GnomishBeige
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
NOTE:
======
Unfortunately, after years of Gnome3, even minor updates of GTK+ or Gnome-Shell break themes and waste hours of work.
GnomishBeige is a clean beige theme for GTK3, plus a matching GTK2 theme that depends on the latest Murrine and Pixmap engines.
*** Current Dependencies ***
GTK3 = 3.12.X (works with 3.10 and maybe with 3.8 too)
gtk2-engines-murrine >= 0.98.1.1 (for GTK2)
gtk2-engines-pixbuf >= 2.24.10 (for GTK2)
Metacity >= 2.34 (for GTK2)
*** Notes ***
1) Ubuntu users should remove the package(s) "overlay-scrollbar" if they see blackened widget areas or if they just want to have the default scrollbars. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/overlay-scrollbar/+bug/1064147
2) Please take a look at the file "README" in the theme folder for a tip on Epiphany.
3) You won't need the source package unless you want to modify the theme or make a deb or an rpm package from it.

This is my most favorite theme of all time. I've been using it quite a while now. It's beautiful...and yet easy on the eyes. IMO, very tastefully done.

I'm sorry to say that, keeping a distance from everything related to Gnome or GTK, most probably I won't update this theme anymore and, due to the Gnome dev's habit of breaking themes, it won't work with a future version of GTK.
The only GTK theme, that I may update, is E17gtk (for use under E).

Very good and smart theme.
Don't stop, go on this theme.
Used on Debian jessie / xfce4.10 and works with gtk 3.8 (if download from NoobsLab depot)

I voted your nice content up. What about this suggestion:
packing all your themes into one ppa-repository?? This would
make things easier for you in case of maintaining. And users
would have it easier with updating your nice themes.

NoobsLab (https://launchpad.net/~noobslab/) and WebUpd8 (https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/) nicely pack all my Gnome related themes.
Apart from that, on the one hand, PPA only covers Debian based systems and, othe other hand, my focus is on KDE nowadays (Gnome3 breaks themes with every update besides many other problems it creates for users).

Since a few days or weeks, in applications such as transmission or evince, the menus are clear, instead of dark, which makes them hard to read and unconsistent with other applications. I suppose it is a matter of GTK2 / GTK3 difference.
Is this a known issue ? Is there something I can do about it ?
Thanks again.

I'll upload a new version in a few days. Thank you for reminding me :)

I just tested and it seems to work like a charm.
Note that I get a warning in the console output I don't get with Adwaita :
WARNING **: Can't load fallback CSS resource: Failed to import: La ressource dans « /org/gnome/adwaita/gtk-fallback.css » n'existe pas
(Ressource in « /org/gnome/adwaita/gtk-fallback.css » does not exist.)

That console warning isn't related to the theme and seems harmless.

I don't know how to check that but you're probably right about GTK 3.8 being the cause.
Thanks for answering.
Is there a chance GnomishBeige could be integrated in debian repos ? A place I could support that integration ?

WebUpd8 nicely packages all Gnomish themes at:
https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/themes
Also NoobsLab kindly makes deb packages at:
https://launchpad.net/~noobslab/+archive/themes/+index
Please read about the methods of adding repositories to apt or download the packages manually.

Yet, this is a nice theme, which deserves audience, so I'd support its integration in debian, be it as a gtk-theme-gnomish package or as part of a greater package like gtk-themes-extra-something.

I think a GTK theme should be directly related to Gnome for them to add it to gnome-themes-extra and GnomishBeige isn't so. I'm not sure though.

Are you sure you haven't changed or removed anything? Please download the source and retry! That command should be issued from inside the folder gnomishbeige-20121210.

I've also had to add "libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev" as build dependency or else it would fail to build with another error.
