I would like to ask you if I can use this theme as base for the next version of my gtk theme CT-gtk (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/CT-gtk?content=106036). I know your theme is GPL'd but I didn't want to start without your approval. - Nov 01 2009

To make your Panel background transparent open /home/you/.themes/CT-gtk-light/panel.rc - go to line 8. Thats what you'll find:
bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "Panel/panel-bg.png"
bg_pixmap[SELECTED] = "Panel/panel-bg.png"
bg_pixmap[INSENSITIVE] = "Panel/panel-bg.png"
bg_pixmap[PRELIGHT] = "Panel/panel-bg.png"
bg_pixmap[ACTIVE] = "Panel/panel-bg.png"
What you see here are the panel backgrounds for the different panel situations. You see that the current panel bg is 'Panel/panel-bg.png'.
You just have to change 'Panel/panel-bg.png' to 'Panel/panel-bg3.png'. Then open terminal and type: 'killall -9 gnome-panel'. Now your current panel bg should be the transparent one.
Alternative way:
Open CompizConfig SettingsManager and search "Opacity, Brightness and Saturation" settings - open these. Now you have add a new field in the 'windo specific settings'. Type "(name=gnome-panel)" into the "windows-field" and chose your window value. 100 is no transparency and 0 is full trancparency.
To make your menus transparent add again a new setting and type "PopupMenu | DropdownMenu | (type=Menu)" into the "windows"-field. After this chose your window values.
Works fine for me - tell me if you have problems. - Jun 06 2009
> "I think since you have a darker panel (which I like a lot) than themes like Shiki-colors, that the metacity doesn't have to be as quite as light as you made it (Although it could be made to look nice as is)."
>> No, it's not done to look nice as is. :D I'd call the lighter version a kind of beta - I think it was 1:00AM here in germany when I made it - this morning I took a look and thought 'wtf!? - this is too light' :D
> "If you want to keep the current shade I think the menu font needs to be lighter, but I'm not sure you could accomplish this in Firefox without the Firefox CSS "hack" unless you changed the main menu background to white - you probably know more about this limitation than me. You might not want to go that route because of that issue."
>> Hm, yes, how I said, don't want to keep current shade.
> "Also, the gradient for the menu bar background strikes me as odd - I think maybe it should be more subtle or gradual...but I'm not really sure. I suppose I should whip out Gimp myself and experiment... :) I might get time later."
>> I already thought about the gradient - maybe I'll change the color to black and do some small changes. You'll see in the next version. Feel free to do it :)
So here my new todo list:
- make light version a bit darker
- change menubar gradient - Jun 06 2009
>> This depends on the way you've installed the theme - the folder should be found in '/usr/share/themes' or '/home/yourusername/.themes/' - note: you have to be root to make changes in /usr/share/themes/. You know that there are different versions of the theme now - you have to go to the folder of the theme that you're using and make the changes there.
> "fyi: I installed the light one, to make my top panel not too black, is it correct ?"
>> No ;D the light one just makes metacity and menus more light - But I think the current panel background isn't too dark at all. - Jun 06 2009
> "-It is hard to distinguish the active tab in Firefox from the others."
>> I also have a problem with the tabs - I already reworked them but it seems like I have to do it again.
> "-I think there needs to be more separation (maybe color or contrast-wise) between the metacity and the panel."
>> Sorry but why do you care about separation of panel and metacity? :P
> "-Related to the above, the dark black of the Metacity makes it so that I cannot see the gradient except from a sharp angle on my screen. I would suggest lightening it up a little. Some darker themes that seem to handle this well are Shiki-colors and New Wave.
Maybe you could make a lighter version for testing?"
>> Interesting thing - maybe there will be a lighter version, maybe a complete new metacity theme or maybe both - I've to think about. But what ever it will be, it will be lighter.
So here's my todo list:
- rework active Tabs
- spend some time with metacity themes :)
- seperation of metacity and panel? Maybe not - I'm waiting for good arguments/suggestions from your side :P - Jun 05 2009

@ fredbird67: Thanks for your comment - after taking a closer look I was sharing your opinion. I've changed it - please tell me if you like or not but don't be disappointed because it isn't done like on Slickness. ;D - Jun 02 2009
