Ambiance-bordered (no desktop effects)

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

Description:

** About **
Ambiance-bordered was created to provide better usability over the original Ambiance for users without desktop effects enabled. Changes include:

* There is now a dark border around the window contents for easier visibility of the window edge in the absence of a compositing engine's shadows. A side-benefit of this change is that it is now much easier to resize the window borders by dragging the edges.

* Pop-up menu boundaries are now slightly darker, improving their visibility.

** Installation **
Copy the folder "Ambiance-bordered" into your ~/.themes folder, or into /usr/share/themes to install for all users (including "sudo" applications).

In old computers without graphic effects this theme is fantastic! :D

I like the idea of a modern looking theme for GTK2 that is specifically developed leaving Desktop Effects aside.
Something refreshing, IMHO.

Cheers

I've been searching for a theme like Ambiance, but with New Wave-like borders and with a dark toolbar (dark like the menubar, I mean).

I don't know that I'd be able to do that. I just made simple tweaks to the existing Ambient theme; I don't know how to do vast modifications such as changing toolbar colors, etc.
