This is a very very black modification of
my slickness theme.
I made it cause someone here at gnome-look
asked if I could.
New feature since version 0.3:
You can now choose colors using gnome
theme manager.
It is my very first try at something like this so it might not work exactly as planned.
Feedback of any kind is always welcome :D

0.1 Fixed some bugs, Improved look of overall look, (should be more usable now)
changed look of toolbar and other things.
0.1.1 Fixed a bug where when you renamed a file
in nautilus you couldn't see the cursur.
0.2 Changed the colorscheme a little, a bit brighter now (but it's easier to spot some widgets that has focus etc.)
Some other minor changes.
0.3 You don't like my colorscheme?
choose your own colors in gnome theme manager. (just click restore to defaults
if something goes wrong).
0.3.2 Changed default colorscheme again and
improved the active/selected/normal colorshading
Fixed a bug that made some trayicons to
be drawn 1 pixel too low (Many thanks to
Moomex for that!!!!!!) ,made some minor tweaking to some elements (ie tabs are smaller now).
0.4 Made new scrollbar-sliders (older ones
where hard to spot), made completely new
entry style, fixed some uglyness in genereal. new listheaders. (in the first
screenshot I use macmenu hack version,
but this looks exactly like it except
for the menubar ofc)
0.5 Changed the scrollbarsliders a little,
removed the shadow from inactive fonts (as requested)
,included a fix for firefox (not mine).
0.5.1 Managed to remove the disabled font
shadow on treeview text too, (if you find
it someplace else let me know)
0.5.5 Fixed a bug where gimp showed ugly widgets
and removed the spacing between metacity
buttons.
0.6 Fixed a bug where various apps inherited
the toolbar style.
0.6.2 Fixed more bugs... Gimp should look
fine now.
0.8 Now comes as a full theme package,
Including Taners amazing wallpapaer!!
plus I fixed some bugs and improved some stuff.
0.9 You can now have white input boxes
(as shown on screenshot 2) cause I changed
some color inheritance (combobox now has
different inhertitance and cursor in
box inherits text color).

Your directions were great, smooth and no problems. I don't have your suggested icon theme, but LaGa blackwhite will work until I get it.
Thanks for the hard work it's great!

cp: cannot create directory `/usr/share/themes/SlicknesS-black': Permission denied
Any ideas why?

It will recommend new icons. Use the recommended or your own. To get new icons do the exact same thing for the theme. (extract to desk top, open themes menu, drag and drop)
Hope this helps :-)

And you can most certainly skip the chmod 777 command. Why would you want an image file with executable permissions, owned by the administrator, and writable by anyone, is beyond me. If you ran the command, run it again with 644 instead of 777 to fix the permissions.
Sudo should not be used lightly, and always think twice before copy pasting a sudo command (well, *any* command, but specially administrator ones). If you don't have an idea what a command does, I would at least look for signs that someone that does found it harmless.
Viruses and trojans don't abound in Linux, but they will if people don't keep their guard up. Let's not make the first Galician virus a reality: "Hi, this is the first Galician virus. Please send a copy of this message to all your friends, and then format your hard drive. Thank you!" ;)
Other than that, nice theme. I did revert OpenOffice to black text over a gray background (in Options -> OOo -> Appearance) to avoid problems, but everything else has a nice gloomy flavor.
