I think a dark theme with orange highlights would be a great new direction
to go in. A dark theme is working out great for Ubuntu studio. If we do
decide to go that route, I think we should definitely consider the Aurora
GTK engine. It looks great with dark color schemes, and is currently the

Here is another Aurora screenshot, this time I tweaked the gtkrc to make the
scale handels look rubberized. I must say I like it quite a bit.

I tried to pull of the same effect in clearlooks and nodoku, but it seems
that Aurora is the only theme
One more proposal :)
This is based on Moomex, which is the 2nd highest rated gtk2 theme on
gnome-look. It is based on the Clearlooks engine, but has some pixmap
goodness thrown in. Can't get much more stable than good ol' clearlooks I
imagine. I've modified it a little bit, including making the sl
I do like those diagnol gradients quite a bit. I would like to hack aurora
to add that feature but I've never really delved that deep into C. Here is
another gtkrc I did, this time incorporating the moomex pixmap theme into
Aurora.

The murrina theme may not support those diagnal gradiants, but It does have
nice up turned gradients on the sides of buttons. Probably much more
functional than the diagnal gradient. I imagine the diagnol ones would look
wierd on something like a progress bar that changes sizes.

I like those relections, I like 'em alot, especially the fixed angle ones in
the middle of the buttons. I wish they stood out with a bit more contrast
though. I would also propose making the fixed angle reflection curve
slightly at the ends towards becoming parallel with the button's borders.

I agree, as much as I like dark themes, there are just too many kinks to
work out. I do like the idea of packaging an aditional dark theme with hardy
though. It would be a good base to build from if we wanted to make a dark
theme default in hardy+1

I agree about Tango. It's nice and all, but I want something more detailed,
realistic, and well, different. I think working off the Oxygen theme
wouldn't be a bad idea since there will already be quite a lot work done on
it. Mime types and actions would already be completed. We'd mostly just have

I really like the Caramello theme's colors.

My thoughts exactly. The separator looks great, but the gloss is waaay to
heavy. You can't read the titlebar in some of the screenshots. It is
dripping with style though. =)

Yeah, the main concept is that not every button looks the same, there is
some random variance thrown in by creating parts of the widget
algorithmically. Its a great concept, but the mockups arn't that hot.
Something like random noise in the background fo instance.

Dark Themes have come up in discussion here, but also a little bit on Planet
Gnome recently. Jimmac, in this post: http://jimmac.musichall.cz/log/?p=395 is
very pro dark themes. But he also suggests that vanilla Gnome should ship
withe default dark theme so that developers could see the issues of d
I like it a lot. I would prefer a less cartoony style and weaker line
weights, but the colors are great!

I don't know what I want more, a trapper keeper ubuntu theme, or an ubuntu

I'm not a fan. The colors of the gtk theme are kinda off putting. I don't
care for the silk background at all. It looks like bedsheets and I don't
want bedsheets as my wallpaper. Reminds me of an advertisement for a lover's

At first I didn't like this theme, but it is really growing on me. Of coarse
there are things that still need work. The orange in the theme feels out of
place. It just doesn't fit it because of how heavy the browns are. I think
using white as the selected item color in the menus would look a lot be
It looks invisible to me.

What if we eliminate the menu's transparency and somehow force the panel to
be drawn at a higher z-index than the menu? Is that possible? That would
make the panel cover up the shadow we need to eliminate.
Either way this effect is money, and I really hope we can figure it out.

The rule about more logos is a sound one. I also agree that the cursors
should look the same as the default theme except for the spinning logo. Such
a theme would make a great alternate theme to include but not have as
default.
