Bipedal GTK+2/3 theme
Description
A GTK theme that attempts to unify the look of GTK environments running a mix GTK2 and GTK3 applications (most current GTK based desktops).
Attributes
A consistent theme which enables the user to remain oblivious as to the GTK version a particular application was designed for.
Smart, elegant, subtle, suitable for professional users.
GTK2 and their equivalent GTK3 Widgets are identical in every way.
Easily modifiable colours (All shades extrapolated from just 8 principal colours).
Can handle dark colour definitions (GTK2 and GTK3 applications will still look the same).
Requirements
GTK2 requires Murrine theme engine.
For a Debian-based distro (like Ubuntu or Linux Mint), you should install the gtk2-engines-murrine package:
apt-get install gtk2-engines-murrine
Most Linux distributions will already have the above packages installed.
Installation
User: Extract Bipedal folder to ~/.themes.
tar -jxvf ~/Downloads/Bipedal.tar.bz2 -C ~/.themes
Superuser: Extract Bipedal folder to /usr/share/themes.
sudo tar -jxvf ~/Downloads/Bipedal.tar.bz2 -C /usr/share/themes
Thereafter Bipedal should appear in your preferred theme selector dialogue.
Changing Colours
GTK2: Modify the line beginning gtk-color-scheme = in the file gtk-2.0/gtkrc.
GTK3: Modify the first 8 static color definitions in the file gtk-3.0/gtk-main.css.
If you have previously modified your colour settings using a theme selector you might have reset the colours to default for the above manual method to work.

I have made a few minor changes to the menu background for GTK 3.16.

Enjoy the stripy progress bars while you can, from libgtk-3.14 the progress bars aren’t compatible with GTK2 any more, they’re just an ugly, barely visible thin sliver whose height isn’t themeable.

Can`t you simple use a stripe pattern as bg url image and repeat it ?.
That should work if im not mistaken. Please try using a simple svg assets that gets repeated ( no animation etc, but better than flat!)

I have not been able to test 3.16 yet, I need a bleeding edge live distro iso with a light desktop that will run in my virtual machine (ie. not Gnome, Cinnamon or Unity).

very clean code and its working nicely and has normal neutral colors.
Better than ambiance or adwaita for 15.04.!
You deserve an upvote for this theme i think!
kind regards
