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).

Yeah that is a bug in firefox if you don't use
the included css style file that I included in
slickness....
In the latest firefox 3 it works without any fixes at
all.

try this nice fix Gerva did:
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Openoffice+fix+for+slickness+black+theme?content=77415
What it does is that it starts openoffice with
the ordinary slickness theme so openoffice
does not suffer from the annoyances that
it does when using a dark theme!
Glad you like my work and I hope you enjoyed hacking it! ;D
hope this helps!

a firefox theme, doesn't that change the
font colors?
Maybe not... are you sure you run darkfix
correctly????
since there shouldn't after that be any
problems in firefox :)
thanks for reporting tho!

I would like to know if you think make a new version of "Slickness black" more evolved as for "Slickness" which is more evolved. "Slickness black" is my favorite theme and it is a pity that "Slickness black" does not profit from the same changes (such as lift).
Bye !

enough time for this theming business....
I will update when I have the time :)
SlicknesS is the theme I use myself so it
feels natural for me to work on that one
in the first place :)
Thanks!

Yeah, those install instructions are a bit wrong....
I thought I had them corrected butobviously
not... the only thing you have to do is split
the command to two commands, so they are
sudo cp -r $HOME/Desktop/SlicknesS-black /usr/share/themes
and then
sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/themes/SlicknesS-black/Slickness-black.jpg
hope this helps!
