Description: A dark (black & white) theme for gnome desktop. Thanks to Gnome Fanatic for the name!
I just recieved mail being told this theme is the default in PCLOS Gnome 2008 !
More info and download here: http://linuxgator.org/
suggestions very welcome!
PLS! tell me what you think!
!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!!
To install: 1.Download the file to your desktop 2.Right click the file and select extract here, then another archive pops up,do the same for that. 3.open a terminal and run these commands:
first sudo cp -r $HOME/Desktop/SlicknesS /usr/share/themes
second (this one fixes firefox,don't need this for ff3, only 2 This fix is made by user twrock, so if he wants me to delete it i will) cp /usr/share/themes/SlicknesS/userChrome.css $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/chrome
4.Open the theme manager, you can now see the SlicknesS theme as a theme, when you click on it , it suggests taners amazing wallpaper he made for this theme!! click apply to apply the wallpaper!
One REALLY HUGE thank you to artist Taner for his fantastic wallpaper!Last changelog:
2.2.2 probably the last update, this should fix the message of an engine "" not installed I can't try it myself if it works (since I don't have gnome installed) so if anyone would be kind to let me know if it works, it would be kind This will probably be my last fix as I'm not on gnome anymore.
2.2.1 Fixed my previous F**kup. (at least I hope so) (it's been tested on ubunut 7.10). If anyone still has any kind of problem please be so kind and let me know!
To read full changelog read changelog.txt in the SlicknesS folder.
I've been using SlicknesS for almost 2 years now, no problems...but now the new upcoming version of Firefox (3.6) is having a text color issue with it. The menu bar text [File, Edit, Help, etc] is black and all-but unreadable :(
I filed a bug report w/ Mozilla as I never had this problem with FF 3.0 & 3.5. However, is it possible it's a problem with this theme? I haven't been able to replicate it with other dark themes, even the 'SlicknesS-black' variant.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=532164
In some white GTK menus, white selections are made with invisible white text (eg. Banshee music list).
I have also found that some menus remain light gray instead of following the dark theme while the text on the menus is gray or white as per the theme. This made it nearly impossible to read many menus (eg. smplayer).
To fix these issues, I found ~/.themes/SlicknesS/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and played around with it, tweaking various colours and observing the results. Eventually I changed the following:
within style "default" {}
bg[SELECTED] = "#FFFFFF"
to: bg[SELECTED] = "#C5EBB6"
text[SELECTED] = "#FFFFFF"
to: text[SELECTED] = "#000000"
within style "menu" = "default" {}
bg[NORMAL] = "#000000"
to: bg[NORMAL] = "#000001"
The last one made the gray menus adopt the theme's dark background for menus. For some reason, the value can't be 000000 (black) but any other colour makes the dark menus tinted with that colour. For example, setting a 00C000 (green) value would make the gray menus use the theme's background but tinted green.
I use slickness about an year and i like it. I installed firefox adds "read it later" and i like to use it, but the problem is that the text is black and really difficult to read. Please help? :) p.s. firefox text is in white color. sorry for my english... thanks in advance
i get this error
missing destination file operand after `/home/upietro/Desktop/SlicknesS/usr/share/themes'

Please make this theme more complete. I like this theme very much
Thanks for this great theme. It's really the best I've ever seen on my screen :-)
But: It's quite hard to resize the windows horizontally because of the missing border...
Anyway: Thanks for this theme
definitely a slick theme, like a lot.
unfortunately facing a problem, the inactive toolbar buttons are not smooth, which was a bug long time before. shouldn't be now, right? i am using intrepid, btw.

"I'm not on gnome anymore."

Is there any fix for qt4 gtk+ theme? There is white font in all menus.
I just changed the GUI Style in QT Configuration to Cleanlooks. Not nice, but better than the whiteout in GTK+
