Love this theme, clean and beautiful :-)
Do not know if anyone is interested but found no Openbox theme to match it so I made one.
Very simple theme, just the same color.
Named it: Absolute Openbox

Hi 2dev, greetings for such an amazing work u did with this amazing theme! I love it!

My question is, i get a "absolute-themes does not appear to be a valid theme" error message when selecting or draggin and droppin the bz2 file onto the theme panel i right click on the desktop.

How am I supposed to install it? I would love to know.

Thanks in advance!

Hi OffSet,
to install the themes you should extract the bz2-archive and then move all the directories from 'absolute-themes' into your $HOME/.themes/ or /usr/share/themes/ directories.

Hi there,

I'm a huge fan of your theme. However, with the 11.04, the new Unity panel looks kind of weird (http://i.imgur.com/P1V9A.png) - the text appears to be bold and slightly blurred (something to do with aliasing? it's more visible on my monitor than the screenshot). Is it possible you could modify the theme (to use the same text style that was used in gnome-panel in 10.10), or at least direct me in the right direction to do it myself?

always appreciated,

Arno

Hi Arno,
Thanks a lot for the comment. Unfortunately, right now I can't imagine what the problem is. But I confirm that fonts in Unity panel looks terrible. And not only with absolute theme - all the other light themes looks awful with Unity panel (Unity panel does not respect user defined font hinting settings - don't know why). But absolute looks differently, yes. I will try to figure out why. Thanks again.

Hi, I've been using absolute for long long time, since it's just the best. I wonder, are you planning to make a GTK3 version?

2sev

Yes, I plan to make a GTK3 version. But it will take time.

In unity when window is maximized this themes icons [maximize, minimize, close] are replaced by some other icons.

How can I handle this? :)

quoiure

I've solved my problem :D

Thanks for making such a great theme!

2sev

:) And what is the solution?

quoiure

Since unity has it's icons hard-coded, it uses icons in Ambiance/Radiance directories.
If the theme is something other than Ambiance it uses it's standard icons, so a backup of Ambiance and a simple rename of your theme did the trick.

There is a bug filed already about those icons, but nobody is assigned to it as for now and it looks like they would use another decorator first rather than make it work for metacity (https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/740232)
