Seems to work now. It wasn't uploading files for me last night. I got some odd error. - Jun 19 2018
Gnome-look isn't wanting to upload the file. I'll see if I can find another host for it.

Can you show a screenshot of your question? - May 14 2010
Thanks.

I played with it some last night and thing I've found a fix for it. I also stumbled across a fix for the add custom launcher dialog.

I also agree with the emerald borders needing to not have opacity. I'll try to fix that in the next few days. - Aug 28 2008
Really appreciate the feedback. I'll look into those problems.

Possible that you can provide some screenshots?

The firefox menu is firefoxes fault, but can be fixed with a userChrome.css file. I'll try to provide one. - Aug 27 2008

It would be a 5 minute fix if you wanted to do that yourself. There are two places it could be. Go into the metacity folder and you'll prolly see some png files for the buttons. Open them up and see if the bar exists in the file. You can use gimp to erase it. If it's not there it may be in the .xml file. Just search it for button and you'll be able to pick out the verticle line adn delete it. - Nov 11 2008

GDM/themes in the wrong directory.

Try user/share/themes - Jun 16 2008
with "aftermarket" themes some programs do not use the theme. Synaptic and the update manager are a couple of them.

If you move the theme from your /.themes directory to the directory the default themes are located it will work for those apps. - Jun 10 2008
do you have the pixmap engine installed?

Send me a screenshot. - Apr 03 2008
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=65822 - Sep 07 2007
for the firefox fix see the comment directly above the comment you posted. It's a problem with firefox that all dark themes cause.

The app launcher gui is also a known problem with pixmap themes. I still have not found a way around this. If someone knows of a fix please let me know. - Aug 24 2007
I'm not sure how to fix the unreadable app. I've tried, but I think it may be an issue with the app. I'll look into it again tho.

Regarding the different size panels. I'll look into that as well. - Aug 22 2007
It should work fine with compiz fusion. - Aug 11 2007
This can be fixed. Need to go into /gtk-2.0/panel and change the png file to be taller. I think it's panel_bg26.png or something. Open in gimp and stretch the height to whatever you want. - Aug 11 2007
Thanks for the comments and feedback. I have some updates on the way. Chocolate scrollbars, more humanish color on the toolbars and windows, and better progress bars. - Jul 20 2007
I should add that the kicker panel and panel buttons are pretty much from scratch. With a mouse over they highlight with an orange glow from the bottom similar to the blue on the vista aero theme. The buttons span the entire height of the panel.

I may play with the window min/max/close buttons next.

I think it looks really nice. However, until this gets implemented :

I'm think you'll need a dividing line on the bottom of the metacity. Don't get me wrong, I really like the look you current have! - Apr 02 2008

Please elaborate?

How do you get the same look I have created with 2 lines of code and adjusting the contrast? - Feb 26 2008
Cimi, I really appreciate all the work you've done with the look of linux. You're doing a great job.

I've tried asking you guys about patching in my ideas.

For whatever reason you always give me some condescending reply about how you don't like it and it's ugly. Hence, I created my own engine to do with how I please.

And now you say my engine is worthless...

Thanks, I guess I should toss all my work away and not even bother trying. - Feb 25 2008
Thanks chrispy for the helpful comments! - Feb 25 2008
what errors do you get in the log? - Feb 10 2008
Edit -> Background and Emblems

Then just drag the background over to nautilus - Jan 08 2008
nope. no pixmaps here. ;)

If we can rally the troops on this feature request for gnome a theme like this would be functional too.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=500437 - Jan 07 2008
That's sort of what I was thinking. Making this another option within the clearlooks engine for the menubarstyle and toolbarstyle.

good catch on the bottom corners. I meant to get them, but got sidetracked and forgot about them. Fixed now.

Both button types are included. just rename the metacity-1 directory to your buttons of preference. - Jul 29 2007
I'll try to fix those issues. Also fixing the decoration buttons. Check back for updates. - Jul 27 2007
Maybe the filename had something to do with it. "white?!" I changed it to "white".

Seems to work now.

Check back as I'm going to update the window decoration buttons to white as well. - Jul 25 2007
yep. me too. Not sure. Seems like a host problem. I reloaded the file. - Jul 25 2007
