Hi first off i'd like to say congrats on a very nice, visually appealing theme, one that i'd certainly like to use frequently. At the moment however i can't really do this as im having lots of problems with your metacity theme, i don't know if this is just because i am missing a theme engine or something? also certain applications seem to be all but unusable for me including firefox
Very nice; attractive, understated and tasteful. They're all good, and "Chocolate" is my favourite. I like Ubuntu, but I'm not so fond of the default themes or "yet another looks like Win/Mac blue/black/whatever", so this makes a nice replacement.
By far the most professional looking brown theme I've seen yet. It's not perfect, but I truly wish that the Ubuntu art team would use this as a jumping off point. Compared to 8.10's dark theme, this is leagues ahead!
Kudos!
why do you remove the edge from windowborders, and the ability to grab the edge and make the window smaller?
And the metacity is to small for windows, dosnt fit the window, looks like its not attached to the windows actually
One more thing, the color is a bit too greyish in my opinion, sort of destroys the whole look of the theme, maybe an update with a little more brown, not to much thou, but just so it mixes in with the whole impression of the theme??
Kind Regards MikeDK
i'd like to add that i really like this theme, it really rocks, ive set it up with the smokikon0.7 theme, looks really nice with this theme.
Kind Regards MikeDK
yes, Actually I noted the problem with the metacity, I'm working on it... about the color, I really like the color, just it's a little bit darker than the ubuntu's default theme, anyway, you can change the color in the appearance window, or maybe you can suggest me a color.
hello there, I upload a new version with a new metacity theme that fix the problem of the resize, and now you can choose the color of the windows, go to the appearance > customize > colors and change the values of the tooltips, enjoy!!
Hi there. I'm the guy who created the mockup :) Just noticed this theme while surfing gnome-look... looks good! Try using the panel-bg shipped with the dust theme for the top/bottom panels, looks pretty smooth. Keep on the good work!
Hey men your work looks great and the others 2 themes looks wonderful too, nice balance and correct choice of fonts and bottoms image you are and artist jejeje i´m really pleased with your work :D keep walking xD
thanks, maybe you'll be interest in the new version (many bugs solved and a new theme added), there is not rounded corners, i don't know if that it's possible in the drop down menues.
it's the elementary icon theme by dan rabbit http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Elementary+Icons?content=73439, there are two alternate folders in the zip file, you have to replace the default folder icon with the ubuntu folder icon, additional i replace the start here icon with a ubuntu logo icon from the human iconset
If you want your idea included, you should set up a wiki at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/
I would personally find a different set of icons, just because the blue clashes a little bit, but GOOD WORK!

I really like your mockup, I think it's one of the best gnome Mockup I've seen... you also stay in the good work

Thanks and I really happy that you like this theme, but I don't think that I'm an artist, the original inspiration come from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/Hardline.
nice theme... where will I get that wallpaper?
thanks, I found the wallpaper here: http://www.macwallpapers.in/wallpaper/Tiger/
Nice.And if the edges of the drop down menu could be round,that would be perfect!
