Dark Mist
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
Ever needed to work late at night or during a night travel on a car backseat? I did, and I felt like the default Clearlooks color scheme was attacking my eyes.
I used the Mist theme and simply changed a few colors (that you can modify yourself if needed), to make them dark enough to not emit a "light halo" in the car, while remaining "usable" (tested with Evolution, Tasks, the Web, etc.). This theme is therefore aimed at reducing eye strain for low-light environments. It also provides you with a scary "hacker-looking" laptop so that people can wonder what the hell you're running as an OS, I guess :)
I chose the Mist engine because it is the fastest engine out there. You wouldn't believe how much that thing makes a difference until you compare Mist and Clearlooks for scrolling webpages in Epiphany (or Firefox). Or the speed that it takes to draw windows.
Enjoy.

I have never heard of Gnome Meta-Themes, so an explanation of how to get this to work would be appreciated.

To the Original Author: Thanks a lot for this theme. You should try the program gtk-redshift to reduce your eyestrain though!

Now I just need to write a script to automatically change themes at a specified time... bash an gtk-theme-switch should do nicely...
