Ambiance -aero or win3-7 you`ll decide
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
Hi,
this is the beginning of either Ambiance-Aero a simple gtk3 theme for 14.10 Or
The beginning of win3-7 pack would mean: more themes, improvement in this theme , better support + install script etc.
For starting the win3-7 pack for ubuntu 14.10 project i would need donations.
But don`t wory a mint qijana based win 7 + 8 clone will be released in few days/week as soon as i get a free vps.
Also i can`t guarantee to give support for it (but fell free to report bugs perhaps they`ll be fixed!! ) and i don`t like to see a fork of this theme hosted somewhere in the internet without my permission.
Feel free to comment and its not like i do forbid anyone to host this theme for personal use on the i.net. For other purposes you have to think for other reasons as well you do sure know.
The newer version has some small updates inside the gtk3 version.
Added a new hidden secret feature:
change in gtk-main.css line 47
unity to unity-light
Enjoy!!
google on how to download files from google drive if you have to.

But since last mint update, selected icons are loosing colours and turn into black. Could you just update your theme please ?
I've been working in teaching area in France and now I'm out of work. Perhaps this theme will help me to keep my work because if I can help my team to recycle old computers that will be more powerful with Linux, I could be employed again on September.
I was the official French translator of the Win2-7 Pack and contributed with many pics and other things for the Pack. Now it's me that need help. I hope I will get yours. Thanks for all.
David.

In Linux Mint 17.1 fresh updated to 17.2 when Icons are selected with mouse on desktop, they turn in black. There was no problem with Mint 17.1 but now, this problem is only solved then I use mint control theme. All is working perfectly but when I use ambiance and all other aero theme for "control" this bug is present.
I first thought the themes needed to be updated to the new Mint version but perhaps it is just a new Mint bug...
I'm trying to send you a screen copy of the problem...
What a pity is having to solve a colour bug just in hope to keep my work ! Sorry to borrow you with that.

I know some people doesn't agree with that but I prefer this way instead of watching people staying on Windows or changing the hardware for best performance. Thanks to Linux, my employer will save money and with this money, I'll have a work.
Lesson for everyone : even the tiniest thing that people are doing here can have impressive impact. Hope this help some of you to continue your work even if you think it's not worth it.
Many thanks my friend.

( n00bslab) sry for the long delay for this answer just forgot it sry sry..
Seems like you use an earlier version of gtk3, than the theme needs, try win2-7remix from gnome-look.

I have few suggestions for variations though:
* Windows 8 version
* Light menu bar version
* Aero theme (transparency isn't necessary)

There are far more original and complete works here and they never asked for donation .

search the far better gtk3 themes that look like win7 and tell me them.
See if he is right and check all the updates in december please. In the meantime you can make a list what is ugly in the theme and send me that detailed in a pm. You`ll be surprised what can still be done even if its still a high quality theme at the moment.
Perhaps i can oneday have you to say that it is indeed worth a donation.

aLSO Vista panels have been around forever and so was Win 7 basic type window decoration .So yes , you made it for GTK3 and packed it nicely .
Original , not so much. Looks fine otherwise .
P.S.
Lighten up , this is not some harsh critisim of your work .
It is nice you are creating and contributing to the community, you have skill i do not .
I am only user of content, you are creator .

Your theme is nothing compared to the win2-7 project. If you want people's attention and money, first do hell of a job in the beginning and don't say you might not even support it for bugs

The theme itself is more than half finished, you sure do know.
Stop telling lies. The theme is workIng stable and looks close too the gtk2 one.
Dont tell lies . This theme is more than half finished and availablefor free.
All kde solutions i do know had some errors . Be more friendly next time and constructive. This is gtk3 and not kde.
have a good day

im sure you didn't even test the theme.
Have provided an icon theme too.
There is no reason for your overreaction. I do read coments and do fix bugs, but not always fast for free. Whats wrong with that.

You have a different opinion about this, but please umderstand that i did work weeks to do it to its current state and that there isn' t much more possible.
Im not uploading something unfished and say its finished or please donate to let me continue the work, no i do say : for donations ill continue faster.
On all my other works i dont mind if people fork them without notifying me etc.
Its nothing wrong on asking for donations.
Youre artwork is great and may even look better as some elements i agree. but mine is at least as difficult to make as yours even on its current state (90% done and stable). My artwork is currently in stable testing phase and freeware.
