Enjoy!

I don't like the theme, not at all...

It doesn't look unified at all but instead combines several colors and gradients to make it look like a mess. Titlebar has one color, text bar another and toolbar a third.

It's pretty good except that the images for window control does not make any sense

+1, this theme will be a lot better if you use only two different colors for these three parts.

Nice. Very nice in the screenshots. But strangely not at all like that on my setup. So I'll pass for now.

[alex.rayu]

Not really bad. But I like light themes.

[hessiess]

loose the white background.

No offense, but it looks like a retarded lovechild of Dust Sand and New Wave.

Feels very dull and looks like the it will be hard on the users eyes after as few hours of usage.

¡Nice! Professional, easy to the eyes with a 22" LCD (where bright themes are like a flashlight), but not too dark... i love it. Mix well with orange icons.

I think it is mostly rubbish, though there is one thing I really like (see attached image).

Why is it rubbish?
It is almost the same as the Dust theme. It is like Dust + A new stylish window border. You should try to make something new, as your stylish window border!

[Ataris]

Not to repeat what my fellow users have said already, which I am anyway, I highly dislike this.

I mean, seriously, we went from Dust to this? In my opinion it seems as if the community just decided to start over and make some theme for lack of anything better to do, rather than actually improve on a theme that almost everyone liked, such as Dust.

The colors are no longer uniform, there are colors in strange places, the text highlights look awkward--it's almost as if someone just took Dust, changed a lot of the colors and gradients just to make it look different, and then added a Metacity that, all in all, is very confusing. It's just three circles, and the maximize button is biggest when in most cases the exit button is the biggest button.

Not to rant, which I probably did anyway, but it seems to me like a fairly impractical theme, and even less Ubuntu that Dust was.

i dont know dust that well, but i like this theme,
i like it how you used three colors.

I don't understand all this harsh reception. I like the theme colors, well, I like dark themes.

[Ataris]

It's not a terrible theme, but it's certainly not one of the best ones out there. There are plenty of better dark themes I've seen before, such as ShikiColors, Dust, and New Wave as some of the more popular ones. To me, this theme just doesn't compete with them.

[primski]

great theme. it really captures the best from dark themes and maintains visibility and readability. my new favourite theme. Do you have the login screen themed up also ? I'd love to use it there too.

[chris00]

Excellent theme. Not sure what all the negative comments are about. I really like the simplicity. I get very tired of all the "3D"-type themes where buttons are drawn as if they stick up out of the screen (Windows 3.1 style) so I really like the areas where you have flattened out the controls, eg. the scroll bars and the general window border.

Finally we have some very nice icons for minimize, maximize and close, my only complaint would be the red, green and yellow highlights. Why not just highlight with white?

Final comment: Sometimes the different greys can look a bit confusing, eg. menu bar dark grey, menus in black, highlights in light grey... Perhaps a uniform grey would be better?

Anyway, great theme. Also looks good with a light wallpaper.

[dyltman]

Looks cool, I think it would look better if the dark colour had a tint of brown aswell.

[HoboElectus]

Ugly.

[durand]

Like most of it except for the grey gradients.
