0.2 Changed the menubar highlight and re-made the menues (now we have overglassy menues to ;D)
0.3 You can now have white input boxes
(as shown on screenshot 3) cause I changed
some color inheritance (combobox now has
different inhertitance and cursor in
box inherits text color).
0.4 Now comes as a theme, Included taners
amazing wallpaper he provided for this theme!!!
04.08.2008 Taner made a new wallpaper,
It is absolutely fantastic! Uploaded with
that one and changed screenshots.
a HUGE thank you again Taner! You are
the best!

Does anyone happen to know where I can find the 'black-white_2-Style' icons or ones that work well with this theme?
Thanks for your hard work.

I just want to commend you on your great artwork. This is the first theme I've used on Linux. I've been running Ubuntu for only about a month now and I have to say I found everything I needed quite easily. I'm having one problem though, I'm forced to activate my Emerald theme every time I log in using Alt-F2 and 'emerald --replace' Is there any way to force the emerald to run always from startup? Sometimes it goes away completely for what appears to be no reason and I have to run the code again. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit Desktop edition. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Awesome theme though.
P.S. I've figured out how to get Audacious to show in Conky without compiling from source. Saved me a lot of work. You can use Audtool. I think I saw a lot of people asking that on your other comments page.

My only problem/question: I'm running it on Lubuntu Lucid with LXDE, so I'm only using the gtk-2.0 theme. I was trying to modify the color scheme by editing the gtkrc file. All is working except the tooltip colors: they stay the same no matter of what HEX-code I'm using for them in the gtkrc file. I suspect it's about some color inheritance, but I'm stuck right now. Any suggestions? Where should I change the colorcodes in order to accomplish this?
(Before you ask: I can't change colors in the theme manager as I don't have the latest LXAppearance2 installed which lets you change colors via GUI.)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I did notice my menus aren't transparent and don't have the glow. Any help would be great as I'm a noob. I started using Linux literally yesterday.

I can't seem to get the folder icons to be replaced. I tried re-installing but the folders icons are not changing. I tried changing theme and retuning to this theme but no luck :( I noticed that the icons are locked in the icons folder itself. See link for image, I am assuming this has something to do with it.

Any suggestions?

sudo apt-get install conky
gedit /home/{your user name}/.conkyrc
copy the following script and save.
To run hit Alt-F2 and type conky.
The script is very "bare bone" but should get you going quickly! You can read up on Ubuntu forums for more info.
hope this helps!
