Sure. In the gtkrc file (~/.themes/Cool Breeze/gtk-2.0/gtkrc), delete or comment out the line that says "gtk-button-images = 0". I believe it's Line 9. - Aug 19 2009

Oh, I'm sorry. I like the theme.

I've been using a black and green hacker-ish theme for late night coding I built using the Excelsior engine for a while. It looks very nice and has lots of options (great for themers like me!)

Also, it's QT integration is great, thanks! - Jun 04 2009
Seconded. This looks almost exactly the same Excelsior, but with a different name. Even the options are alike. - Jun 04 2009

You can use a circular gradient going from Transparent to black on another layer. Then change the opacity of that layer, and you get a neat lit up effect.

You don't need Photoshop to make nice pictures.Just GIMP and a little knowhow! ;) - May 31 2009

Nice icon! I think this icon makes a lot more sense than some crazy animal head.

A tip to the GIMP folks: change the name and the icon. No one wants to use software called The GIMP. No one cares what the acronym stands for. The icon and their mascot, Wilbur, does not make any sense when trying to recognize the program. Evolution has a mail icon. The GNOME Text Editor has a notepad for an icon. The icons are recognizable. A crazy animal head makes no sense whatsoever. Sorry if my rant is in the wrong place, but I felt this need to be said.

Again, awesome icon. You should show this to the GIMP developers.

NOTE: I always use The GIMP and it is my favorite image editor. - Dec 02 2008

Disregard my replay above and read the one below it. I noticed a slight mistake. Sorry for any inconvinience. - Dec 01 2008
You can change the scrollbars by opening '$HOME/.themes/Synth Blue/gtk-2.0/gtkrc' and commenting out line 758 and uncommenting lines 759 - 761. Basically, lines 758 - 761 should look like this:

758| #class "GtkScrollbar" style "movingscroll"
759| class "GtkScrollbar" style "theme-scrollbar"
760| class "GtkVScrollbar" style "theme-vscrollbar"
761| class "GtkHScrollbar" style "theme-hscrollbar"

just remember not to include the '7xy|'.

I'll make sure to add a give that option in the next release (eg. Synth Blue Type 1, Synth Blue Type 2, Synth Blue Type 3...) so that you can use one with scrollbars you like. - Dec 01 2008

Added the Synth Gray theme especially for you. Sorry it took so long. I've been caught up with a lot of things lately. - Nov 30 2008
I'm going to make a special gray version just for you using the colors from Agray. I'll have it working soon.

In case you'd like to edit the colors yourself in the meantime, the colorscheme is on line 7. - Nov 08 2008
I don't exactly understand what you want (sorry :P). Are asking me to change the color of the progressbars, scrollbars, and such into gray?

In the meantime, please notice that the colors are completely customizable in the Appearance Preferences Dialog.

To get there (you probably know what I am talking about) right-click the Desktop and click Change Desktop Background. Then switch to the Themes tab in the Appearance Preferences Window that pops up and click the Customize button. Another window should pop up with a number of tabs. Click the Colors tab and change the colors around to suit your tastes. - Nov 07 2008

Yeah, I know. I'm currently working on that for the next release. Stay tuned. I should have that out in a couple of days. - Nov 02 2008
I didn't notice becuase I use LaTeX (Gedit-LaTeX plugin actually) rather than OpenOffice.Org, but I see what you mean now. I haven't checked with the new OpenOffice.Org 3.0 but I suspect it might have the same problem. I'll try and make a OpenOffice specific workaround for this.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll try to fix this as soon as possible. - Nov 02 2008

He's right you know.

It matters. This icon set is illegal because it uses proprietary icons created and owned by Apple. It IS illegal.

Most of us care about licensing and freedom. That's _why_ we use Linux, *BSD, etc.

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have the mind to say that to someone in real life, so don't say it online. Anonymity and a public forum doesn't mean you can act like an asshole. Stop being an asshole on the internet and "just shut your mouth big shot". - Nov 30 2008

This theme is quite compact for a Murrine theme. My only gripe is slider length and the scrollbar min length. They are hard to hit with a mouse (although I use my touchpad scroll predominantly) and confusing to identify on a crowded screen (like on an IDE with a lot of files/panes/tabs open). - Nov 07 2008

I'll try g-inspector tomorrow (it's nearly midnight where I am).

I have a DropBox account (although I prefer not to use it). I prefer DevianArt because I like pageviews/favorites/comments/DeviantWatchers/etc. associated with havaing a file on DeviantArt. I am sorry that this is giong to sound mean, but the Download button is quite easy to reach on DeviantArt and I'd rather not forsake all the niceties of DeviantArt.

I hope I did not make you made or sad or annoyed or of any similar feeling. I'd really make me feel bad if I made you mad/sad/annoyed/etc. - Oct 13 2008
Thanks. All the themes I make for my personal use so I test them and use them for at least a couple weeks/months before releasing them. (Actually most of them don't get released because I don't feel that they are good enough for anybody else)

The blue is intense but you get used to it. You can change it to something softer (like #729CFF for a brighter looks or #6484A4 for a more subdued, industrial look) through the GNOME Color Chooser dialog under 'Change Background> Theme > Customize > Colors'. - Oct 06 2008

Ok, I'm going to answer them in order.

1) This is a limitation in the Clearlooks engine that has been bugging me, but I'll try and solve it.

2) I don't know to fix this without using pixmaps. I'll check the Clearlooks documentation.

3) I personally don't like the Clearlooks classic tabs, but I'll add another version that has them.

4) You can change the color of the menubar by editing the '.panelrc' file in the theme's directory (usually '~/.themes/Blue bard/gtk-2.0'). I'll include an alternate version with the white panel in the next release.

Thanks for your comments. I'll try and fix these up and get a new release out soon. - Oct 06 2008
Thanks. The thing on my desktop is conky (http://conky.sf.net). You can compile it or get it from your distribution's repository. If you'd like my '.conkyrc', just ask here in the comment threads. - Oct 06 2008

Could you add the ability to change back to the old Computer icons from 1.0.3? I liked those much better. Also changing folder colors does not seem to be working for me. - Oct 05 2008
I second this. The previous icon was much more professional. This one is really embarrassing to have when there are people around. Like relatives or friends. Seriously, I think it should be changed back. - Sep 20 2008
