Firstly, I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum, please move if not :)
I've been trying to find this Gnome theme shown in the gallery for a few days now withought success, it looks like the 10.1b Suse theme, Chlorophyll, which I think looks fantastic. Here's a link to the screen in the gallery - http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/files/2/8/2/9/1/Screenshot-1_435772.jpg
I'm sure someone will know what it is, a link to the download location would be great also!
Thanks in advance :D

It is XGL and Compiz...unless you feel like working with an unstable xserver and window manager, you probably won't be grabbing that theme for a few months.

I dont think it's "XGL/Compiz" only, Suse 10.1 B3 ships with it as the default theme with no XGL or Compiz enabled/Setup. Sure you wont get all the effects but I'm almost 100% sure the basic theme is compatible.

Compiz doesn't even have a themes architecture yet and that's definitely compiz on the screenshot, so it can't be a compatible theme. Of course SuSE might use a (metacity-)theme which looks similar.

that's what I thought...that it's a metacity theme...should be in a suse rpm
I don't know to what degree past metacity themes are compat as far as the rounded corners are concerned, because the only screenshots I've seen are with this same theme, so maybe it's not metacity...I don't know :confused: I thought that was the purpose of the plugin/gconf...so that you can use compiz with other wm's.

looks like a kde-ish wallpaper, and why people run kwin in gnome with clearlooks is beyond me but I'm always amazed at what I see people using, so, yup, could be :p

I contacted the member who posted the snapshot and it is the suse theme, all you need to do is extract it from the suse rpm (install rpm+alien to do this) then pop the folder in your theme folder, which I've done and it works great!
Thanks for all the replies :-)

I used this mirror :- http://www.novell.com/linux/download/gnomes/i386/update_for_10_0/base.html
The rpms needed are,
gnome2-SuSE (theme)
gnome-themes (icons)
Just extract them then install the theme/icons as normal :-D
All the credit for finding out you can do this goes to the member darkmatter \\:D/
Enjoy the niceness!
