Description: For those who have not yet noticed, Gnome Look has a great many themes that are either copies of Mac OS, or copies of Vista (and I'll even confess to have contributed an XP Look-alike). This is my first attempt to contribute a theme that looks great, without being a Mac or Vista wannabe.
This is not Aero. This is not Aqua.
This is Pyro.
Known Issues: * Liferea, and certain other apps, do not play well with dark themes. * AWN's Stacks applet will use the window text color (most dark themes use white) for the text on its white background. This may happen with Pyro if you set the window text color to white or any other light color that is difficult to read on a white background. * Some hardware may render this theme a little too dark. If you want to lighten it (and get Open Office to not use its dark theme icons), use the Gnome color chooser to set the window background to "#383838". * The "Read Me" file is an open document. If you are somehow running Gnome 2.20 on an ancient Linux distro with neither KOffice nor Open Office, you'll just have to wing it.Last changelog:
I voted this good for being creative and
not trying to mimic something else, I'm all
with you that linux does not need to look like
vista or osx, and it's pretty much proven
already that it can if it wants to.
I think we insted should focus on trying
to create something that is even more
beatiful (yeah, vista and osx are both
extremely beatiful) ,that ain't easy but
this, is a step in the right direction!!
I especially like the tabs!
Keep up the good work!
