GTK3/4 Themes by dusthillresident 32 comments

This looks nothing like Windows 98. - Nov 10 2012

Do you have plans to create a white version of this theme? That would be amazing! Great work, by the way. - Jun 08 2012

Victory Gtk Theme

GTK2 Themes by newhoa 242 comments

Adwaita Cupertino is the only one I've seen that looks as intended in Ubuntu 12.04. The only problem with that theme is the GNOME Fallback Panel, which no theme has been able to theme correctly. It has something to do with the Indicator applet. - Mar 20 2012
Victory Gtk Theme

GTK2 Themes by newhoa 242 comments

It works now. The files are all present and accounted for! The only problem now is Ubuntu 12.04. It kind of breaks GTK3 themes, yours included. - Mar 17 2012

Where did you download that GTK3 widget factory from? I've been looking everywhere for one, but all I can find is the one for GTK2. - Mar 17 2012
Victory Gtk Theme

GTK2 Themes by newhoa 242 comments

I got several errors when trying to extract the files from the archive. The Cinnamon, GTK3 and Unity folders do not contain any files. - Mar 16 2012
Macchiato

GTK2 Themes by SpecKtacle 81 comments

I haven't worked on this theme regularly for over two years. Every time I sit down to work on it, I get distracted by real-life stuff like work and family. Add to that the fact I haven't regularly used Linux in almost a year now. In that time, the Murrine theme engine has updated, so this theme may not even work anymore. Also in that time, GNOME 3 has been released and I don't even know where to begin with that. I cannot guarantee a future release of Macchiato and for this I am sorry. Thank you for understanding. - Nov 30 2011

Unfortunately, my 4shared account expired, and they deleted the wallpapers. I'm not sure where I have them backed up to, but I will try to find them and reupload them for you. - Nov 30 2011

DockbarX

DockbarX Themes by M7S 997 comments

I just upgraded to 0.44 this morning and now DockbarX won't show up in either AWN or Gnome Panel. In AWN, the applet begins to load, but then disappears. In Gnome Panel, the applet loads, but no icons show up. I can access the right-click menu if I guess correctly where the applet is. - Jun 10 2011

GTK2 Themes by Perberos 24 comments

Because they can. - May 15 2010
That looks amazing! - May 03 2010
Lightsteel

Plasma Color Schemes by mbluethgen 4 comments

This is beautiful!

And KDE 4.4's Oxygen theme looks a lot cleaner than 4.3's. - Feb 10 2010
XP Optimized

Beryl/Emerald Themes by musashisakai 3 comments

The buttons need to be spaced a couple pixels apart for it to look more accurate. - Jan 07 2010

GTK2 Themes by naaamo2004 44 comments

Ah, I see what it does.

You ought to upload that to userstyles.org. - Nov 30 2009

How did you get your tabs to look like that in Firefox? - Nov 30 2009
Folderview Screenlet

Conky by Whise 163 comments

Are there any plans to implement a feature that allows the user to use an image instead of just choosing a color for the background of the applet?

I think that'd be awesome. :) - Oct 29 2009
It's only been a day and you already have over a thousand downloads? Congrats!

By the way, your theme is absolutely stunning! - Oct 09 2009
Capriccio

GTK2 Themes by lassekongo83 3 comments

You set the standard for really good themes. Seriously. - Sep 17 2009
I like how you went with black rather than duplicating the Windows 7 blue color.

There is one thing that is a bit weird about your screenshot, though: the titlebar text is a bit too high up. - Aug 01 2009
Gt3 For Gnome!

GTK2 Themes by jameshardy88 39 comments

I love the progress bars and the panel. - Jul 10 2009
Murrina Quiete

GTK2 Themes by bitzer 4 comments

In my opinion, the buttons are a bit too shiny. You should reduce the highlightshade_ratio just a tad on the buttons.

Otherwise, this is a fantastic theme!

