green gnome

[meborc]

hi all...

i was reading about the latest 2.18 gnome... and as i was lookin at the official screenshot, i fell in love - http://www.gnome.org/start/2.18/notes/en/

is there a green theme to match? i really like the brown,orange,red thing... but green would be a nice little improvement for my spring desktop

any ideas?

go to gnome-look.org and type in words such as "lime", "green", or "olive" into the search engine. then select the gtk-2.0 themes. at the moment, i'm using murrina-olive. that matches reasonably well.

thanks... i have been to gnome-look, but what i'm looking for is a really simple gnome theme (without murrine engine)... i'll keep on looking though

i'm not too sure what you mean by "simple". you say that you don't want to use the murrine theme engine, so what engines do you want the theme that you're ideally looking for to be based on?
here are a few screenshots with various themes highlighted:

screenshot 1:
gtk theme: Rainbow Colours Green Mid (my own theme)
metacity: candido-selected
icons: g-flat

screenshot 2:
gtk: vicious apple
metacity: candido-selected
icons: snowish

screenshot 3:
gtk: ubuntulooks-olive
metacity: ubuntulooks-metacity
icons: Human ultra green



do none of them appeal to you?

It is a little bit of work, but you can take the normal theme and export it to your desk top. One at a time, open an icon in GIMP and got to Tool/Color Tool/Hue-saturation. Mess with the Hue link until it is the green you like. Remember the number on the right and you can just type that number into the rest of the icons. once you are done with all of them, open the zipped file and replace the folder inside with the exported folder with your new icons. When you do it yourself, you will be customizing at the highest level, so you know each is just what you want.

what icon themes would you be referring to there?

don't forget to mention what gtk and beryl theme that you're using.....otherwise a screenshot alone is no help to the OP.
