- 04/02/09: Fixed a problem in prelight text color inside combo box: it was black for some reason, now it's white (much better).
- 23/03/09: Fixed another little bug in background prelight: text was white being unreadable, now it has a cool dark background, matching the theme.
I've darkened the grey color from #808080 to #757575: now selected text is more visible and readable. Of course i've also changed all the gtk images to match the new color!
-24/03/09: Thanks to drakfire now my suite also has an Xfwm theme, for pure Xfce fans! Go try it!
- 29/03/09: The Elegant for Rent suite is today completed by an openbox (by rent0n) and a metacity (by drakfire) theme. Enjoy!
- 25/05/09: Removed icons from menus and buttons and added a fix for the CPU frequency applet in the gtk theme. Added a nice space between menu and submenu in the openbox theme.
- 07/07/09: Fixed scrollbar width, now they are smaller!
- 16/06/09: Minor changes including cleaner active tabs and simpler resize handle.
- 24/06/09: Added a small border on gtk menu items to remove the "white on white effect".

Is it possible that you will/could modify it, to also support gtk3?
Anyway, thank for this nice theme!

Can I ask you to try to debug your theme maybe comparing it to Elegant Mine and solve this issue? Everybody uses OpenOffice, so it's kind of fundamental.
I tried to solve it myself, but all I managed to do was (by changing "inactivetext2") apply Elegant Mine's colors, resulting in correct menubar white text on dark bg, but screwing up the opened menu itself, leaving it white on white. I'm sure someone with a bit of experience like you will be able to fix it!
Thank you and keep up the good work!

BUT, since i love and often use different themes, including dark ones, that don't work with openoffice, i've just folowed this simple howto/workaround that actually solves the problem for every single theme you'll ever use in your life --> http://www.rebelzero.com/fixes/openofficeorg-dark-theme-workaround-with-ubuntu-804/8
Hope you'll find this useful! Let me know! ;)

I like elegant brit but after a while i always get annoyed by the high contrast (black / white) and switch to something softer.
This theme is still elegant but with soft grey colors which are very easy on the eyes.
The icon-theme i like best with it is allgrey.
Great job!!!!

This was exactly what i was trying to do: a simple, usable and grey-based Elegant theme.
So, i have to try these allgrey icons!
