i have a question though: i am using the qtcurve gtk engine (from the debian repos) in gnome, and i would like to change the gray background color. i assume it is possible because it worked for gtk applications in kde, where the color from the kde style was applied to the gtk theme somehow. i tried to edit the gtkrc file, but this doesn't work for all widgets (menubars for example). how do i do this? - Aug 16 2010

when i made this theme, ubuntu shipped with the ubuntulooks engine by default, but they abandoned it some time ago. but i guess if you still want to use this theme, you could try installing the ubuntulooks engine from here: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Ubuntulooks+Engine?content=43255 - Feb 15 2010

so as for now i am stuck with either gdesklets, which are not as good as screenlets but have pseudo transparency, or screenlets with really ugly borders.
will there ever be better support for non-composite environments? - Oct 17 2008

there are two things i thought of you could try:
1) open the gtkrc file, scroll to the bottom and delete the panel segment (which works for gnome-panel, but, i thought, does not interfere with xfce panel).
2) try the human theme or another one that uses the ubuntulooks engine, and see if the bug is engine-related. - Sep 28 2008

just like in the list view would be best, without border.
otherwise very consistent and beautiful, and definitely the most modern engine out here. - Sep 14 2008

i am not using compiz at the time, and although i am not missing any distinction between active and inactive window, i understand your concern. i once considered leaving away the metacity buttons of the inactive window completely, but that would be too radical. i don't really have a good idea here. you're right, making the text lighter doesn't look good, and transparency breaks the gradient.
about the buttons: the outline of the active button is determined by the gtk:bg of the normal button, and i already made that a little lighter than bg of the panel, for the reason you said.
only the wallpaper varies, and i tested it mostly with a wallpaper of #808080 (being kind of the average wallpaper) for the transparent panel. it's not perfect but the outline didn't look too heavy to me. i don't want to use another engine, clearlooks and murrine being the options here. clearlooks active buttons don't look inward and murrine i just can't stand.
thank you for the comment, though i haven't really given you a solution now :-( - Sep 14 2008

the brown does not look bad in this one, but a color-neutral version would be even better. no color, no danger of interfering with something else on your screen.
anyway, i like dust, it has a future! - Sep 11 2008

however i will see if there is another possibility to exploit: in metacity you can set different styles for different window types (such as toolwindow, dialog, etc). i can't promise but i'll try it out. - Sep 10 2008

you could still edit the gtkrc file itself, the gtk color scheme is in the first line: selected_bg_color:#CCC189
as to the xfwm4 theme: ~1 week :-)
i have been using xfce for a while myself, sometimes its hard because everything is explained and fixed for gnome. - Sep 09 2008

the start-here.png goes to, for example if you use Tango icons: /usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/places/
to change the panel background just right click on the panel to access the panel properties and set one of the image files in the panel folder als background.
hope that explains. - Aug 10 2008

go to appearance settings and change tooltip background and foreground colors to something like black on yellow instead of white on black.
unfortunately the notification uses tooltip colors from the theme without being prepared to anything else but yellow, nothing i can do about that, still i will keep white on black default, for it looks way better in normal tooltips.
hope i could help - Jul 27 2008
