ver 1.1.6 - Bug Fixes.
- Fixed bug where text wouldnt change to white when progressbar overlaped progressbar text.
- Fixed bug where some error and tooltip messages where shown with black text on dark background.
ver 1.1.5 - Many Updates!
- Storm, Ruby Red and Pink Ice color themes are now uploaded. Users can download the 3Pack and drop it in the theme manager window and enjoy all 3 color variations.
- Many hours went into refining the code base and the graphics of all 3 themes.
- No new screenshots will be uploaded to Gnomelook but you may view my picasa page link above to see much higher resolution images of all 3 themes or click the easy link below.
ver 1.1.4 - Color Update
- Ever got a new monitor and just then realized your color was shot on your old monitor? I did today! Theme color seemed to yellowish and was not supposed to be. Double check with a few friends and also on my slower eMac and noticed theme color scheme was way off from what I had intended. I set all the color to follow a more modern greyish scheme and this monitor is set at 6500k color.
- New screenshots are being posted so users may have to reload the webpage for updates to show.
ver 1.1.3 - Minor Update
- Corrected issue where GtkComboBox list box color was shown as black on black background. Changed to White.
ver 1.1.2 - Minor Updates.
- Fixed issue where horizontal line (menu separator style) wouldn't show on some drop down menus.
- Few minor adjustments to button insensitive state colors so they don't appear as bland.
- Uploading a screen shot of TWF to show minor adjustments only.
ver 1.1.1 - Minor Updates.
- Small Adjustment to background color.
- Worked on the clarity of the task bar application buttons.
- Corrected Drop-Down-Menu overlay stretch border distortion on large stretch.
- New screenshots :-)
ver 1.1.0 - Big Update!
- Theme now includes a complimentary GTK1 theme, in addition I have also put together a slick GKrell Monitor theme that is also included in the theme file.
- Metacity theme was totally reworked into a more refined look that should look more professional as well as elegant to the user.
- Radio and Check buttons contrast has also been adjusted for more clarity.
- New screenys being posted as well.
ver 1.0.8 - Many new changes!
- New drop-down-menu Check and Radio buttons have been added to help with contrasting to the dark menus.
- Added a shiny new menu selection box for the drop-down-menus.
- Reverted back to the original title/menu bars style. They fit better with the new additions.
- Fixed handle active/prelight where the handle went white and the user was unable to see it.
- New Screenys to show changes.
ver 1.0.7 - Slightly changed the Title and Menubar images. Old files are still included for those who prefer the old style. In addition new screenshots have been uploaded.
ver 1.0.6 - Dropdown Menus now updated with same design but now using higher resolution graphic. 64px --> 256px. Original lower resolution graphic still included for those have slower systems and possible slower render problems.
ver 1.0.5 - Changed menu backdrop. The blue was to over whelming. XCF files are included for those who may wish to customize the theme to their on personal prefs.
ver 1.0.4 - Initial Release

I have decided to go only with Storm, Ruby Red and Pink Ice color themes. Blue and Green themes have been well over done and the green theme color didn't show as vibrant as I hoped it would. In addition the blue wasn't looking much different then the dark teal from the Storm color scheme.
I already have the red theme completed and out to a few friends for evaluation as well I am already working on the Pink Ice theme for the ladies. :-)

My other monitor colors where way off. I guess it is getting old. Hopefully the color shows a little better with this monitor from here on out. :-)

I planned from the start to release a few color variations. I am almost done with testing the first color variation "Storm". I will then take that code and make other variations of the same theme.
Current color variations planned are:
Ruby Red, Emerald Green, Sapphire Blue and Pink Ice.

I still got the original files. I got a few minor details to correct on next update. I will just include them in the theme tarbal so all you will have to do is rename the #menubar.png back to just menubar.png in /hybridtheory/gtk2/menu and then the #titlebar-mid-focus.png in /metacity back to just titlebar-mid-focused.png.
Sounds complicated but it can be done in about 10 secs with a little click - rename - del "#" done.
May take me a few days to release the next update tho, I am currently working on a XMMS theme also to go along with the theme package.
