So I'm just messing around on alpha 4, and playing with the colors, I like this, It would be better if maybe I was using another theme engine besides murrina, but I think it looks rather nice.

Can't agree, sorry. I generally do not support dark themes.

I like dark themes, I have to say though looking at the screenshot from my desktop (screen was taken on my laptop) it looks totally different, on my laptop the brown isnt so loud..?
also i just used whatever icons

This theme isn't the worst I've seen. What you could try doing is make the orange and gold not as loud. Because the coppery brown you already have is loud enough and should be complemented with neutral or subtle colors, such as tan and beige.
So, keep the coppery brown, but lighten and slightly desaturate the orange color and lighten the gold text just a tad.
Oh, and try some fonts. You could make the most dazzling desktop theme ever, but by sticking with default fonts, it waters down the artistic effect.

I agree with what you said, but you must know that my laptop was dimmed which changed the colors, so pretty much I thought the main brown color was too loud too after seeing it on my desktop, it is perfect on a dimmed laptop, ok maybe not perfect.. but you get the overall idea
also i was just having fun with colors and thought it was good

It works with the background, but anything else and I'd have to say no. I use a modified darklooks, it works and doesn't play hell on my eyes when I first roll out of bed.

My Panels are white with some transparencies, and I wouldn't have it any other way. The desktop just looks so damn...clean...with white panels.

I read the words gold+brown, and had a nergasam.
I like brown.

It looks a little too reddish for my tastes.
I don't have a problem with brown, though!

I love brown wallpapers but it is really hard to find a really good brown theme

I like that one. I use darker themes, mixing gold, brown and orange.
Thanks for sharing :)

I don't think there's nearly enough contrast between the text and the background.

I like the Human theme with somewhat transparent bars.

You must be young. When you get old, like me, you need high contrst or it's hard to see. Brown and gold is not enough contrast for my old eyes.

I like it. Sort of like an Indiana Jones old stile theme. I like it. I hope you upload it.

I don't like it; too dark. I think Ubuntu should try and avoid over brown-ness, the orange is nice.
