Smart Suite
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
Some themes I created to fit with the new Ubuntu's colour scheme.
Each pack contains:
- Smart GTK
- Smart Metacity (created with Homosapien online customizer)
- desktop background
- panel background
There are three versions available:
- Smart Dark
- Smart Light
- Smart Radiance
Problems:
1. Metacity has some ugly maximize/minimize borders/buttons
Try one of the folowing:
- use Ubuntu Tweak and change the buttons position
- visit Homosapien online Customizer and create your own theme
2. I can't install the theme!
Read the INSTALLATION.txt file
3. Gnome panel looks unfinished
You HAVE to use the panel background i provided with the theme

First, good job for the tar.gz :p
Second, I really like the Smart Radiance screenshot, but it seems that the theme in the archive isn't the same : for me, buttons are on the right (instead of the left in the screenshot) and they are different, mostly like the Smart-Light theme. Moreover, the little screenshot displayed in the Appearance window isn't the same as your big screenshot, but looks exactly the same as the installed theme :'(

There is an option to change the buttons position.
Your second problem, I don't get it... What's the problem?
Are you a Linux beginner?

Themes doesn't need "Ubuntu Tweak" to change button position, it's an option to write in the index.theme.
And SmartRadiance buttons haven't "ugly" borders, I said there are like your Smart-Light theme (no border, no orange background), do you mean your Smart-Light buttons have ugly borders ?
After the install of your SmartRadiance theme on my PC, I compared the installed theme and your screenshot :
- buttons aren't the same (no border, no orange background)
- buttons aren't on the left
I only wanted to know why, and if it was a problem on my PC or in the theme archive.
Really sorry for trying to help.
Am I a linux beginner...? Strange question... Why ? Is your theme only designed for experimented users ?
But, yes, I am probably a linux beginner, under linux for 4 years, developper for 10 years and which know how simply and properly install a theme under Gnome (and simply doesn't mean "drag & drop the folder" or manual copy to an hidden theme folder...).
Again, really sorry, I think I will follow your the second advice of your description and make my own theme instead of trying to help some kid.
Regards,

I have the same problem not only with my themes but with almost any other non-ubuntu theme.
Thats way I'm using Ubuntu Tweak, and that's because Canonical introduced a new design for Ubuntu.
I supposed you are a beginer because you insisted with this problem.
Maybe it was better to let users choose their borders. I wanted the theme to be complete.

I resolved the problem by adding the line "ButtonLayout=close,minimize,maximize:" (without quotes) at the end of the index.theme file.
It might be usefull to other ubuntu users.

On my system there were on the left, then after installing your theme, there are on the right !!
It would be better to let the button at their place : some would like left, other right, so please, don't change it...

You can use Ubuntu-Tweak to change buttons positions

Please, replace the SmartDark (or Smart_GTK) folder by a tar.gz file (or tar.bz2, but no zip).
Then, users will be able to install it by the following method :
- uncompress the zip archive
- drag & drop the tar.gz archive in the Appearance window.
It would be easier...
We have a graphical application to install themes, so let us use it ;)

2. Select the "SmartDark" (or "Smart_GTK") folder (which contains a gtk-2.0 folder, a metacity folder and an index.theme file)
3. Compress this SmartDark folder to the archive format "tar.gz" to obtain, for example, a "SmartDark.tar.gz" file (zip format doesn't work)
4. Drag this tar.gz archive into the Appearance window
5. Select the new Smart theme
