Simply brilliant. The breadcrumbs look fantastic with Nautilus-elementary now.
Thanks for fixing it.
This theme now totally rocks.
(the scrollbar on Nautilus looks pretty cool too).

Great job. :D

how do you install it on ubuntu lucid? I really couldn't figure it out! very nice theme by the way! :-)

I am using maverick, but i think that the murrine engine in lucid is older. Try to install murrine-git via the terminal or use a launchpad package. If it does not work anyway, then reinstall your deafault murrine engine and wait for an update on my theme where i have removed the uninteropable options.

But i find time hardly now.

Thanks for replying that quickly! I'll download the latest murrine engine then! But my problem is that the package i downloaded is not recognized as a theme! maybe because it's a .7z file?

try to install the package p7zip ! Besides that, the Package also includes the Humanity icon-theme from Karmic for the better appearance. it's better to decompress the files and then moving the folders to the right directorys. the folder in Gtk-Theme you should extract to /home/????/.themes/ and the folder in icon-theme you should extract to /home/????/.icons/

This really is a pretty good looking theme imo. A very good take on the lovely Finery themes, and blends in the new Maverick Radiance theme quite well.
The only thing which bugged me was the Nautilus breadcrumbs(the rounded buttons aren't to my taste- looks a bit unpolished and blurry, or do they look that way only on Nautilus Elementary?). Maybe you could make it more like the Victory themes' breadcrumbs(just the arrows)- probably the best implementation of nautilus elementary.

Well done though. Great theme.

Firstly the rating downs: I dont know where they come from, but I think the reason are some bugs with nautilus especially the scrollbars.

Concerning your particular problem. I will create a nautilus-elementary cofig file, as soon as I finished the nautilus scrollbar bug and found some time.

I released it because the nautilus scrollbar bug isnt that bad, but I did not came to the idea to try it with nautilus elementary.

Hi, actually, I rated it down. Cause I'm really bored with ubuntu, ubuntu-like themes, ubuntu wallpapers, ubuntu icons... Well, Ubuntu users spam every gnome users every fucking day.

Now when I see ubuntu related art on gnome-look instead that on ubuntu-art, I rate it down.

I have switched often between distros and i always turned back to ubuntu. Nevertheless i can understand that you are fed up with ubuntu related themes, but themes on ubuntu-art.com are visible on gnome-look.org as well and the other way.

No, theme on ubuntu-art are not visible here. Try to delete this theme here and put it on ubuntu-art, where it should be. You'll see.

If ubuntu users don't know ubuntu-art, then you can tell them that it exists and that it's made for them.

Hey, thanks for responding so quickly.
I'm not quite sure what the issues with the scrollbars you mentioned are. I seem to have no issues there so far. I still think this theme deserves a better rating. :D

About the breadcrumbs in nautilus-elementary, just to make things clear, this is what I meant
http://s785.photobucket.com/albums/yy132/balaknair/?action=view&current=Screenshot-2.png

The outlines of the buttons are kinda blurred and not smooth especially in the rounded ends, looks pretty awful especially when in folders with long names

Just so you know what I was talking about.
Thanks, and all the best.

This is such a lovely theme, i am surprised to see that no one rated it. if it was possible for me to multiple-rate it i would rate it +20 . Amazing work keep it up.....

Thanks a lot for your comment. I haven't read such an positive comment for a long time.

Anyway, I have to thank Canonical for such a perfect base. Many accents and styles wouldn't have found their way into the theme, if the Canonical Design Team wouldn't have programmed it such perfectly.
