Suggest Your Favorite Gnome Themes

[Noah0504]

I like the default Ubuntu theme, but I kind of want to get away from it. I'm having trouble finding a theme that I really like. Can anyone suggest their favorite themes?

[chadwick359]

For a good minimalist theme, look at The Beck Theme.

[closeyourwindows]

in order of 1-5

1. Snowish (by far) :KS
2. OSX
3. Tango
4. Edge
5. Crystal SVG

[ubuntu27]

I like "Amaranth" theme

[Noah0504]

Thanks for all of your suggestions!

[SamH]

My favorite is Ana paired with d3a icons.

My current setup:

Metacity: Unity (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=32167)
GTK: gperfection2 (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=25407)
Icons: A few variations (mostly from interfacelift.com (http://www.interfacelift.com) and NuoveXT (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=26448)) on gperfection2 (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=22989).

[Omnios]

Id have to say the ish series, rounded top and bottom widows with a custom default icon set with gorilla folders.

I hope you don't mind if I copy it. It's quite pretty.

Go ahead; I elaborated with links so that you can copy it :cool:

[nocturn]

I love Water Vapor with AlphaCube Metacity borders.

Also, AlphaCube GTK is nice...

Icons: NuoveXT

Id have to say the ish series, rounded top and bottom widows with a custom default icon set with gorilla folders.I was just thinking this morning about rounding the bottom corners on ish (especially for the new Aqua-Advanced). If you have this done already, want to save me time, and email me the code, I will be glad to give you credit.

Oh, as for the thread question...
I've probably used the ish (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=26678) and ish-cairo (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=33572) series more than any other theme. Mostly because the different colors schemes go so well with the type of wallpapers I like.

Then I go to the other side and do the earthy thing with Unity (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=32167) and gPerfect (not gperfection2), which is found in the
Big (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=25557)
Packs (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=33574)

Check out the ish milk they have rounded bottom corners

[jsmidt]

My favorite is clearlooks, with Mac OS window borders and crystal clear icons.

[bvc]

Check out the ish milk they have rounded bottom cornersyou mean T-ish Milk (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=31146)? That's done with pixmaps. Thanks anyway!

[mcduck]

I like 'Graphite' GTK theme with 'Gentleman' window borders and 'Tango Original' icons.

[ossi]

I am going for the t-ish themes, which I think work very good. I sometimes use the nuove xt icons or the snowish icons.

[fishbroetchn]

i use the darker theme. it just looks really different from the win, osx ones.

have to try it

[tmahmood]

I Have two choices... :D

1. Clearbox-In Window border with Clearlooks-executive controls
2. Smokey Window border with Smooth-Coolblue controls

& D3A or GNANT icons

[lizardking]

i use clearlook2 metacity
clearlook default color or human
icon: Yasis
wallpaper: the gentleman wallaper (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=31128)

[ardchoille]

My favourite gnome theme is the Clearlooks Big Pack:

http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=25557

My favourite of that pack is Clearlooks-Executive. I use openbox as my window manager, instead of Metacity, and I created a nice openbox theme that matches Clealooks-Executive :)

[s6dalane]

My favourite is the gperfection² Suite.
I love the colours and it fits very well with my backround(s). :)

[dude2425]

My absolute favorite:
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=33871
The only pink clearlooks theme in existence (not counting the pink in ish, because the gray makes my eyes hurt)
I made it myself when I realized there was no good pink themes. I may get bored again and do a few others sometime later on, but not sure.

It requires the latest gtk-engines from GNOME's CVS, which you can find a how-to on these forums if you don't know how to get it.

[jeff--]

Currently I'm just using Human, but I have had the OSX theme and it looks very good I think.

[jsmidt]

Mine is clearlooks witk Mac OS bordors and crystal clear icons.

[tmilovan]

you mean T-ish Milk (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=31146)? That's done with pixmaps. Thanks anyway!


No they are not :))

Bitmap files are just leftovers form before.

