Hi. About that fount colour in Yours first link U can change it when U install "GNOME color chooser". It is in repository...:) That second problem is more complicated. I have that problem too :/

Finally a good dark theme which doesn't collide with apps like firefox, thunderbird and so on. A great work, congratulations!

I use it since 2 weeks ;) And it's great as dark Theme, very "ubuntonisch" ;-) and fits very well with my new Icon-Theme I created for Ubuntu :D As Panel I use GummuJar-Panel!

deviantdark

I am actually using it on my ArchLinux, and I am very happy with is. What is GummuJar-Panel?

schollidesign

Oh, of course .. sry. GummyJAR-Panel is here: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/GummyJAR+Panel?content=93481 ;)

Thanks for this. A great dark theme that works. i updated murrine engine from this site and now loads of themes look like w95. so dust is out the window. but this just works. great theme. cheers dude

You can solve this problems? If I open or save something the text of files (not the directorytexts) are very strange (doublepixeld). The Filds in FireFox are have a black background (it's okay ;) ) with a black text above (not okay). You can fix it please :)

schollidesign

Sorry ... the only one problem I have is Firefox. The Buttons for choosing (black) have a black text. This should be fixed ... the rest is very good ;)

I don't know how solve this. It seems that it's an incorrect use of colours of firefox not compatible with standard variables for colors, so dark themes looks bad. I will investigate it, but inmediate solution is not posible.

schollidesign

Thank you for trying ... I use it already and I like it ;)

jecovier

Maybe you could write a userchrome.css file for firefox or use the stylish addon.. or you can create a firefox theme je je je... these are the solutions i know.

schollidesign

FF3-Addon would be nice, but it seems it works with this Version (1.31) better and not really necessary ;) OOo can be improved a little bit more, but it's okay now ;)

Please help me. How to install this theme. I copy file into Theme folder, and with standart procedure install theme. Theme meneger say me what all succesful installed, but i can`t select this theme into theme meneger.

darkwater

Try to select it in button personalize. Choose the theme in controls and window borders.

schollidesign

It's better than Darkroom form Ubuntu and nearly so good like the Dust-Theme. Yes it can be a DarkTheme for Ubuntu. Thank you ;)
