I created some GTK2 themes from your NewslickneSS theme and I'm so glad to see your skills going toward the KDE world! Tibana is beautiful, thank you. - Jan 16 2013

Where is your respect for freedom of choice? Would you want me telling you which themes you can and cannot use? I doubt it. Please, just live your life and stop trying to force your beliefs on others. - Nov 04 2012

I wasn't going to upload Charlotte because I felt it was "your" theme since you made the changes.. I merely did the graphics work. However, if you don't mind sharing I will indeed upload it as a new theme. Thank you very much :) - Oct 18 2012

Ok, I found a new technique that lets me change gradients and I've finished the theme you requested. Please download the theme from this link and see if it meets your needs:

Unfortunately the image you supplied isn't going to work. This image has a gradient and it will look horrible when tiled across a window. If you can find an image that doesn't have a gradient applied to it I can use it and this would be an easy project. - Oct 16 2012

The green buttons in my screenshot are part of the icon theme and will change with your desired icon theme. The red items and background texture can be changed easily. I"ll get this done today. - Oct 16 2012

Which components are you wanting to change (buttons,progressbar, etc.)? And which colors are you thinking about? - Oct 15 2012

Roxy has been updated. I enhanced the gradient on the scrollbars and stepper buttons a bit. - Aug 15 2012

GTK2 Themes by ardchoille45 10 comments

Let me see if I can enhance that gradient a bit on the scrollbars without taking anything away from the idea of the theme. I'll keep you posted. - Aug 15 2012

GTK2 Themes by ardchoille45 10 comments


Ok, I got the screenshot open and I can see gradients on the scrollbar and stepper buttons in that screenshot.

Thank you very much for making an openbox theme to match Roxy :) - Aug 15 2012
Roxy

GTK2 Themes by ardchoille45 10 comments

That link won't open for me, just continues loading indefinitely. However, I can assure you that there is a gradient on the scrollbar and stepper buttons. The whole theme is designed to be subtle so the gradients shouldn't be glaring. Perhaps new glasses are in order? - Aug 15 2012
Roxy

GTK2 Themes by ardchoille45 10 comments

The slider and steppers have gradients. Can you provide a screenshot and system info? I may be able to fix this for you, it's working perfectly on my systems. - Aug 15 2012

I'm glad that fixed the issue. Thank you very much for reporting it so I could help make the theme better. - Aug 14 2012

GTK2 Themes by ardchoille45 6 comments

I'm not sure why you're seeing that issue, I'm not seeing it on any of my systems. Regardless, I have made a correction to the theme and uploaded the new version (ver. 1.1). Please try this new version and see if the problem is resolved. - Aug 14 2012

GTK2 Themes by ardchoille45 4 comments

I can reproduce this problem on youtube but not on Google. It's a problem with Firefox not respecting the GTK2 theme. - Aug 13 2012
OPS

GTK2 Themes by ardchoille45 6 comments

I'm unable to reproduce that issue when using this theme on my Linux Mint system. I've checked the theme and it seems fine, I don't see a problem anywhere that would produce this issue.

Try unpacking the theme manually into either ~/.themes or /usr/share/themes and see if the problem is resolved. - Aug 13 2012

I agree, if you don't like it, then don't use it. If you're not using it then don't waste time with negative comments. I think this theme looks good for its purpose. - Oct 16 2011

One of the best things about Linux is choice. You want to take our choices away? If someone wants to make their Linux box look like OSX then that is their choice. Stop trying to take choice away. I'll buy a mac when it's open and free like Linux is. Quit your whining. - Sep 19 2011

GTK2 Themes by ardchoille45 6 comments

This theme uses the pixmap engine. Yeah, Firefox and Thunderbird don't respect GTK themes, that's why I stopped using those apps. Hopefully Mozilla will implement things into their apps that respect the users' themes and we won't have to go out of our way to make our desktops look nice. - Feb 23 2011

This theme is beautiful and is now my default theme. I designed a Gnomenu theme that blends well with Macbuntu. You can find my iMenu theme here:
