NoNameRetro
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
NoNameRetro theme is based on NoName by TheRob: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/NoName?content=70396. (The biggest thanks goes to him for all of his hard work and willingness to allow these modifications.) This theme is based on an early "beta" version of NoName, so the look of the Metacity window border is significantly different from the current NoName theme. There are quite a few changes to the GTK theme as well. As far as I know, all the work on which this theme is based was released under GPL.
To get a similar light grey text for the menu items in Firefox, edit your /home/USERNAME/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/chrome/userChrome.css file by adding the following:
menubar, menubutton, menu, menuitem, menupopup, popup > * {
color: silver !important;
}
You may also use "white" for a color code if you want it lighter still.
The Panel background graphic is optimized at 36 pixels tall. (Anything taller would look terrible, as would a vertical side panel.) It will scale down to 32 just fine. But if you want to optimize the panel background for smaller panel height, there are 32 and 25 pixel panel background graphics in the archive.

not sure if this f***s up something else
since I just figured it out.
but if you have a style called "menu" or something....
style "menu" = "default"
#and then add this line there
text[NORMAL] = "#000000"
#remove any other text[NORMAL] first
#and then you should have something
#like this at the end of the gtkrc
class "GtkMenu" style "menu"
widget_class"*Menu*" style "menu"
Hope this helps.

I just spent all of my free time the last day rebuilding the gtkrc file. I thought that would be a good way to learn a thing or two and possibly get rid of some extraneous code. I still have a lot of questions, but I did figure out a few things as well.

That is one problem I've been trying to solve
for a very long time... nothing seems to
help....
If you however do come up with some magical
fix for that I'd be more than happy to
have it!

1. Right-click the desktop and select "Create Launcher." (About 90% of the themes on Gnome-Look have this problem. On my themes I either leave the panel as the normal window background, or I use a panel picture that is 2000 pixels tall.)
2. Can the menu backgrounds somehow match the panel background? (Not declaring a picture for the panel background *might* fix this, as well as issue #1.)
3. Install this: http://code.google.com/p/gnome-menu-file-browser-applet/ and notice that the text is black against black. Don't know who's side of the code that problem is on, but it would be nice if it worked. (Problem might well be in the applet's code.)

After spending about two hours on that first problem, I had it solved ..., but in the process had introduced another problem I couldn't solve! Then I came back here and noticed that someone who really does know what he is doing (TheRob) was offering his help once again.
So I have implemented his solution, and all seems well with "create launcher" background. I will upload the revision shortly. (Thanks Robert!)
Unfortunately I'm not quite sure what you mean by #2, and I haven't had time to look at #3. Admittedly, I'm probably in way over my head with all of this, but I like to give it a try anyway.

What I mean about issue #2: The background for the menus appears to be more of a plain black, while the rest of the panels has a "shiny plastic" look. I, personally, would like it better if everything had the 'shiny plastic" background consistently, but I have seen some themes that have a different background for the menu deliberately.
Great job on the theme! (Whether you think yourself a coder or not.) :)

from the terminal and it will give you
the output, gtkrc:2136 means that it's on
line 2136 in the gtkrc file, probably just
some wrongly styled widget :)
Hope this helps!

After reading your suggestion, I did have a look at that line. But line 2136 is nothing more than "image" (and there was no change between ver. 1.0.1 and 1.0.2), so I can't imagine what would be wrong with that.
How likely is it that angel2005 has somehow got a corrupt gtkrc file? I don't know; I'm just guessing at this point. I'll be happy to try any other ideas anyone might have.
