Description: MurrinaCrystal theme, based on the great murrine engine (SVN) only.
Please leave a comment if you must vote bad, so that I can improve it, thanks in advance!
Note: The latest Murrine engine from SVN/GIT or Ver. 0.90.2+ is highly recommended!

How do you achieve this coloured button focus ?
The default Murrine engine button focus is a dark line underlining the text inside a button, and it's ugly, but your coloured focus is cool.
Can you enlight me please ?
Thanks alot for that.
One more thing: how do you define the colour of the focus ?
I know it's related to selected_fg_color but isn't there a way to set it independently ?
THANKS! I followed those instructions, but i could not make it look like your third image, and it still looks greyish, while other things changed. is my murrine engine not working fully?
Please post your human-theme here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Jaunty
the ubuntu-artwork-team would be very stupid if they dont use your human-theme for the coming ubuntu jaunty jackalope. for the artwork-deadline is still one week and your theme seems to have no bugs at all. please post it! a lot of ubuntu-users would be happy to see such a modern theme as the ubuntu-default!

Hello, I was wondering if the the murrina midnight that you were planning to do is still ongoing ? Thanks for your work :)
Hi, it's still on my todo list. I'm quite busy these days, I'm not so sure about the release date. Sorry for the long delay.

Hi, the line is removed by setting: GtkWidget::focus-line-width to 0.

For example: focus_color = @bg_color and the it can use "#xxxxxx" as well.
here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6839585#post6839585 the gtkrc am i missing somethin in the murrine engine?
NEVERMIND!!!
I suggest that you do diff between the one you modified and mine. I think it might be format related issue.
where do i open the file to do the customizations u suggested?
You mean the gtkrc? It should be located in ~/.themes/MurrinaCrystal*/gtk-2.0/gtkrc.

I'm not sure unless you show me a screenshot. The third one is a theme called MurrinaCrystalGlossyToolbar, you don't have to change your gtkrc.

murrina crystal glossy toolbar i mean
Weird, it works here. Would you paste your gtkrc somewhere?
i know its nearly perfect, but will there be any update in the next time?
Sure, it will be updated with the latest svn. That's why I don't call it FINAL:)
