Description:

##### E D I T #####

I decided to use this theme on my current lucid desktop, but then I was really surprised. Instead of the tar.gz I was only able to download the Screenshot file. Fortunately I had an older version on deviantart.com. I decided to download the old one and continue developing it. As a result I am now using a different and new style and some of the new murrine options.

I hope you like it now. Tell me what you dont like instead of rating it down.

###################

I-N-S-T-A-L-L-A-T-I-O-N I-N-S-T-R-U-C-T-I-O-N-S

Requires gtk2-engines-murrine version 0.90.3-git20100323 at least

I suggest that you extract the archive to "/usr/share/themes/"

The Font inside the Archive has to be extracted in your distros font folder.

The Panel-background has to be selected by the gnome-panel settings dialogue

###################

I love muscle cars, and the Plymouth Cuda also has a beautiful name. This Theme looks a little bit like a Shiki-Modification, but it's based on the Human-Theme in ubuntu and it uses a Mod of the Dust-Metacity. If you prefer the Sugar-Metacity, then you schould have a look on this site:

If you don't like it, tell me why before you rate it bad.

* Menu-Checkbox corrected, another scrollbarstyle, another toolbar

* restarted from an old version and added some new things.

* another scrollbarstyle

* murrine git version options added - new dark toolbar and light toolbar

* created the best looking toolbar, I have ever made - and without any pixmaps ;-). Added a dark Gradient to the menubar.

* more, not too heavy, glossy effects ;-)

* removed pixmaps and green default color, it's RUSTY now

Thumbs up. You might want to consider dark menus for this theme. The white menu seems kind of odd.

Other than that might I suggest "Neotech Regular 8" as your sys font it looks better on this theme.

Great effort.

I didn't found Neotech font for free download - I always had to purchase it.

If you have a download link, I will try it.

Besides that, I have used the Font "Fontin" as it looks like the font which is used in the PS3 game Uncharted 2. I always had its concept art in mind when creating this theme.

It's a nice theme, but there are some things wrong with it. Mind if I critize? If these things were fixed it would be my default theme.

1. The menu doesn't match with the panel; the words "Place" and "System" are unreadable.
2. The area under the window border should match the window border itself. There should be a seemless transition between them.
3. When in Nautilus the left-hand side of the window is completely purple. It shoud be the same as the rest.

1. I don't understand how this happens ! Applications is readable, but Places and System not. Maybe the panels transparency configuration is the reason.

2. Do you mean the bottom line of the metacity-theme? If it's so, I have fixed it!

3. I didn't understand what exactly you have been talking about, so I changed the nautilus-sidebar to the background color.

I hope the current update (19 July 2010) is to your liking!

I didn't notice that the theme was alittle old until after I posted my comment. Thanks for still improving it, the theme looks really good.

disgusting colors.

I think you really like my artwork, ;-)

Btw. disgusting colors depend on the wallpaper, which is used. E.g. the elementary gtk: I am of the opinion that it only looks good, if a blue, minimalistic wallpaper is used, if not it looks disgusting.

Furthermore, the colors fit very well for the Rusty style.

Would you like to have a version without the dark panel?


Should I give the Menu Items a more glassy look'n'feel?

Now I have removed the userChrome.css as it doesn't work, but the firefox menubar has a light glow, in order to make the text readable.



Please post problems with Thunderbird!

To solve the Firefox problem, simply add these lines "menubar > menu {color: white !important}" (without "") to the userChrome.css,it works perfectly!;)

It does not work. Do I have to do anything else? Is the folder "gtk-2.0" the right one?

Insert that string into userChrome.css and put it in the firefox folder-------->

.mozilla/firefox-3.5/.....default/chrome/

or

.mozilla/firefox/.....default/chrome/

PS:Just use your old userChrome.css and insert the new strings I posted.

---->menubar > menu {color: white !important}

I think you mean the Plymouth Hemi'Cuda? I don't think a Cuda existed without one...

Yes, you're right, the theme has a false name - thx to tell me, but I don't want to update the theme just because of the missing "Hemi" or "Barra"-Cuda. If I'll have updates for the theme, the Name will be changed, I promise!

This is a cool theme. What it's aching for is a progress bar that matches that dashed stripe down the side of the car.

Well, stripes. They would need to be drawn via the pixbuf-engine or something like that, but I don't like it to use pixmaps, because they make the theme slow, not much, but it does. If you will be satisfied with the cell-look, supported by the murrine-engine, I'll update the theme with this change.
