Shining Silver (Metapackage)
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work):
The theme is now meant to come as a metapackage including a gtk2 theme, a metacity theme, a gdm theme and a usplash theme.
untar the archive in your /home/user/.themes/ folder or in your /usr/share/themes/ folder as root for complete desktop integration.
You may like the tango-noir icon set or my customized shining silver icon set.
The theme includes the GTK main theme and the metacity that goes along !
You'll NO MORE have to install the murrine engine to have the theme work on your computer.
Final + GDM + usplash
Final: Rewrote the gtkrc entirely and based it completely upon the clearlooks engine.
Additionnaly, I tweaked quite a lot of things and smoothed a lot of shades.
Added better contrast for buttons and menus.
v3.1: tweaked a couple of widgets. Now the themes looks quite close to what I had in mind...
v3.0: Changed menubar and panel
Entirely redesigned the metacity theme (pixart and code) which is now based on the human metacity code.
Added new features - a couple of parameters are now powered by both the murrine and the clearlooks engine.
Slightly modified the color scale.
Corrected some minor display issues.
V2.0: New menubar, slightly darker shades on some widgets, tooltips modified.
V1.1: slicker (in my humble opinion) metacity decoration.
V1.0 original release

Glad you have switch to Clearlooks :)
Well I suppose the murrine engine is only good to a point. Its main problem/asset is precisely its being graphically too 'murrine'... you get bored of it... But it's a good thing it actually exists as it give people the opportunity to have a choice and learn from what has been achieved so far. I'm sure clearlooks/ubuntulooks/murrine will 'merge' in a way or another at some point.
Just Tasteful. I am from the "dark" side of the force but I'd really would like this. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot for the theme! It's really cute! Please don't stop on that!
Thank you !
The theme suggests an iconset. Are you going to release it?
Yes, within a week. I'm cleaning up the set at the moment !
