Description: This is "Dusk" a Linux/gnome desktop theme which runs on vanilla murrine engine so far It's pretty quick (about 2.60-3.00 average on gtk perf) completely legible, error free and aesthetically pleasing to me. Everything like global menu, elementary the panel etc all compatible. All colors are changeable via appearance preferences. I added some colors to the gtkrc file - gtk color pallet specifically for the menubar and toolbar. Which if you wish to change will require changing the rgb hex color codes manually in a text editor.
Note! built for use with Nautilus Elementary.
Any questions - Happy to help.
I hope you enjoy using this theme.Last changelog:
Mon 25 oct 2010 - Couple of small code edits during the weekend, additional information to the introductory blurb and a few shots of it running in a virtual environment with full compositing.
Updated Wed Oct 27 2010 : Over 200 lines of code added to the gtkrc file Application fixes.
The only visual cosmetic changes are to the scale sliders which are now triangular.
I never heard of gtkperf so I tried it on my own theme. I don't seem to see much difference between Dusk, Function & Lambda (my themes) and Ambiance. Perhaps my hardware is the factor?
I heard - read about it over on the gnome org theming tutorial stuff and tried it out I think it probably does vary depending on hardware but it's the only way I know of of measuring it...
Ps Congrats on your superb themes technically great... :)
but...
How many test rounds do you set it on on gtkperf?
mine's set to standard 100 rounds and i get 24.75 average on intel GM965 card
kind regards mikedk
Thanks Mike I just run the test during the build and a few times after completion.... It's also being run virtually as I have not yet loaded it on my old box. The readings vary but it's definitely nice and snappy - responsive for me anyway.

I didn't know Gtkperf existed. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Well the figures may not be universally reliable but it gives you some clue how it's performing.

what is the name of the icontheme your using with it? i seem to remember that iconthemes can do some good for speed in a theme.
@MikeDK : The icon theme is - Any Color You Like With a gradient and cut out filter via the icon script configurator.
