Description:

Ubuntu 12.04 Ambiance theme, but tweaked.

Changes to the original theme:
1. Added dark panel in Nautilus
-I never liked the default one.
2. Changed the selection color in the OS to be blue.
- the original orange color was always a bit too odd to me
3. Window titles were moved to the right of the window.
- With the Canonicals decision to move the controls (close, minimize, maximize) to the left that area of the window title became a little cluttered for my taste. I have noticed, that the right part of the title window is empty, so I have moved the titles there. I like the result It feels more balanced that way and hope you will like it too.

4. Changed window borders to 4 px and added rounded corners
-It was hard to change window size with the 1 pixel border so ...

---------------------
Installing the theme:
---------------------

1. Download and unpack the AmbianceBLUISH.tar.gz archive to your home .themes folder
-if there aint any just create it
2. Use Myunity, gnome tweak tool, ubuntutweak or whatever app suits you to load the theme
3. Enjoy & comment please ;)

P.s
This theme will not work correctly in Ubuntu 11.10 for 11.10 use this one instead - http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/AmbianceBLUISH+1.0?content=150442

If you like what I have done with it you can donate off course ;)

Last changelog:

fixed errors in readme file :)

03.05.2012 - Some theme errors fixed,thanks to: unclespellbinder

13.05.2012 - inconsistent look of root applications like nautilus in sudo mode, synaptic and others. To fix it link your user's theme and icon directories into root's ones. Open terminal and use those two commands

sudo ln -s ~/.themes /root/.themes
sudo ln -s ~/.icons /root/.icons

Now it should work fine, not just for the current theme but for all custom themes stored in home/.themes directory. Solution by mcduck in ubuntuforums.org http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1544486

I also prefer blue to orange but would you like to apply this to the window close button as well -- like the "Ambiance Blue" theme?
Or (perhaps better) a combination of Ambiance and Zukitwo -- e.g. black on gray buttons with red/yellow/green circles on hover?
