/WoodTheme/metacity-1
I had not heard of this theme for firefox but I've just download and installed it and it matches up with the wood theme very well I may even borrow some of the ideas, thanks for the tip, if anyone else wants this heres a link:

I have to admit that I was hoping for something a little more modern, subtle and refined - a bit more polished. I was thinking of something along these lines:

Things just work in that mockup. One element doesn't try to outshine another, and things flow really well.
Don't get me wrong though - I really appreciate the effort. It just wasn't what I was hoping for.

Good but please provide wooden beryl theme
See above but I might try a emerald theme any good howtos that u know of?
There's an Emerald theme called "Oaks" you might want to look at that I can recommend.
i like very mush ... but titlebar\window border no effect with xfce4.42 ?

I think that it (theme) will become better if you will take a look at Walnut Firefox theme maybe you will take... mmm... some idea... from there.

I find that mockup a little bland but it's early days yet.
I've been looking for a theme like this for some time, that uses a wood background but with lighter colors. I LOVE IT! :-) Fred in St. Louis, MO USA
Thanks! I'm working on the scroll bars now and hope to post a revision tonight
