Artist's Comments

I think this makes a perfect glossy black theme that's sleek and powerful.
This theme, like most other dark themes, goes best with a vibrant and colourful background which makes everything stand out all the more.
If you want a copy of my background or backgrounds I've made like that one leave a comment, and if I get enough comments about it I may upload them to gnome-look.
Hope you enjoy, feel free to post me ideas or changes you would like made to the theme as it is still a work in progress.
If you prefered an older version of the theme which has features that no longer exist I may be able to send you a legacy version.

Note: The toolbar I'm using is a modified version of the one that comes with the theme, it is tailored to my screen size and needs which is why I didn't include it, if anybody wants a version don't hesitate to ask.

Now fixed the DeviantArt link and will only be supplying that link in the future. Once downloaded extract the .zip file and install the .tar.gz file as you usually would a theme.

Big thanks to all the creators of the themes listed below for letting me use their graphics and coding, if not by actively giving me permission by giving their work a GPL license (woo, go freedom)

This theme was originally based on the coding and graphics of BlueSpcae II:

The buttons for the Metacity Theme is from this emerald theme:

The rest of the graphics for the Metacity were slightly modified from these:

And of course not forgeting my favourite icon theme (so far :P) Azenis Icons:

I used the code for the text boxes from the UE 2.2 theme:

A FireFox theme which suits this style very well:

I used to use this icon theme but I've found a better one since then:
