Artist's Comments

:: Concept ::
This time I wanted to create a darker theme with a pixmap bg. Further all control-elements (buttons, scrollbars... etc) should be transparent.
To create this overlay effect and getting it displayed correctly wasn't as easy as I thought it would be and this may cause problems. This makes the theme pretty experimental as well... :)

:: Contents ::
+ 2xgtk
+ 2xmetacity
+ xfwm4
+ 2xemerald
+ gdm
+ userContent.css (Firefox3)
+ NowPlaying screenlet theme

:: GDM ::
If you have a widescreen monitor, please rename the file "bg-wide.png" to "bg.png" in the gdm-theme directory.

Metacity
Because metacity resizes the titlebar if the title font is too big, I recommend to use the font "snap" as window title font. With other fonts try sizes around 7 and 8.

:: Note ::
To enjoy the theme in all it's sexyness be sure to copy the userContent.css to your firefox profile.
If you find any bugs please let me know (if you have a minute a screenhot would be much appreciated).
The pattern for the bg is from theinspirationgallery.com (modified of course).

:: Screenshot ::
The wallpaper (also used as bg for the gdm-theme) is from mandolux.com (slightly modified by me). Thx again Mando for letting me use it!

Great, and what is the font?
:iconsen7:
It's called "Snap". You can find it in the artwiz fonts pack (available on most distros) or here: [link]

Hello! I'm absolutly new to Linux and don't now how to instal this file. Can U help me please? I'm with Ubuntu Hardy
:iconsen7:
Hi! Don't worry, it's pretty easy to install. I don't use Ubuntu but I can tell you how themes are normally installed (manual way).

Rename the archive from "Mira_by_sen7.gz" to "Mira_by_sen7.tar.gz".

:: Installation ::
Extract the "Mira_by_sen7.tar.gz" to "/usr/share/themes/".

To install the gdm theme (for the login manager) run this in a terminal:
cp -a /usr/share/themes/Mira/gdm/themes/Mira /usr/share/gdm/themes/

To install the emerald theme open the "emerald-theme-manager", click on "import" and select the Mira.emerald. It's located in "/usr/share/themes/Mira".

:: Setup ::
Go to the appearance porperties. In Ubuntu it should be something like: System > Preferences > Apearance > Themes.
Then click on "customize" (or sth like that) and select Mira as gtk-theme and an icon-theme you like.
If you don't use compiz (->emerald) you can use the Mira metacity theme.

To use the ermerald theme just run "emerald-theme-manager" and select the Mira theme.

The login-manager theme can be selected in the gdm preferences -> run "sudo gdmsetup" in a terminal.

I hope this works out for you. :)

love your terminal, man, can you post your setup?
