Be-Shell/Bespin by thomas12777 1662 comments

Hi! I downloaded and compiled the latest SVN snapshot of Bespin on both a KDE 4.3.4 desktop and a KDE 4.4b2 desktop but when I select this theme or use any of the config files available, there appears to be some icon corruption on either KDE desktop. For example, Dolphin's file drawer icon is replaced by a generic xorg place holder icon in the taskbar and in the upper left of file manager windows. I've noticed other subtle icon corruption elsewhere. Any idea why this is occurring or how to fix this? There were no errors when compiling Bespin or installing it. I'm using Sabayon Linux (Gentoo.) Thanks! - Jan 01 2010
RIP: Windows

Wallpapers Windows by AngelusNoctis 8 comments

This is really fun and I love it! May I make a suggestion? Get rid of the expiration date (2015) and replace it with "Today" (the day any convert ditches Windows for Linux.) Also, add the Window's flag to the headstone; either as-is, or, use a Photoshop/Gimp effect to make it look chiseled into the stone. - Nov 07 2009

These icons are indeed copyrighted by Microsoft. If I were you, I'd change them slightly or build your own set inspired by the original. Ripping out XP's icons and repackaging them for Gnome violates the copyright. - Sep 15 2009

GDM Themes by gnomelook2288 5 comments

A lot of people actually think Ubuntu IS Linux and submit various Gnome based themes; implying they're for Ubuntu. Nevermind there are approximately 600+ active flavors, or distributions of Linux. Of those roughly half run the Gnome desktop (like Ubuntu.) Therefore a lot of themes on this site that proclaim they're for Ubuntu will actually work on pretty much any Gnome based distribution. Gnome-look needs to find a way to reconcile its various sites to avoid this problem. Cheers!! - Jul 03 2009

I think the last thing you should do is implement orange into this theme. Just because it's designed with Ubuntu in mind doesn't mean you should automatically pepper the theme with shades of orange, brown and black! Lots of people NOT using Ubuntu use this theme. And, lots of people using Ubuntu hate orange and brown! If you want to maintain s separate "Ubuntuinized" version with lots of orange, please feel free but leave this theme fresh and clean as it is already. Great work!! - Jul 02 2009

Another Gtk RGBA module

Various Gnome Stuff by berkanan 20 comments

Haha. I should have caught that. That's what I get for being lazy and cutting and pasting. Anyway, I managed to compile this but I have to say, I saw no benefit to using it whatsoever. Many of my favorite programs needed to be added to the exceptions list and some refused to load after the rgba module was implemented. I simply removed it and went back to my previous configuration. Obviously rgba needs a lot of work. Whose working on this? Gnome? - Mar 17 2009

This package conflicts with gtk-engine-murrine. If the aforementioned package is removed (replacing with your DEB) then murrine themes fail to display correctly. I'm on Debian Sid amd64. I had to remove your package and return to the 0.6-SVN package. - Mar 16 2009

The latest version 1.6.1 looks great! You're really improving this theme by leaps and bounds. I would like to see a solid check-mark in all check-boxes globally across the theme; instead of a filled box to denote that it is checked as is the case in some cases. Also, some progress bars are gray instead of blue. In 'Transmission' (the bit-torrent) client for example, download progress bars are dark gray. On a gray background, it's hard to make out the progress with a quick glance. Other than these couple niggles, this theme is looking really great! - Jan 18 2009

How about waiting until Ubuntu 9.04 reaches at least beta stage before designing a new theme. Speaking of which, you do realize that Ubuntu won't ever be anything other than orange and brown regardless of how many times Canonical promises a visual makeover. you may as well give it up. - Dec 11 2008

Can you fix it so the cursor shows up better? For example, when I'm typing an e-mail in evolution, I cannot see the cursor. It's there but the color is so similar to that of the default background of your theme that it's almost imperceptible. I think a white window background is best, but I'm not sure how to change it myself. I'd be happy with a change to the cursor color so it's better contrasted to the background. All in all, this is a fantastic theme!!! Great job! - Oct 23 2008

I don't see what's so great about Sun's Nimbus theme! Based on the hype, I downloaded and compiled the latest version for use on my Debian system. I even created DEBs but after a few days, I trashed them and went back to (the much better IMO) Aurora engine. The Nimbus theme is clunky oddly colored and difficult to reconfigure to taste. I don't see what the fuss is about. - Sep 06 2008

GDM Themes by anjan 2 comments

The text on the GDM theme can barely be read on this busy theme. I'd suggest lightening up the background by adding a while layer behind this image and then adjusting the transparency of the topmost layer by a few percentage points. That should improve the situation quite a bit. Alternately, try a different text color. - Sep 01 2008
