Description: Added orange version. Decided to make a orange version to match "Gaim - Dapper theme" icon theme: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=40110 See this guide how to install everything: http://www.ubins.org/archives/35 ########## Hi! This is my first guification theme for Gaim. I tried to make something simple but yet nice. It is tested on Gaim v2 Beta.
All guifications have blue colour scheme expect these which are related to user, for example if someone is writing to you or has mentioned your nick in chatroom.
Please test it before rating it! All comments are waited...Last changelog:
v1.1 Oct 31 - Replaced .rar archives with .tar.gz ones. v1.1 Oct 31 - Added orange version. v1.0 Oct 29 - Releasing. Waiting for feedback.
on Ubuntu you can install rar archiver by opening terminal and typing:
sudo apt-get install rar
But I'll replace existing .rar files with .tar.gz ones anyway...
I included a file in archive with instructions for installing.
Unpack theme into /home/youruser/.gaim/guifications/themes
(Replace youruser with your linux user name).
Now you have theme installed but you have to select it from Gaim menu. In Gaim 2 go to Buddy List and select Tools > Plugins > Guifications > Configure > Themes.
I was thinking about making something with red for warnings and maybe a hole orange/brown theme for Ubuntu :), but the icon theme will be for blue-green version.

On Ubuntu Gaim Ubins Theme isn't working. Pidgin only finds it if you remove the first line of the file "theme.xml". Quote:<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
has to be deleted because it is there two times.

a ubuntu theme would be cool, also i see a lot of people theming the guificatiosn but is it possible to theme the buddy list?
Hi, some time ago i made a theme with ubuntu style, you can found here http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=40005.
cool thansk, but what about themeing the buddy list?
Are you talking about new icons for protocols, background, etc...??
i am talking about the window list, the gaim window that shows which buddies are online, and such. Can that be themed?
I think that you can change the icons but manually, not with a theme packet (automatic).
This theme gave me original idea. I like that space between screen borders ;).
Very nice. I love it! Good idea the green color for the user and blue in other cases....
