Description:

VERSION 1.4.1
It has come to my attention that some older versions of the pixmap engine (like the one found in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx) have a bug that causes severe visual glitches when transparency is used in menubars. If your menubars and panel indicators are messed up, go to the Fixes page of the Orta Settings Manager and check the option "Select this if your menus and panel have visual glitches". This will also remove transparency from the Gnome Menu Bar applet, so if you use this applet with the flat panel option to make the panel transparent, you are out of luck.

INSTALLATION :

Ubuntu PPA :

Please make absolutely sure you have removed any previous instances of the theme before installing via ppa.

To add the ppa and install the theme and the settings manager, type this on a terminal :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nikount/orta-desktop
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install orta-theme

To install the emerald decorators :

sudo apt-get install orta-emerald-decorators

To install the Xfwm4 decorators :

sudo apt-get install orta-xfwm4-decorators

You can find the Orta Settings Manager under the Preferences category of your Main Menu.

Manual Installation :

Extract the extractme.tar.gz archive that you find inside the zip, to a folder of your choosing. Inside, you will find the theme (Orta.tar.gz) and additional decorators (Orta-Squared.tar.gz and Orta-Old.tar.gz) along with some folders. First, right click on OrtaSettingsManager.py and make sure that the "Allow executing file as program" option is checked. Run it and press the uninstall button to remove any old versions of Orta from your system. You can install the theme and decorators manually by dragging and dropping them to the Gnome Appearance Preferences window, or you can use the installer on the Orta Settings Manager (recommended if you want to install for all users including root). Now you can go through the various tabs of the Settings Manager and setup the theme according to your preferences. When you are done click the save button. Make sure you select another theme on the Appearance Preferences dialog that pops up, and then go back to Orta in order to apply your changes.

Leave the orta folder alone, it includes the Orta Settings Manager files .

Inside the Chromium folder, you will find a Chromium theme and different sizes of scrollbars to install.

Inside the Awn folder you will find an Avant Window Navigator lucido style. There are also 5 emerald themes inside the emerald folder.

LICENCE :

The pixmaps are licensed under the Creative Commons non commercial share alike license, and the code under GPL v3. I've also included the original xcf sources of the pixmaps so that anyone can easily modify the theme to his/hers preferences.

Changelog:

Fixes:

- Synaptic fix for gtk2-engines-pixbuf version 2.20 and older.

- Main menu icon size reverted to 22.

Looks bad in Geany

There are two things to look at:

1. The tabs - They just don't look integrated like in Radiance.

2. Black scrollbars - Both the horizontal and vertical bars are black! This doesn't happen in other themes.

After some more testing I found out how this happens:

If Geany is opened and already has a blank file open then the scrollbars are messed up.

However if I open Geany and there is nothing there, the scrollbars appear as normal as soon as I create a new file.

This seems like a bug with the app's custom widgets and the pixbuf engine, i don't use black pixmaps anywhere in the theme. I am currently looking for a workaround.

Thanks for reporting the bug :)

Thanks for the nice skin. One I found is the selection text in the Ubiquity screen, when the mouse cursor isn't over the texts, then they're invisible: http://image.bayimg.com/babomaadc.jpg

I prefer a white colored panel instead of black, it doesn't seem to fit.

The Ubiquity problem will be fixed in the next version. As for a light colored panel, there already is one, just run the OrtaSettingsManager.py , select it, save your changes and reload the theme.

You can use the short gradient style or no gradients at all for a less dark look, and you can also tweak the window color through the gnome Appearance preferences.

I really love the smooth tabs because I didn't really like the light ones. These new ones rock and integrate much better!

Also you fixed that bug with Geany... amazing!

This is for you: <3 <3 <3

and I will also vote up your theme now! :)

Well, i am glad you like the new tabs, as they were a pain to implement :P. The problem with geany isn't exactly fixed, but it's certainly allot less obvious.
