This version has been built on top of the 3.8 version the Adwaita Theme.
Wallpaper is Linescape by Tectix.
Icons are 'F-Dark Faenza'.
DeLorean-Dark-3.10 is designed to be sleek and less complicated than the previous 3.8-version; with its high polish and dramatic contrasts. 3.10's backdrop state resembles a pencil sketch, while its normal state sports multi-toned metallic surfaces.

CHANGELOG
3-10-2014 Â a lot of work on the backdrop state. Â
3-13-2014 many, many fixes and changes. Nemo-File-Browser is now themed. Only a couple items left to address for Gtk3, then move on to Gtk2.
3-16-2014  First BETA release! Fixes, Fixes, Fixes! Unity is now themed. Gtk3 is finished for now. Gtk2 will be in next update.
3-20-2014 Theming of Gtk2 has been completed. whew! There have been a few fixes for Gtk3 as well. The Panel for xfce/lxde still requires attention and Metacity and Mutter.Â
3-21-2014 Â Mutter is themed and finished for Gnome-Shell. Â Fixed the 'info' colors in gtk3. Â Still have Metacity2 for Ubuntu and the Panel to theme.
3-26-2014 Â Metacity(2) is themed. Â Xfwm4 is themed, I reworked the 3.6-version. Â Ubuntu-Software-Center is themed. Â Xfce-Notify is themed. Â Reworked the themes colors. Nautilus Tabs have had a lot of polishing as well as Nautilus-Search.
3-31-2014 Â Nautilus Toolbar, lots and lots of changes! Â I added more colors into the mix, not sure about how I like it yet. Â Feedback would be great! Â
The design removes some of the push-button images and leaves just the Icons instead. Â I think this makes nautilus easier to work with and cleaner in appearance. Â I am not a fan of the wall of multi-purpose push-buttons stretching the length of the window. I mixed things up. Â Hope its well recieved.
4-05-2014 Â Inputs/Entrys are newly designed to have better compatibility with 3rd-party apps. Â Epiphany is redesigned in similar fashion as Nautilus. Â I have added a Focused state to the Tabs in Epiphany. Â Gnome-Terminal the active tab is now the same color as the terminal-work-area. Â Also a hand-full of minor fixes throughout.
4-15-2014 Â First Stable Release. Â Fixed bug with unreadable text when renaming a file within Nautilus or Nemo. Â Most notable changes are the addition of both a Firefox and Thunderbird themes.
5-23-2014 Unity window manager theme is fixed, and Ubuntu centric fixes have been applied.

I believe I have made a workaround for this bug. At least in Gnome-Shell it works. Unfortunately the fix only works with 3.10, not for 3.8.

that will do the trick in Nautilus.

Chrome browser and highlighting doesn't work properly. Can you tell me how it fix?
1. It seems the text input fields are often gray in the theme, and unfortunately this carries over into my browser and text editor, making it difficult on occasion to read what I write. In hexchat (oddly enough) my input field gets a blue background. I can understand these may be a features and not a bugs, but could you explain which parameters need to be changed to undo this?
2. When I open nautilus and press search, the search field gets a baby-blue background which certainly doesn't fit the theme. Maybe you missed this spot?
3. In almost every way I prefer 3.10 to 3.8, but there are exceptions: I would like to have the background of nautilus be darker so that it has more contrast with the frame; at the moment it seems too similar to the lovely metalic texture.
Many thanks,
Ixxie
Cheers!

Every DeLorean theme Gnome bumb is different. I like to keep it fluid.
This theme looks better and better with every iteration!
Thanks again, glad you like it!
As far as extras included within the theme, Noobslab for Ubuntu removes them from their package.
The requirements are the least necessary. And listed as individual packages even if some distributions choose bundle them.
I hope this answers your questions. Please feel free to contact me if you require anything further.
Out of curiosity, what distribution are you looking to package for?
Cheers!
I haven encountered some "visual unpleasantness" in the new Firefox and Thunderbird themes, though. The themes were installed as per your instructions, yet I still use my previous profiles.
1. Firefox:
I use several add-ons with icons like the ebay sidebar. After installing your Firefox theme, the icons from the extensions are no longer displayed in the toolbar. The empty space is still visible (and click-able) in the toolbar, but the icon is just a grey-ish square.
(Just for the record, after removing the new css files from DeLorean theme, they are back.)
2. Thunderbird:
a) The toolbar icons consume - in my opinion - more vertical screen space than they should. Is it possible to move the small option list triangle (like with the Get Mail icon) back to the right side of the core icon? I have more than enough horizontal toolbar space available in my toolbar.
b) In the message list pane for a given mail folder, I use tag colours. Before, when tagging a message with a tag associated with - say - red colour, the message list would show the message subject date etc. in the font colour of the selected tag. Now, this font colouring dosn't work anymore. Is there a way to get this function back?
(And again for the records, removing the css files restored the previous apperance.)
Would you want/need any screenshots?
Cheers!
Cheers!
Only installed it today (happy with 3.8 to be fair lol), so nothing further but I'll keep looking haha
Not had much time to play yet but I'll keep you posted if i spot anything untoward
Thanks for pointing out the renaming issue, its the same in Nautilus. I'll get on that right away.
You like 3.8 better? I'm curious.
Speaking of dark, on websites like aur.archlinux.org/packages/ when the previously used search options come up they're black text on a dark grey background. You can read them but having white or a light grey text would be better IMHO.
I did fix the renaming bug! hooray ...LOL
Who da man?
YOU DA MAN!
haha
Seriously, nice work buddy.
1st. In delorean 3.8 in Cinnamon, the System Settings bottom area is too bright. Do you know anything about that?
2nd. Is there anything more I'll need to theme LXDE? This is a GTK+ theme, so I'll just need a panel image and an Icon theme right?
Thank you very much for making this...it's by far my favorite theme and is installed on all new Linux boxes I own
At the bottom of Cinnamon System Settings is a Toolbar designed to be at the top of a widget not the bottom. Unfortunatly there is nothing to be done about it. Sadly, its a design flaw.
LXDE, you are correct. The theme has a default panel and as per the Panel instructions on the DeLoreand-3.8 page; you can take advantage of 3 different panel-image designs that come with the theme. Or load your own. Select an Icon-theme and everything else should work fine.
Thank you, and I'm glad to here that you enjoy the theme!
Cheers!
it's me again
Since my last update to (delorean-dark-3.10 BETA_6.04052014-1) my thunderbird isn't readable anymore.
The list with the mails is so dark that the letters are not readable. (Like the problem with HexChat before). Did you changes something there?
Cheers FillFeile
Do exactly as you did before to open the 'gtkrc' file.
- Change hex-color from "#242424" to "#7b7b7b"
Save and close.Or you could wait for the next update
Cheers, and thank you for helping to improve the theme!
After changing the base value its ok again.
The tabs in Thunderbird are very white, maybe you can have a look at this.
Another thing in Firefox: Firefox changes the color of minor important parts of the URL, these are only hardly readable.
I think I fixed the problems with FF and tbird. Check out the new package.
Cheers!!
In regards to the theme, I will do as I always do. Cease work on 3.10 and move forward. My hope is to port most of 3.10 over and eventually have a polished finished theme. We will see...LOL!
I work with HexChat (hexchat.github.io/) very often. I don't know with type they use for their input field but the text I typed there is so dark that I can't read it.
Could you fix thiskillhellokitty I like your GTK-Theme very much and I also notived that it's still in beta, but there is one fact which makes it hard to use for me.
