Description:
This is a an UbuntuStudio emerald theme. Heliodor just wasn't cutting it for me and I was getting redraw bugs on the buttons.

This theme works perfect with the UbuntuStudio theme. If you want the theme on your normal ubuntu setup, see here:

If you have any ideas or contributions to make this theme better, please let me know!

how to disable titlebar button flashing so that they behave like the original ubuntu studio theme

sabrebutt

can't do

Open the Emerald Theme Manager (System > Preferences > Emerald Theme Manager) then switch to the "Emerald Settings" tab at the top of the window. Uncheck "Use Button Fade Pulse." I do believe that is what you are refering to.

It is such a breath of fresh air to get a theme NOT trying to look like Vista! Thanks, I love the big buttons. Simon

The buttons are HUMONGOUS! Large frames normally don't bother me, but this is a little too much. Please forgive me for being blunt, but the buttons give the theme a feel as if it were made for children. Other then that, it's very nice. But I'd definitely make the buttons smaller, atleast a little bit, because they stand out like a sore thumb by being so large.

Where in the ini files do you set the flash interval? I would like to set it not to flash. or maybe flash slower.

megamads

Nice theme. Where can you get that wallpaper?

sabrebutt

You might be able to find it here: http://lizardstalkinggarbage.biz/files/pictures/damask.gif I'm glad you liked it, thanks for the support.

one small issue that i have is that when you minimize and maximize with the button it doesn't redraw the buttons very fast. But make no mistake, great theme!

udolf

u asked for suggestions so ill just add mine smaller buttons ? make buttons transparent (taking on the colour of the rest of the titlebar) so that i can change the colour of the whole theme and the buttons will change accordingly i know this will be irrelewant to pplm wanting ubuntustudio colours and this is an ubuntustudio theme tho but for me who likes this theme a lot, but not the colours it would be great ;)

sabrebutt

I've gone ahead and made the buttons transparent, great idea! http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=59288
