So, yeah. I grabbed that ubuntu tiger wallpaper, and used it with the theme I made for XFCE (Xfce-dusk).. But the blue borders weren't cutting it, and I like the animated loading bar in clearlooks. :D
This theme is a combination of my XFCE-dusk, and Human-- However, the human color is darkened. This is a VERY DARK theme, and isn't recomended unless you like such, and have good eyes. :D
And if someone does like it, mirror fast, I'm losing my connection tommorow and don't know when I'll be able to host things again :O

Not much chocolate if you ask me... Charcoal would be more appropiate.

Should I brown out the pure blacks a bit? I agree it isn't very chocolate, but browning might make it kind of pooey if I don't do it just right. There aren't a lot of "cream" colors in the realm of black :P

Oh yeah. As for any dark theme, you need to restart firefox after applying, because it doesn't change the font colors appropriately with it's fake gtk bull :P

unless you are going for the 'flat' look, shouldn't the bg[PRELIGHT] be lighter than bg[NORMAL]?

Should I assume you are the one that posted a clearloks-devel about dark themes?
If so, take a look at this to see how to change those aspects.

notice I did not use the contrast option at all.
the screenie doesn't do it justice against the white background so download and install the theme to get the feel. It's not perfect, I just thought I'd give you some ideas, if interested.