As for the low rating: fucking vandals... - Jun 27 2009

Beryl/Emerald Themes by entropyrexor 3 comments

It's a bit large, but nevertheless very good. - Jun 21 2009

GTK2 Themes by KYRN 31 comments

I'm trying to figure out why the rating is so low for this theme. - Jun 14 2009
XPRoyale

Beryl/Emerald Themes by uncholowapo 4 comments

I enlarged the pixmap for the close button to show you what I mean:

http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk122/SpecKtacle/buttonsclose.png

Notice how there is still a border around the button. When this border shows up on an unfocused window, the border doesn't match the titlebar background of the unfocused window.

The best way to fix this would be to remove that border. - May 24 2009
XPRoyale

Beryl/Emerald Themes by uncholowapo 4 comments

... the buttons are too close together and the buttons on the unfocused window don't have transparent corners.

I really like the titlebar background, though! - May 24 2009

Mocha isn't pronounced like моча. It's pronounced like мока, with emphasis on the o. - May 16 2009
Charcoal (SlicknesS Remix)

GTK2 Themes by jameshardy88 30 comments

I got it from here: http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/dists/hardy-hpmini/universe/binary-lpia/luzsans-ttf_1_all.deb

It's a .deb file that installs all the different variants of the font. - May 15 2009
Charcoal (SlicknesS Remix)

GTK2 Themes by jameshardy88 30 comments

This theme would look awesome using the LuzSans font. - May 15 2009
Blue Wave

GTK2 Themes by mazza558 6 comments

Nice work, Mazza!

The progressbars are kind of meh, though. - May 15 2009
cochix

GTK2 Themes by cochix 8 comments

I don't know... it doesn't look anything like Vista to me. It doesn't even look like it's trying to look like Vista.

Either way, it's a nice theme! Good job! - Apr 30 2009
Murrine Clean Blue

I love Skillet!

Oh... your theme's nice, too! - Apr 30 2009

What menu are you using that icon with? GnoMenu? - Apr 25 2009
Macchiato

GTK2 Themes by SpecKtacle 81 comments

That would be Cairo-Dock with custom launcher icons. - Apr 21 2009
Sleak Blue

GTK2 Themes by matthewmx86 10 comments

That is beautiful. It reminds me of Windows 7. However, it retains just a little bit of uniqueness.

Would you mind uploading a screenshot of The Widget Factory? Also, are you using the Segoe UI font? - Apr 21 2009
Macchiato

GTK2 Themes by SpecKtacle 81 comments

Well, I don't use Thunderbird, so I don't know how to fix the issues with it.

However, I downloaded and installed Thunderbird 3.0b2 today and my theme seemed to work fine with it. - Apr 20 2009
Macchiato

GTK2 Themes by SpecKtacle 81 comments

The menubar and toolbar have stayed the same color, #363330, since I first released it. The only color changes I have made are those to fix bugs, such as toolbar text. - Apr 17 2009
Macchiato Double Shot

GTK2 Themes by SaikoBee 8 comments

This isn't a new version of my theme. This is a modification. I allowed the creator of this theme to use the Macchiato name because he asked and because it is based off of my theme. - Apr 13 2009

Black Vista 1.1

Beryl/Emerald Themes by KTATTOO 6 comments

Unfortunately, people are going to see the word Vista and make judgment instead of constructively criticizing your theme. - Apr 07 2009
Mac Like

GTK2 Themes by matthewmx86 8 comments

I really like that slider image. It's a lot better looking that the ones used in other Mac clone themes. - Apr 02 2009
Vista Blue-Theme

Beryl/Emerald Themes by Sasahara 3 comments

You can still install it with the given file. Just extract it and put it in /home/[user]/.emerald/themes - Mar 29 2009
GNOME-colors

Full Icon Themes by perfectska04 824 comments

Do you think you could provide a list of all the icons that are theme-color specific?

I'm thinking of making my own color modifications to the theme, but I don't want to have to search through each folder trying to find which icons to recolor. - Mar 28 2009
Windows Seven Plastic Theme

I think it would have been helpful to the creator of this theme if you had actually said what you didn't like about this version. - Mar 24 2009
