Description

The Dark Brushed-Metal Theme: DeLorean-Dark!
Development vers. for Gnome 3.5.* - 3.6 can be found HERE.

*Wall is 'Sexy Blue' by ShippD LINK.

This theme was spawned from DeLorean.
Includes:
  • Gtk2 theme

  • Gtk3 theme -includes theming for Nemo-file-manager

  • Metacity 2 & 3 themes

  • Gnome-Shell theme

  • Cinnamon theme 1.60

  • GDM3 theme

  • Xfwm4 theme

  • Openbox3 theme
Extras:
Fixes:
  • Ubuntu Software Center: Locate the Software-Center folder inside the delorean-dark* folder.
    First backup the original files.
    In terminal with root(administrator) privileges type the following:
    sudo cp /usr/share/software-center/ui/gtk3/css/softwarecenter.css /usr/share/software-center/ui/gtk3/css/softwarecenter.css.Original
    sudo cp /usr/share/software-center/ui/gtk3/art/stipple.png /usr/share/software-center/ui/gtk3/art/stipple.png.Original

    To copy the new theme files if you have installed delorean-dark theme in '/usr/share/themes/':
    sudo cp /usr/share/themes/delorean-dark/Software-Center/softwarecenter.css /usr/share/software-center/ui/gtk3/css/softwarecenter.css
    sudo cp /usr/share/themes/delorean-dark/Software-Center/stipple.png /usr/share/software-center/ui/gtk3/art/stipple.png

    * Or if you have the theme file in another location just 'cd' into the delorean-dark/Software-Center folder and type in terminal:
    sudo cp softwarecenter.css /usr/share/software-center/ui/gtk3/css/softwarecenter.css
    sudo cp stipple.png /usr/share/software-center/ui/gtk3/art/stipple.png

    *** the actual name of the delorean-dark theme folder may vary depending on what version you are using. Ie. delorean-dark delorean-dark-theme delorean-dark[development] etc. Make the necessary adjustment to the above code.

  • LinuxMint-13 and Window Animation: Should you experience problems with window opening and closing animation the fix is to remove the 'metacity-theme-3.xml' file from the included 'metacity-1' folder.

Requirements:
  • Gnome 3.4 *if you are using the Gnome Desktop

  • Gtk3-3.4*

  • gkt-engine-equinox-1.50

  • gtk-engine-murrine-0.98.1.1(or newer)

  • pixbuf-engine or the gtk(2)-engines package

  • gnome-themes-standard-3.4.*(provides the 'adwaita' theme)

  • gtk-engine-unico-1.0.2

Installation:
My themes can also be obtained from any of the following repository's. Installing from a repository has several advantages: you can install using your package manager; authenticity of the GPG signed files is automatically verified (under most cases); and you receive updates automatically when you update your system with your package manager.

Acknowledgment:
I would like to thank S. Mike Smith for the valuable insights, help, and alot of debugging. Not to mention the excellent app 'pygtk_colormixer' he created to 'Mix and Shade' color variables between gtk2 and gtk3. Thank You Mike!
Also he pointed out the importance of monitor color profiling. I hadn't realized the visual impact of having the correct gamma on my monitor. The difference it has made with the appearance of everything is amazing.

Gtk2 changed the Entry to dark-background with light text (I havent finished the changes for Gtk3's entry as of yet). - the entry colors change should help with LibreOffice. Firefox- finished its theming, now its on to work on Thunderbird's theme.
09-19-12: Thunderbird Theme completed and added to extra's!

Cinnamon's calendar theme is now matched with the Thunderbird themes calendar for smooth integration. Scale-Slider, temp fix to keep the slider from crashing when using Totem-movie-player. I removed the Unico styling for the sliders. I'll work on cleaning them up a bit more in the near furture. Added a fix to provide greater contrast in Firefox URL and Search bars for those that choose not to install the DeLorean-Dark-Firefox-Theme.

Cursor in Text-Entry color is now blue and twice as thick as before, changed in both Gtk2 and Gtk3. Scale-Slider is FIXED! I removed the Unico-engine from the scale-slider. The scale-slider looks as intended in the Gnome-3.6 version! Firefox-theme fixed the missing background image from the start-page.

10-02-12 -ver 1.48: Changed and cleaned up the TreeView-Headers. New Hover/Prelight states for Check and Radio Buttons. Cleaned up Linked-Buttons with better definition. As well as other fixes.
10-5-12 -ver 1.49 Ubuntu Software Center theme files added. To install see the README inside the delorean-dark/Software-Center folder. --Ubuntu keeps changing how the software-center is drawn. This should fix it. Fixed the background text in Text-Entrys(finally). Adjusted the Scale-Slider-Button in 3.4 version. Soon will adjust 3.6 vers.
10-14-12 -ver 1.50 Contacts app has been themed. The base color for gtk has been darkened.
10-16-12 -ver 1.52 Synaptic Package Manger, Fixed the Quick-Search-Entry field.
10-20-12 -ver 1.54
Menu-Items in Gtk's when hovered have been changed to match the gnome-shell look(light highlight when hovering over item).
Metacity, fixed the appearance of the buttons when placed on the right side of window(I had been very unhappy with the previous look, this is much better). Cleaned up buttons both right and left side. Changed the pressed color of the buttons and gave tham better definition.
Scrollbars, new scrollbars for both gtk2 and gtk3. I am much happier with these over the previous. Yes, they are kinda KDE retro looking, and I like em, and its much easier to determine the size/length of a scrolled-window with this style. This theme after all is a combining of retro and modern stylings!
Firefox & Thunderbird (for some reason it refuses to draw the scrollbars properly) Go to the Firefox-Theme Link page and follow the instructions for the Scrollbar-Fix.
10-21-12 -ver 1.55 Calendar in Gtk3 has been reworked and newly-themed.
