Marples is a (gtk2/3) theme, for those who like dark themes. the name marples is derived and pays homage to Marp-1-blue theme by Malys777. - Being as it was born out of that theme. Marples is ever evolving, and i am putting a great deal of effort into the details, and subtleties. i would say the theme is beta right now, but is coming along nicely. I'll probably consider it a good clean release by 2.0
*A quick disclaimer - i am working on this a little everyday, so changes happen fast. Once, i complete this theme, i will then remix it into a lighter marples theme :) *

Gnome 3.2 broke Marples, so i am now in the process of fixing it (STILL!) ...lol
I've now changed this theme somewhat, for now there are very few borders, and i've been messing about' with the toolbar, which i will be revising. the menu is a little better now, and i got rid of some of the white frames, on various widgets.
Mutter now supports transparency, so everything should look similar to compiz, minus blur - which only compiz has, from what i can tell.
.cell is now a gradient. i've done this as 3.2 killed my sidebar gradient. in gnoe 3.0 the .sidebar and .cell weren't tied into each other, but that is not the case anymore :( . atleast i killed the frame :)
anyways, expect some more changes over the next few days.
* FIREFOX COLOR ISSUES:
Quick Note: A few people elsewhere were a little frustrated by firefox with dark themes, so i thought i should post about this - if you have issues with Firefox - text boxes being black, cant read text, etc...
..you'll need to access about:config (firefox config) in FF's addressbar, then type 'colors' in the searchbar... you can set firefox to ignore your theme colors, and/or specify your own colors ~ just open youtube in a separate tab (or other problematic sites), while you modify them to suit. it works like a charm :)
EXTRAS:
a few people have asked me for a couple of my GFX/logo/icons that i have made for gnome, they are available for download below, here is a quick run down of where they go, in the linux file-system;
____________________________________
* 1. Alien Gnome Logo
____________________________________
this file is called "side.png", and is used with gnome-system-monitor. Simply replace the existing side.png found here;
/usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-system-monitor/side.png
_____________________________________
* 2. Gnome-tweak-tool alternate logo
_____________________________________
the file is called "welcome.png. you must replace;
/usr/share/gnome-tweak-tool/welcome.png
with the new welcome.png file.
I use Archlinux, which allows me to stop future updates to both these files (so my logos never get replaced through an update ~ the NoUpgrade flag in pacman.conf). But i'm not sure how to do this in other distro's, so you are on your own, im sure it's possible though... ;)
___________________________________________________
*NEW* 3. Gnome-system-monitor 3.1.4 (dark remix, black graphs, other tweaks)
___________________________________________________
For this you will have to have GIT installed, and be willing to compile it because the colors are 'hardcoded', i have removed the cairo highlight tab crap... *my alien logo doesn't need to be downloaded seperately as it lives in my git branch. i have made other subtle changes to the source code.
steps from commandline;
1. git clone git://gitorious.org/gnome-system-monitor-blackgtk3/gnome-system-monitor-blackgtk3.git
2. cd into directory
3. ./autogen.sh
4. ./configure --prefix=/usr
5. make
6. sudo make install
enjoy ;)

a SHOUTOUT to the original author;
the original theme, Marp-1-blue was created by Malys777 found here;
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Marp-01-blue?content=143597
from that link you can find other themes made by him, as well as a link to his profile.
the great thing about Malys777's themes, is the use of pixmaps. one of the things that bothered me about gtk3 right off the hop, was the lack of available themes built around pixmaps. I'm glad Malys made his themes, they might be a little too colorful, a little 'busy' and not really my style, but awesome nonetheless, based on the code and his ideas.

i have no plans of maintaining it anymore and have moved on to a new theme, that i don't even plan on releasing - the reason being, i am a busy person and don't have the time to fix other peoples issues. ie: i won't be installing eclipse, nor updating this theme to test your issue.
sorry, but i just don't have the time/interest.

I don't use libre office, so i'll have to install it and take a look.
...and hey, if you really like the theme, and want to have a stab at fixing some of the issues you see, i am more than willing to integrate any changes into the theme, if they are helpful to users. - i say this, because i am fairly busy as of late.

The solution is to put themes on /usr/share/themes instead of the /home/.themes.
So your great theme works everywhere now :)

You should check it out =)
Please look this screenshot, on the right you will see Mintupdate which is weird "gestionnaire de mise à jour".

I've seen some bugs in gnome 2 :
- In gtk-2/gtkrc, you ask for the file "Menu-Menubar/blank.png which does not exist.
- There is a bug in gnome-main-menu, when a menu is higher then screen and you clic on a down arrow : le menu move down and move up directely after. To fix it : replace in gtk2/gtrc :
"function : ARROW
...
overlay_border = { 0, 0, 0, 0 }
"
by
"function : ARROW
...
overlay_border = { 2, 2, 2, 2}
"
This appears four times.

i appreciate the help, as i'm really new to theming, and i want this theme to work well for everybody. - so it helps, when others notice problems, and have a solution.

as fore blank.png - it should be there, but it's likely possible that i accidentally moved it, as i have a couple themes sharing that file. i probably moved it instead of copying it. that's easy enough to fix :)
