:: 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!

This is the theme that really made me fall in love with Linux. If it could be updated for GTK 3 somehow, I'd die of joy. Then again, it seems you haven't been very active on dA for a while. Still, good memories here.

Very elegant setup. I really like that Conky too. I am probably going to use it sometime(modified). Nice work! :)

Great theme, love it for pidgin. So hard to find good dark themes, even though it's much better on your eyes.

What can I say.....just WOW. I'll be snapshotting my Ubuntu VM now I have this theme installed, and the smokikon icons just make it look a 1,000 times better still.

Does anyone have any advice on how to skin the system monitor panel applet as seen in the Bluespace II theme? One thing I miss is having borders around each of the sysmon indicators.

Hi, really old dA account so excuse all the dust if you look at my profile. Anyway, I went to the trouble of remembering my dA username/password for this comment so I best get on and post it.

Thanks so much for the best theme ever. It is pixel-perfect in gnome 2.x and even works pretty damn well in the gnome shell of gnome 3.0!

If anybody else was wondering how to get the window background to be used as the background of gnome-terminal (which makes gnome-terminal tie in better with the theme and look pretty darn sweet tbh), the image you want is:
Mirav2/gtk-2.0/Shadows/window-bg.png

Perfect. Thanks again!
