IMPORTANT:
* Make sure you have the latest versions possible of both the Murrine and Aurora engines installed.
* You can get the icon collection I'm using in the screenshot at http://drop.io/hcarvalhoalves/asset/neon . Please note that those icons were NOT created by me, they were just collected from here, deviantArt and other places.
I love this theme, should at least be available for other people to download, so here it is: http://www.mdn.fm/files/168245_9tvkq/Neon.tar.gz
Also, I made an Openbox theme that goes well with it: http://box-look.org/content/show.php?content=140717
Not developing this theme anymore. This one is a similar attempt at a dark/blue theme:

Your theme is beautiful also with light or silver colors. One problem: when i change colors to grey the icons' background in the panel remains black. I have a transparent background for my panel, so it seems a lil bit ugly. Also menus are too dark, even if I change colors. I know that this theme was thought to be a dark theme, but can you fix this please, i like lighter so much!
P.s. sorry for my english :)
Screenshoot of how it appears:

I agree to this. I like the bold headers of the menus but I would like to have the possibility to get the applications in it not to be in bold font.
Thanks for your work :)
The bold fonts will only look good if you're using a quality font, with what is called "true bolds" (like Lucida, Myriad Pro, Liberation Sans, etc.), otherwise it will look blurry.
So I recommend using a good font anyway, as the bold helps increasing contrast. If you still want to disable bold on menus, edit the file ~/.themes/Neon/gtk-2.0/gtkrc, and remove the line at 15.
See also the included README for more tips on getting better fonts.

Hi, thanks for the Wonderful theme...One question though! Is there a way i can change the menus to normal? Its a little too bold to my liking.
