LCARS-Desktop GTK Theme
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
A Star Trek themed GTK/Gnome desktop theme. Designed to integrate with LCARS-Desktop, which you can download here:
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/LCARS-Desktop?content=91988
This GTK theme was originally part of LCARS-Desktop, but was forked off due to bug problems. There are a couple of known issues with OpenOffice:
The button text across the top of the OO window is dark-grey on black. This is because OpenOffice uses the same text colour for these buttons as for the main writing field. For usability I wanted a white background for text-entry areas, which naturally requires a dark foreground colour.
Tooltip text in OO is similarly low-contrast for similar reasons.
I hope you enjoy this theme. Thank-you for downloading and/or rating!
Engage.

While I'm here, does anyone know where I can get a decent little logo for this?

I have found login screen similar to this theme, ( in 1024x768 resolution ), and i've changed splash screen with picture that have black background and"United Federation of Planets" logo and sign. Its quite beutiful when you're loging in.
I've been searching for Star Trek usplash screen, but no luck :(
I also put my Conky to start in 12 seconds delay, and you get effect like, system ( read: Enterprise ) is on line.
If you want i'll send these files to you.

Unfortunately the only monitors I have access to are 1280x800, so I have some difficulty making good-looking backgrounds and login screens for other resolutions.
As for splash screens, honestly, I can't stand them. The first thing I do is disable the splash screens on pretty much anything with that option (including booting with the "nosplash" option). But if there's sufficient demand for one I'll see about making an LCARS splash screen.
As for that Conky script, if you feel like sending it my way that'd be nice. My e-mail address is my username at gmail.com.

In the LCARS-Desktop download there's a small UFP logo called "menu.png" that should be a suitable replacement. I'll see about trying to tinker with the GTK theme and integrate that.

The dark grey on black was the closest I could come to something usable without sacrificing the white background/dark text for the page. Hopefully a later version of OO will correct the way it uses the GTK theme colours.
