Description:

After almost 2 years, I've decided to upload the very latest Core GTK, Metacity and Emerald of the FutureLooks theme which is at version 3.3. Also available are emerald window borders (which are now unused in favor of a new Metacity theme) and a nice recoloring of one of the default Ubuntu Jaunty wallpapers.

In my humble opinion, it is one of the most simple and visually appealing themes available on GNOME, whilst its murrine base keeps it snappy.

The Liberation fonts at size 10 are strongly recommended, which can be installed on Ubuntu with:

sudo aptitude install ttf-liberation

The best icons to use with this theme are the Elementary icons. This theme was designed with these in mind.

The Panel background IS there, but you need to hover your mouse over the top left corner until you see a magnifier, then right-click and "save as" to download it from Firefox.


-----------------------------------
Anyway, enjoy the theme and don't forget to leave feedback!

11 years ago

1/07/2009 - Major changes:
- A new metacity, based on my own modifications of Shiki-colors, has been added and will be used instead of the old emerald theme, which was barely used.
- Lightened default gtk colors
- Made theme follow shiki's menu item behavior (color now fills the whole selection)
- Scrollbars are slightly thicker again to be in proportion to the other widgets
- Several other tweaks to proportions, colors used, etc
- Meliae is no longer a recommended icon theme.
- You can download all the theme elements in one file now.

12/06/2009 (2)- Moved files to Google Code to prevent malware warnings, added a new metacity theme for those who don't want to use emerald.

12/06/2009 - Fixed issue with minimum scrollbar height, added links for meliae and elementary icon themes

I get this when starting gtk apps after applying the theme, and the app starts with no theming.

I try to download from your link but Firefox gave me Reported Attack Site. I know this somehow could not have any effect with Linux but could you move the download site to other mirror maybe?

Thanks

This is the second time someone's said something about this. I'll move it to Google Code instead.
