Description:

Its been a very long road but I have finally released the first working version of the theme! I hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think and please feel free to leave criticism and suggestions.

::Background::

A theme that i have been working on to compliment my Polar Icons 2 theme (see link provided below). It has taken quite a long time for me to make so i apologise for the wait, this is partly due to all the widgets being novel to this theme (at least when i made it). This theme is intended to provide the slick looks of alot of the dark pixmap based themes and create a lighter one (something i have noticed is quite rare for some reason). This will remain an on-going project so any flaws noticed let me know and i will do my best to fix them.

::Planned changes::
-look into changing scrollbar
-look into changing progressbar

::Package includes::
-gtk theme
-metacity theme
-index.theme file
-emerald theme

::Links::

Changelog:

0.0 - Preview
0.1 - First release
0.2 - Arrows fixed
0.3 - A few changes in line with suggestions

Do you think you'll do a black version of the polar theme in the future?

Yes i think that this is a very probable idea. I have been considering it for a while, ive just got to fine polish this one a little first and then ill probably start on that.

Thanks for the interest,

James

I'm very sorry but I must say that I really don't look this kind of theme..
I've seen a lot of theme like this (MK64's themes, for example.. lasts works, at least): it seems all so confused! The font doesn't fit in with the rest.. Colors are too much light to make this theme shines..

It's only my opinion, it's clear! Consider it as less important than the positive others..
Maybe the problem is only mine.. and my taste's wrong.. maybe..

bye, man.. and, last words: I'm so envious of all of you themers guys.. 'cause I'm not able at all to make a skin of mine.. totally unable!!

go on with your works, so..

Hi brainvision, thanks for your comments. Personally i don't think anyones opinion is of any less worth than others.

I think alot of it comes down to personal taste i personally am quite a big fan of MK64's work and admittedly alot of our themes seem to share common elements. I can however appreciate your point as this theme is quite well "busy" if you like and possibly slightly more difficult to use than some counter part engine themes.

Regarding your comment on being unable to create themes. You may well find that with only a little experimentation you can create a theme of your own. If you can locate a pixmap based theme as a base (like this one) you need only to edit the png files to make some basic changes to the theme. I started out doing this to the robs Overglossed theme a few months ago and have progressed bit by bit from there (although i am still far from a pro). Another engine that is quite easy to manipulate is the murrine engine if you can locate a few of those, they may also be worth a look.

Best of luck,

James

Thanks for this great theme!
I'm kind of over all the "shiny black" themes, so it's good so see my desktop a little brighter. One question though, it appears like your panels are translucent? How do you do that?

Cheers!

Ya you can do it using compiz fusion. Open the compiz fusion settings manager and go onto the opacity, brightness and saturation settings. Then on opacity click the "new" button and type in the following (name=gnome-panel) then just select how opaque you would like it to be (i currently use 85). You can also use these settings to make practically anything semi-transparent i als0 use it to make my menus see-through.

Good luck and let me know if you have any problems or have any further questions,

James
