You know how it is ... can't leave well enough alone. :)

In this version I adjusted all of the colors in an attempt to add more love and harmony. Adjustments included changing the base background from gray to a light warm brown tint and adding button highlighting.

See screen shots for other refinements.

To test drive.

Enjoy!

Note on fonts: I found the DejaVu font to work the best on my system. It provides consistency amoung all my apps including Open Office that I lose with the default Sans font.

BTW, the color depth of my computer is set to 24 and I am unsure how this theme my look at other color depths. If the colors go crazy this is probably the reason.

Using this theme, caused Azureus to crash. I don't know why.

I don't use Azureus so I didn't test against that package.

As the bulk of the refinements are color it's had to say what the issue may be.

Sorry :(
