Description: this theme is based on Will Williams mockup, i used the image of the item menu from the slim-gelatine theme.Last changelog:
v0.5 - added the metacity theme, don't have transparency but look decent with the wood background. - change the sliders and the entries, now they match with the mockup - fix the problem with the themes in the appearance window, now you install and the themes appear in the selection menu. - add some instruccion for complement the look and feel of the theme.
v0.4 - Only dark themes are available for this update. - fix some bugs whit the combobox widget - many workarounds for some controllers - improve the panel v0.3 - fix the menubar height in the panel - i update the emerald theme to works with white backgrounds, not much but works - fix the problem whit openoffice and firefox menu bar, it's no the same bar but look well - three color scheme, a dark color escheme inspired by ibex will theme by razumok, a light color scheme inspired in the willibex_mod by danielzupo, an the grey theme by me =). - fix the background of the main menu, now its transparent like the panel.
v0.2 - change the color scheme, now it's no so dark and it's customizable - added a scrollbar style adapted from Air GTK theme by Kimik - fixed the menu image background
i like what you have done with the title bar icons.. min max close are perfect but the title bar is just too big!!
Why dont you make it smaller.. half the size almost to match the nice slick icons.
The yellow doesn't do this theme any favours. It seems a bit random in contrast to the other colours in the theme.
In the screenshot you've got Rhythmbox, which has off-white backgrounds for its search panes, next to the file manager which has a yellow background for its contents pane. This variance across applications is very inconsistent and not good for the theme (or any theme for that matter).
Also the emerald border, being semi-transparent and glass-like, seems at odds to the very opaque, dark colour inside the windows.
Sorry but this theme doesn't do it for me. (Yet.)
I can't believe Mark Shuttleworth is serious when says he wan'ts Ubuntu to look better than OS X.
When there's original themes like this that don't make it in to the release.
I think ubuntu is looking dated. It has evolved so quickly in every area except looks.
I don't know one person who uses the default theme!
I'm sure this theme was put forward to be ibex theme but was ignored.
I thought the ubuntu orange theme would have made it, but what do I know.

Who thinks its time for change?
I like your theme despite the comments made by chilluns. I also like that wallpaper, I've got it in black but would appreciate a link to a brown version.
Thanks!

sorry, i'm working in the metacity, in the screenshot i used a emerald theme, if you have emerald installed you can download the emerald theme from the link above.
Im experiencing the same thing as stefo91 is. The theme installs just fine and i can find it in ~/.themes/. It just does not show up in the Appearance Properties window.
When I try to install, I receive a message: «Impossible to move the directory over the directory» (in italian «Impossibile spostare la directory sopra la directory»). What's the problem? I'm using Intrepid..is the theme only for Hardy?
Hello,
a good start for a new theme :)
You can fix the mainmenu color with a user CSS for Firefox like:
#tools-menu, #file-menu, #view-menu, #edit-menu,
#history-menu, #bookmarksMenu, #helpMenu {
color:red !important;
}
Much more of that stuff: http://userstyles.org
Keep on!

This is a great theme, the yellow and brownish colors work perfectly together
Thanks

i agree, weird yellow thing, perhaps just a hint of yellowish on greyish somethingish could do it...
The only thing I don't like about this theme is the fact that yellow is used on the GDM and the background for folders.

I found the wallpaper here: http://www.hachemuda.com/2008/08/08/descarga-el-fondo-de-pantalla-y-tema-gdm-que-mas-esta-triunfando-este-verano/ but in deviantart it's the original.
One of the ugliest themes I have ever seen. Voted bad.
I like the metacity theme in the screenshot, but when the theme is installed the metacity doesn't change.

yeah, you have to go to customize, and in controllers select willibex, i'm working to do a theme, but for now this is the solution

I was referring to gnome main menu
