Description: A dark, nearly black GTK2 theme. Contains borderless themes for Beryl (Emerald) and Metacity.
To resize windows using borderless themes (in Gnome at least), press Alt + Middle mouse button and drag the window. If there is any interest I could add Metacity and Emerald themes with borders later. If anyone needs more color variations, just ask. Installation:Download the package, extract it, open the folder and read the instructions file. Info:The Emerald themes has two versions, one with OSX-like buttons and another which resembles Vista buttons. The same applies to Metacity themes.
Firefox, Gaim and Open Office have some issues with dark themes. Fixes are provided in the instructions file.
Ubuntu users: Install the package 'gtk2-engines-pixbuf' to use the theme: sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf.Last changelog:
0.0.4 - Added an orange GTK2 theme.
0.0.3 - Removed the GTK2 theme script and replaced with tarballs instead.
0.0.2 - Made buttons a bit easier to see. - Window decoration buttons makes more sense. - Added a script called color-chooser.sh which obviously adds more color variations. You need to have ImageMagick installed to use it. See the instructions.
0.0.1 - First release.
Known issues:- Problems with black text on dark background (or white on white) in some programs. - Using larger Gnome (or Xfce) panels than 48 pixels does not look good. - Insensitive text in menus are a bit hard to read. Same with blue link color. - Checkboxes in Firefox may have wrong colors (but works). - Search bar in Rhythmbox is hard to read.
Thanks to nanoflower and Neutronium for providing the basis for this theme.
I can't make the theme show in Appearance > themes after i dragged the Cobra-Blue.tar.gz into the box. It says theme installed successful and the files are also in my .themes folder but still ??
Im on mandriva 2011 btw
hi Dear,
I love this Theme. Bit as I haved moved over to Emerald-Theme, I would love an Emerald-Theme from this.

when i use openoffice
the normal icons for standard features such as
Open, save,
Document as email,
export directly as pdf are all just text instead of icons
and even when i go into the appearance settings and change the interface settings to "Icons Only"
it still only displays text in openoffice
Attention! Attention! Xfce users.. There is an xfwm theme, so you can enjoy this great theme with the Xfce Desktop!

excellent theme... really excellent...
but i can't simple use it for openoffice is unusable for instance ...
does ANYONE know how to try to solve this problem :/
actually i found the thing about changing the background ...
but the image style in OO simply doesn't do anything
whatever i select it's always on the same
then i switch to some classic theme and i can change the style...
bah so annoying!
i really like your theme. good work! but there is one point with this theme, in gaim/pidgin chat window there is black text on black background...
to fix this create a gtkrc-2.0 in .purple dir in your home and put the following in it:

How did you add the fast user switch to the gnome menu?
Nevermind! Just removed the fast switcher and it moved itself to the main menu :P

Do you know of any way to make the VLC buttons visible while using this theme? They're black buttons, unfortunately
I found a slight workaround for this by installing VLC with theme support, selected a light theme and voila. Problem solved.
gnome-theme-manager says the file format is invalid. anybody got any ideas how to fix this?
Having exact same problem, love the theme, but can't get it installed. Anybody know the fix?
They archive contains the files for all the different colors of the theme, you have to go in and extract them each individually

{
base[NORMAL] = "#292B29"
}
class "GtkWidget" style "Custom"
it should be no problem to adjust the bg-colour to your needs...
