Je devrais essayer quelque chose de plus léger que gnome qui bouffe un peu tro pde mémoire, mais malheureusement pas le temps pour ça en ce moment.

Vous trouverez ci dessous la plupart des ressources utilisées pour ce bureau.

After Elegant Dark, here comes the Elegant Dark MacMenu release, ready for global and macmenu.
You’ll have to add Panel/menubar-black.png (from the theme directory) as background for your panel using panel properties dialog (right click on an empty part of the panel and choose “properties” in the menu).

The corresponding metacity theme is included, there is also an emerald theme Elegant Dark Flat (link bellow). They give the flat looking, mac menu bar and panel have the original elgant dark menu colors.

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

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.

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.

Here’s a brand new theme for ayozone :)
2 columns, fixed width but larger than the old one. Bright colors make it clean and maybe more readable.
There might have some bugs left, feel free to leave a comment here if you find some.
(note: IE fixes aren’t yet implemented).

Here’s an (non exhaustive) list of mac menu compatible themes for gtk :


You can also hack your theme, like I did. I edited the gtkrc file of the theme I use. (the gtkrc file of your theme is located under ~/.themes/[YOUR_THEME_NAME]/gtk-2.0/gtkrc)

here’s the code I added in my gtkrc file :
