Apparently they use the color of the menus for those outlines. The same behavior occurs with Dust, NewWave Dark Menus, Opensuse's Sonar, etc...
There's nothing I can do from this end, and Openoffice problems are usually seen with many themes because it's not a native GTK application. - Nov 15 2009

As for the defaults, there's already Shiki-Dust, which is warm and brown. It doesn't have the same shade of brown as the new Human, but why should it? It's not like both themes can be used at the same time, so it shouldn't matter or create any inconsistency. - Nov 15 2009

It might help if you could add a screenshot, a more detailed summary - or double check if the same behavior occurs under another theme (which might indicate that the problem lies elsewhere). - Nov 03 2009

You can file it as a bug in the gnome-colors project page, as it might be easier to debug and fix there. - Oct 29 2009

Murrine does not draw striped tabs, this is not related to the theme.
If you want striped tabs, you have to get the Clearlooks version. - Oct 29 2009

I know it's not exactly impossible, but it is unknown to most users. Installing, for example, a lock screen package through apt-get because it is suggested by gnome-colors should not require searching the internet for the knowledge necessary to begin using it.
That said, third party lock screens are welcome. I just don't want to release something official that I wouldn't be able to support properly. - Oct 29 2009

Unofficial ones are welcome, in fact, I think there are already some in gnome-look based on arc-colors. - Oct 29 2009

You'll see that most of the icons that support emblems have a similarly named file next to them, with the .icon extension. This file specifies how emblems are attached for each icon that can support emblems, in each size.
If you want this to happen for other icon sets, just copy or create .icon files for each icon you plan to use emblems on. Also, depending on the size of the icon (16px, 22/24, 32/scalable) the .icon file will need different values. - Oct 03 2009

The new folders are mostly the old ones, with cleaner lines, a little transparency and smoother gradients. It should be familiar enough, yet the improved contrast makes it fit better with the aluminium look other icons in the theme have.
As for the printed emblems, they're still a work in progress... some of them could be improved a lot still. I think this style is better than just pasting an emblem on top of the folder icons. - Sep 30 2009

The new icon is a bit more appealing - although you're right, a joystick or gamepad would be even better.
If I can make a better looking joystick/gamepad in the future, i'll consider replacing the cards. In the meantime - if you want the joystick back, you can just remove the card icons and the theme will inherit the old ones from gnome-icon-theme. - Sep 30 2009

However, in older releases (where these icons have color) should still be available in the deprecated download section of the google code page. Just grab an earlier package - get these icons from /*/actions/ and replace the neutral ones in a current version of gnome-colors. - Sep 27 2009

In order to use custom/transparent panels, you have to disable the ones that are shipped with Shiki.
In order to do this, just open the /themes/Shiki-$COLOR/gtk-2.0/panel.rc file in a text editor, and delete the line which says "Disable for normal panel backgrounds". - Sep 27 2009

The Shiki update is just a bugfix for Chromium browser, but the icons got a major overhaul. - Sep 25 2009

As for cursors, I always use the simple white ones that come as default. They're neutral, simple and efficient. - Sep 25 2009

As for your current question, the license is GPL-2. You have the freedom to modify/improve/contribute/expand it without any legal issues as far as the GPL allows.

If you'd like to hardcode it/make it permanent, you can open the gtkrc source file and change the color value manually. The file has instructions built in, so you just have to follow them. - Sep 10 2009

Perhaps bugs can be filed to murrine/clearlooks so this type of feature can be implemented? The only other way to do this is with pixmaps, but no pixmaps are used in Shiki to keep everything fast and clean. - Sep 10 2009

That said, there are some unofficial lock screens based on Arc-Colors right here in gnome-look. You can certainly use one of those. - Sep 09 2009

It's certainly a lot more polished, and the new GPL license should make things cleaner and better compatible with debian/ubuntu policies. I'd love to see Erectus uploaded in the repos, I prefer it just a tad more than Humanity, although you also do some great work there. - Sep 01 2009

For the smaller sizes - in the case of most icons, the sources or source objects can be gotten directly from gnome-icon-theme/tango's git repositories. The following is particularly helpful:
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-icon-theme/tree/src?h=one-canvas
For some icons's smaller sizes, there are no direct sources, as often, the simpler icons are just two gnome-icon-theme objects overlayed.
tl;dr: There's no source pack in particular for "gnome-colors-common". The sources are both the scalable icons that are shipped, as well as those provided in the repositories for gnome/tango and the tango artists whose gpl icons are featured in the set.
If the small-size sources you want are from an original gnome-colors icon (not gnome/tango or already included in the source pack) just send me an e-mail and I'll send you what I have. - Aug 07 2009

If the icons were based on Human or Oxygen, then yes - everything would be glossy, but they're entirely designed to complement gnome-icon-theme, so they won't break away from that design. - Aug 07 2009

If you want to give it a try, you can delete the contents that deal with color of the following sections:

I find Jimmac's cursors (the default ones in Ubuntu and other distributions) simple and good looking enough.
That said, there's oxygen-cursor-theme and oxygen-cursor-theme-extra as well, which are excellent cursor themes. If anything, I think someone experienced should port them for better compatibility with GNOME and they'd be perfect alternatives. - Aug 05 2009

There are many good full light/dark themes here in gnome-look, so there's no plans to revive the old themes. Shiki-Colors will keep being developed since it provides a unique and neutral look suitable for the project, until something better comes along to replace it. - Aug 04 2009

Full black/white versions do not suit the design of the icon set, I think it looks very monotone, but if you download the source pack - you can make black/white/any-color variations in minutes, by simply editing the color values and following the instructions before "make". - Aug 04 2009

I don't understand, have you checked the gnome-colors places folders? Saved search icons and its syslinks have always been included with the set.
Because gnome-colors is very complete, chances are - when you see a stock gnome/tango icon that doesn't fit in with the rest, it's most likely the application forces said icon instead of gnome-colors not having it. - Aug 02 2009

Regarding (2.), try the included "Easy" metacity. It has thicker borders for easy resizing. As for applications having the "grip" on the bottom right corner, that has nothing to do with any theme, only with the applications themselves! - Jul 31 2009

Only the original content developers can relicense their work, so unless the licenses are specified - the theme pack would be considered non-free software, or only for personal use.
Another thing is the lack of documentation regarding what is actually included in the .deb package, anyone could download this and break or overwrite their existing themes or icons, since the package would conflict with that which is already installed. Since there's no complete list of what is actually included, it makes it harder to tell wether you'll break/overwrite something or not. - Jul 30 2009

But by all means, please post this, any icon requests or other information related to implementing the icons in the google code project page, at the "Sticky: feature requests and missing icons" topic in the "Issues" tab. That way I can keep track of things better and it's less likely that I'll forget. - Jul 27 2009
