Your theme is very nice but i ask you if there's a way to change that green colour i don't like...
(maybe it's easy and the question is stupid but i don't know how to do!) :)
Hi!
I love this themes so much I was very disappointed when I saw folders Tabs/ and Others/ are missing from the gtk-2 part of your theme. Would you mind adding them back please? files tabs.rc and gtkrc ask for them
Well, I am not sure. I think was newer one.
Here is a picture of my desktop with your theme, maybe can help you to find out if was the old or newer GTK 2x theme of Gray Revenge -> http://prikachi.com/images/798/5137798f.png
Ok that is the old theme. There should be a folder in it in which you can see the old themes and stuff, and instructions about how to reproduce them :)
Can you try to make your theme more elegant by redesign the background of Nautilus (also other programs) with the line (dark and light as in Ambiance/Adwaita Cupertino theme). I think your theme will be nicer if it will be polished as that. Thx so much!
Finaly a gtk3 theme that is pure elegance for every app.....I just say bravo & thank you.....my unity doesn't look like a fischerprice toy anymore.....way to go!!!!
I'm actually doing something different right now so I suppose that on this theme I will do only fixes. But if you want to do something by your own, just go to ~/.themes/GrayRevenge/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and change the value for "theme_selected_bg_color" with whatever you want. Then logout/login. Does this change the color?
mostly works...;)...but for insatnce the change isnt applied to skype or any gksu app...doesn't matter ...keep up the good work...and a blue selection pattern...;)
@+
For skype (gksu apps are not meant to use a theme) you have to go to ~/.themes/GrayRevenge/gtk-2.0/gtrc and change the value of "selected_bg_color:" (line #7) :)
I dont know why almost Gtk theme for Linux are dark color. It makes the monitor looks terrible in a working day. Microsoft uses glass or transparent, Apple likes gray/metal color. They looks elegant and comfortable with our eyes. It cannot be understood why Ubuntu make Ambiance theme. I love Ubuntu but it doesnt do anything to attract other users.

How stupid I am :) I didn't download the file, because I thought this theme is only for Ubuntu 12.04 or later. Thans a lot
I just want to ask you where can I found the old GTK 2.x theme of Gray Revenge? I looked all over the net I didn't found it. Great work by the way :)
Do you want the old version of the GTK2 theme or the newer one?

You can check the screenshot I uploaded. http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/8199/screenshotfrom201205092.png

Also light themes exist. And this is actually not a dark theme, but a mixture of dark and light. Gray revenge says all :)
