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
There are very few usable dark themes out there. Most of them are too dark, too rich in contrast or simply ugly, so I decided to create a new one^^
The acid theme is based on wii-black, I used its gtkrc and replaced all images, so you wont really see any similarities, but i was glad to have something i could start from.
I replaced the emerald theme with a metacity theme created by darkmusic, it looks much better now.
The icon theme used in the screenshots is "simply grey" (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/SimplyGrey?content=93674)
I hope you like it ;)

Maybe someone here could give me a hint, how to do it^^
The related code is this:
style "panelbg"
{
xthickness = 0
ythickness = 0
bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "Panel/panel-bg.png"
bg_pixmap[SELECTED] = "Panel/panel-bg.png"
bg_pixmap[INSENSITIVE] = "Panel/panel-bg.png"
bg_pixmap[PRELIGHT] = "Panel/panel-bg.png"
}
I think there has to be an attribute like stretched or something like that, but as i said, i dont know^^

I called it "LSD" but i basically just took another theme I had and changed the colors...
I want to send it to you so you can include it in your theme... can I email it to you?

instead of copying the color of your emerald theme, I took the colors from your buttons (very slight gradient). the metacity theme looks very badass and will match your theme perfectly!

I completely replaced the emerald theme, because it looked to bad compared to lsd^^

Most of theme makers are just trying to reproduce OS X or Vista, it is a shame for independent people.
Keep working this way !
I think the Emerald part need a new buttons.

I like he gradients, would having a verticl scroll bar with more rounded ends (ends more similar to Dust GTK or Oxygen's rounded scrollbar ends) be a tad better?
In any event I really like this theme.

I wont make something glossy in this theme, because IMHO its really difficult to create a decent glossy dark theme(and i don't like glossy themes^^), but i am thinking about making everything a little bit more plastic, to look like this:

I think they are definitely looking better, so i will probably use them.
