Grey Neu

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

Description:

This is a dark glossy theme with unusual titlebar, and custom buttons.

Works best with a dark theme, like glossy.

Here's how to get my theme exactly (without problems):

Under Themes, click "Customize..." For the controls tab, choose Glossy. Change the colors under colors tab to windows:#3E3E3E, input boxes:#4A4A4A, selected items:#616161, and change all the text options to white.

To fix the tooltip error: Get the Gnome Color Chooser ( http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=47349 ) and change Specific>tooltips to #565656

To fix SOME errors with firefox text, type about:config into the URL and search for browser.display.use_system_colors .. change that to false. That seems to fix a few errors.

Everything else should work fine with the dark theme, except the Gmail checker, which I can't figure out how to fix.

EDIT: There's an even better dark GTK Theme called Neutronium Unity. Get it here: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Neutronium+Unity?content=59189

Hi gavintgold, I really love this theme! But I used Grey Neu to create Hybrid Grey Neu, it's the same theme but with some icons changed. Take a look in you want!

This looks amazing. I found a few more fixes for Firefox.

Text area backgrounds

Make a backup of forms.css
cd /usr/share/firefox/res
sudo cp forms.css formsBackup.css

Edit the forms.css file
sudo gedit forms.css

Replace all of the following
Replace:
background-color: -moz-Field
With:
background-color: #ffffff; //-moz-Field

And

Replace:
color: -moz-FieldText;
With:
color: #000000; //-moz-FieldText;

Button Color

To get a more standard looking grey, in the same file,

Replace:
ButtonFace
With:
#CCC;//ButtonFace

Save the file, and restart firefox to see the changes.
