Thanks, to tawan who spawned the idea.

And the Artists\' who created this theme.

kreator-(kreator_theme_005), darkmusic-(KillBang Wow!),
sen-(Mirav2 v0.5)

        

I have them all:)

not sure who is the original alas all very similar, except for background. Anyway, all nice work. I added some color,fixed a few things and added some
others.

This took on a life of its own
and evolved to Old Military greens.

There are a few bugs when setting window
pixmap bg. Some apps handle it different, the slider is different in Firefox, the game lights-off will not resize. Just some minor annoyances and
I kinda like the Firefox slider.

Includes:
Gtk2,Openbox3

NodokaC - Metacity Theme

        

Description:

This theme is a small attempt to make one good (convenient) desktop instead of thousands beauty but... ugh,.. useless (sic! :( ) themes.

So I added colours to one of standard FC theme - Nodoka. It simply makes window buttons much MORE VISIBLE. Something alike was made in http://fedora-art.org/content/show.php/Saturglass?content=106292 and, for XFCE by me athttp://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/MicrodeckC?content=137469

Thus I present NodokaC.

I build it for myself using standard metacity xml. New button colours are given inside metacity-theme-1.xml in web-#HHHHHH format. Feel free to look in metacity-theme-1.xml and change it if you like. Search-and-replace should help you change it in every place where needed. Other colours are tuned via gtk-theme as usual.

Install: 

Download file and unpack into ~/.themes folder. Archive contains also files from original Nodoka theme for convenience. Select theme NodokaC for metacity using standard measures of distro (smth. like gnome-appearance-properties->Modify->Window->Select from the list). 

Effect is immediate (for my F10).

Changelog:

v.0.0 Original version. TODO: edit icons bitmaps to increase icons contrast and visibility.

v.0.1. Added alternate colour for "unmaximize" button (see screenshot). I edit icon bitmaps for better visibility

Gnome Shell - Tron Legacy

 

This is a GNOME Shell theme inspired by the film Tron Legacy. Icons in the screenshot are also provided.

Font used is called Zero Threes

Light Cycle wallpaper

Instructions:

Backup your /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme directory (or where ever you have GNOME shell installed).

Extract the zip file and copy the theme directory to /usr/share/gnome-shell/

Restart GNOME Shell by Alt, F2, then type r and press enter.

Icons

Icons are in the directories that correspond to your icon theme. Backup your current icon theme and replace the icons in their directories. Apps use 48x48, places use 16x16, the application switcher uses scalable and the status menu uses 16x16. Your icon themes are in either /usr/share/icons or locally ~/.icons.

Switching Fonts

To use different fonts in GNOME Shell, just open the gnome-shell.css file found in your theme directory and find lines font: 10px sans; Replace "sans" with your font name, save the file and restart GNOME Shell. You must be superuser to do this.

NOTE

I recommend a version of GNOME Shell 2.31.2 to 2.31.5(out of date but 2.31.5 is installable with most recent distros like Ubuntu 10.10 and Fedora 14). Please don't use with Git(Jhbuild), since GNOME Shell has had a re-layout.

Performance

Due to the heavy use of shadows to achieve the glow, the performance may not be smooth on some systems. This is beyond my control, however remember that GNOME Shell is still in heavy development and does not reflect the final release quality.

See the GNOME Shell group for more info.

Git re-layout version is here, WIP [link]

The following theme mock-up by ~RustedThorn may be a tad indulgent on the branding scales, and closing an application via a menu every time would get real annoying real fast, but you know what? I really don’t care. It looks beautiful.

sudo apt-get install gnome-color-chooser gtk2-module-rgba

Launch gnome-color-chooser at System > Preferences > Gnome Color Chooser. Go to Engines tab, tick "Global" and select "Murrine" in the drop-down box.

How to get RGBA support in Ubuntu 10.04

RGBA stands for Red Green Blue Alpha. When applied to the computer desktop it means a whole world more. It means full-blown transparency with the ability to control the transparency like never before. This feature was supposed to make it into Ubuntu 10.04, but because of some show-stopping issues, it was pulled. It is now slated to make it into 10.10 and, judging from how well it is working now, it will do just that.

If you’re curious as to what an RGBA-enabled desktop will look like, take a gander atFigure A. This is Ubuntu 10.04 with GNOME and RGBA support installed and enabled.

I’m sure there are many out there who are saying, “Who cares? It’s just eye candy!” But there are plenty of others saying, “Me too! I want!” (or some variation of that theme). Well, in this installment of the open source blog I will stand down from my soap box and show you how you can have this delicious eye candy on your Ubuntu 10.04 desktop as well.

What you will need

Outside of the necessary software, you will need a graphics card that will support full Compiz features. So if your desktop will not allow you to enable Extra features for compiz, either don’t bother with this or go get a new card that will. You will also need to enable Compiz with at LEAST Normal effects. With that set, you are ready to install.

Installation

Open up a terminal window and issue the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:erik-b-andersen/rgba-gtk

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade 

sudo apt-get install gnome-color-chooser gtk2-module-rgba

sudo apt-get install murrine-themes

That’s it from the command line and the installation.

Enabling RGBA

There are a few steps to undertake in order to enable this feature.

1. Click System | Preferences | GNOME Color Chooser. In this window, scroll until you see the Engines tab.
2. Click the Global check box and then select Murrine from the dropdown.
3. Now click on the Preferences button; scroll down until you see “Configuration of Enable/Disable RGBA support” (see Figure B), and make sure both check boxes are checked.
4. Click OK and then click Apply in the main GNOME Color Chooser window. You can now dismiss this window.

The next step is to select an RGBA compatible theme. You installed these themes with the commands above. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Right-click on your desktop and select Change Desktop Background.
2. Click on the Themes tab.
3. Click the Customize button.
4. From the Controls tab scroll down until you find a Murrine them.
5. Select a Murrine them and click Close.
6. Close the Appearance Preferences window.

Now all you have to do is log out and log back in to enjoy full-blown RGBA support on your Ubuntu desktop!
