Great Work! I love it.
Could you tell me how to change the color of the border lines like the border line of the side panel of nautilus and the frame of the windows to gray or black.
thanks.
I cannot get the nova gtk theme to display properly. I have both the pixmap engine and mist engine installed, but the title bar doesn't change and a few other things are off. It seems like many themes I use don't really work completely like they use to, is there a problem with gnome or something after an update?
Here's an example of the problem:

Versus what it should look close to:
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Nova?content=57310
To keep it simple, when I used this theme with and without the mist engine and gtk1.2 packages, there was no difference in the result.
It still looked pretty, and a few decorations were displayed, but, at least judging from the beautiful screenshots, it didn't seem like it was how it was supposed to be displayed
It didn't seem like the full thing
*My last sentence is somewhat ironic I guess, since the style is minimalist.*
*<insert 'LOLOlO00LOLOLoL0L11!!ONE!!!~!' here>*
nevermind... totally, totally, my bad. I installed gtk-engines-mist, and not gtk2-engines-mist. oops
Beautiful themes... your desktop style is.. bah, pretty much perfect..
Just extract Nova.tar.gz in your file manager and move Nova-Blue, Nova-Gold, Nova-Pink and Nova-Lime folders to .themes folder in your home directory.
Or open your terminal, type
tar -xf Nova.tar.gz
cp -r Nova/* ~/.themes
right when i thought i found the theme i searched for so long (clearlooks look a like theme with black panel) i get disappointed
the clock and the bars of the goodies in the panel are not visible (same color as the panel itself)
i'm using XFCE
can u take care of this please ?
Unfortunately, I have tried many times to get it working properly with xfce4 panel but to no avail. You can just use gnome panel instead of xfce4 panel or you could use an applet called XfApplet that will enable you to use gnome applets on xfce4 panel.
i definitely love your work, minimal and beautiful... however, i have a strange issue with firefox only, the text of the menu bar and inside the menus is white when selected. any other app will show the right color (lime in my case)... do you have any idea about what went wrong ?
here's an example :

in that case, as we can't see the mouse cursor, i was selecting "file > new tab"
thanks in advance

What App did you use for the screenshot #1?
It is called ThemePreview-2.
Great Work! I love it. Could you tell me how to change the color of the border lines like the border line of the side panel of nautilus and the frame of the windows to gray or black. thanks.
Hi! Nice Work! Can you tell me the name of the fonts used in the screenshots? Especially the one used by conky!
Thank you! The font used by conky is bauhaus and other font on my desktop is lucida grande.
How do you install this thing? i have mist and pixmaps engine and I'm using debian. Anyone?
Say, any chance you could add an alternate version where you include the scrollbar buttons (up/down or left/right) ??

hey, i am having the same problem. How did you fix it?
if only all gnome theme creators had half the dedication and talent you have...
Stunning work! There seems to be an issue with epiphany's url entry though, it draws a double border. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks
Really cool clean theme, well done. :) I don't want to get on your nerves, but could you send me the icon theme too, please? Thx :) (thori_@gmx.de)

I try to install this theme and it says invalid file format. I really want this theme, any ideas. I have Ubuntu, with Gnome, I'm lost.
Just extract Nova.tar.gz in your file manager and move Nova-Blue, Nova-Gold, Nova-Pink and Nova-Lime folders to .themes folder in your home directory. Or open your terminal, type tar -xf Nova.tar.gz cp -r Nova/* ~/.themes

Thanks. Yes, I'm aware of this. Some of the Firefox themes doesn't work probably with Nova. Just use the default firefox theme. That is what I use.
please, what is the name of the metacity theme?
