elegant-dark.jpgelegant-dark-flat.jpgAs I’ve seen requests for a dark elegant theme, I’ve started to work on this.
This is again deerived of Elegant Brit (by fmrbpensador AKA What is in a name? on ubuntuforums.org)
There is now a flat variant with corresponding metacity and emerald themes (links bellow).

Here’s a first release of it, including the metacity theme (emerald will come soon). There is now an emerald theme for each variant.
These themes are not global/mac menu ready (hopefuly also come soon).here is a mac/global menu version.

It might have some bugs, please let me know if you find some. Comments and suggestions ares welcome.
Hope you’ll enjoy it :)

Install by extracting in your ~/.themes directory or drag and drop the tarball in the theme manager.
Note: to have metacity buttons on the left, open gconf-editor, find the key /apps/metacity/general/button_layout and change it to : menu:minimize,maximize,close

Update : 1.0.3 : – slight color changes (widgets borders, notebook and tabs with a less dark grey) – started and added a flat variant with the corresponding metacity.
Full changelog availaible in the tarball.

Gtk themes Elegant Cold Blue flat and black bar versions

applications, computing, config 2 Comments »

capture.pngcapture-1.pngHere’s two new versions of my Elegant mod : a flat gray one and a black bar one (the closest to elegant brit and elegant one).

These two have the corresponding metacity theme included, based on elegant brit metacity theme (thanks once more to fmrbpensador).

The emerald theme that comes with the MacMenu version of Elegant Cold Blue can be used with the flat version gtk theme (same colors). I haven’t made a mod of the elegant brit emerald to use with the black bar version but the elegant brit emerald should fit though the close button is orange.

They are not global or mac menu ready (see my previous post if you need a global or mac menu version).

Screenshots tell more than words, click them for a larger view.

Gtk Theme Elegant Cold blue MacMenu

applications, computing, config 7 Comments »

17032008.pngThis is not the the first time that I modify a gtk theme to fit my needs but this is maybe the first time I’m really happy with it :)
So I decided to release it. Maybe I won’t be alone to like it !

Elegant Cold Blue is a mod of Elegant Brit by fmrbpensador (AKA What is in a name? on ubuntuforums.org) who I thank a lot for all his awesome work.
This mod had a bit darker background color and all orange turned to a cold blue. It is also macmenu (and globalmenu) ready.
I also made an emerald theme (window decorations) that complete the theme.

Install by extracting to your ~/.themes directory or drag and drop the tarball to the theme manager.
Note : you may want to set Panel/menubar-black.png as panel background using panel properties dialog.