However, T-ish milk is now obsolete so I suggest you take the T-ish or T-ish brushed borders (no bitmaps) and mod them to your need. I built my gtk themes on your ish themes so it's only fair to repay you back with metacity :)) wich is heavily modified GlossyP.

Cheers,

Toni

D3a all the way! Metacity, GTK2 and icon. Clean, beautifull and non-disturbian at the same time without distracting you for do your work/stuff.

[Revert]

Xi-Albook Theme
BlendedSmallDoubleRound Window Border
Glass Icons (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=32146) (I love the icons)

[benplaut]

i like my own... search gnome-look for 'userbility' ;)

ToniThanks but I already rounded ish and aqua-advanced. Standard size window border titlebar, across all platforms, is 23px allowing larger font sizes to increase titlebar height. T-ish starts at 26px, which is fine if that's your taste but, at least in the black theme, there are 22px and 23px buttons which 'could', but not necessarily, make it difficult for someone to adjust the titlebar down. Oh, and the black buttons are a little rough on the left and right sides. Just letting you know. Have fun!

[bvc]

Xi-Albook Theme
BlendedSmallDoubleRound Window Border
Glass Icons (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=32146) (I love the icons)In case you don't know (since I added it after initial release) there is an all rounded Xi-Albook metacity.

[Revert]

Yeah, I just really like the minimize/maximize/close buttons on the BlendedSmallDoubleRound. Right now I'm actually using BBX-Mercury to see if I prefer it. I'll have to change my wallpaper to match it. ;)

The MMX-Mercury icons look pretty nice, too, but all the download links seem to be down.

Edit: They're up now, and beautiful.

I know, thanks :)

It will take some time polishing them so I decided to give it a try and chech user opinions. If I receve score above 70% or more then 10 usercomments in reasonable time I'll polish everything.

Btw, thanks for your work, I'm a fan :)

Clearlook Olive (GTK2), Clearlooks Metacity & gPerfection2 icons:
http://clearlooks.sourceforge.net/
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=25407
They suit very well together. Clear, refreshing, not distracting, good usability. I often try other themes too but always go back to that combination (another Clearlooks colour theme that I like, is my own mix of gperfection2 and Olive colours, but it is still under construction...)

As for gPerfection icons, I think that the GNOME project should really replace their old icons with the much more refined gPerfection version of that icon set.

[Gustav]

I use the gartoon icon theme and lush for controls and window frame.

It looks great (ie less techie)!

[Jindro]

For me definitely Gartoon - just funny

[leveliv]

hi I dunno if anyone has said this yet I didnt really look but there's this one theme called

Automotive Red it is awesome!

[el3ktro]

I wonder if there's any really complete icon set out there? I love the Tango icons, but they lack most of the icons I need (Firefox, Thunderbird, Gaim ...). Currently I'm using Clearlooks-Graphite for GTK, Clearlooks Squared for Metacity and the NuoveXT icons because they are almost complete.

Tom

[Delvien]

gperfection icons. CONTROLS - Outcrop, WINDOW BORDER tish-milk

[curtis]

Clearlooks-cairo-industrial for controls
Unity for window borders
And a mix of ones for icons, mainly ones that have quiet a lot.

[ice60]

I love Water Vapor with AlphaCube Metacity borders.


that's easily my favourite too :-D


i like the MC-Sbaush icons (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=33707&PHPSESSID=8d68179749ac336dc1d9446b2abaebfa) too

and the theme i'm using now is Gray (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=34132&PHPSESSID=8d68179749ac336dc1d9446b2abaebfa) i like it

but my all-time favourite is Water Vapor (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=29656) controls with AlphaCube Metacity borders (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=29791&PHPSESSID=8d68179749ac336dc1d9446b2abaebfa) i think that's the same as nocturn said :confused:

oh, i really like System 3.1 (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=13628&PHPSESSID=9af4040537c5df16592fd1403a364d14) too.

[Briquet]

Clearlooks gOrangeous
Blendish
