Description:
This is a modified version of the original Dust Sand theme created by rico-ambiesc. You can find the original one here:
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Ubuntu+Dust?content=88790

I made changes to the metacity theme buttons. I also made changes to the scroll bar, modified the colors of the GTK theme slightly and added dotted line to the Listview state.

If you are using the PPA(https://launchpad.net/~kwwii/+archive to install the theme in Ubuntu run this (sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-murrine)command in a terminal window after updating your /etc/apt/sources.list file

Nothing has changed with the theme I just added a Desktop Wallpaper.
Last changelog:


The image for the screen handler
The close button on press
The contrast highlight for the menu,nautilus buttons and scrollbars
Shinny progress bar added.
The bottom of the windows in normal view(not maximized) are now rounded

----------------------------------------

Made some changes to the Metacity Theme.

----------------------------------------

I added different theme colors and fixed the MaCUltimate Leopard recognition upon install the theme. You can get the Dust Mac Color collection from here http://www.deviantart.com/download/105954426/Dust_Mac_Collection_by_spartan2276.gz

I love your theme, can you make a theme with colors similar to this: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Moondust?content=124578? I figured colors can't be changed completely. thanks

Hi, I love the theme and want to use it, but there is only one problem: When I have a program open, like GEdit or Firefox, which has a "File, Edit, etc..." menu bar, then it looks fine. But, as soon as something like Appearance or Software Centre is open, which has no menu bar, then there is a difference in colour between the Metacity decoration and the rest of the window. I have no knowledge of creating themes, so I wonder if that could be adjusted? So that no matter whether there is a menu bar or not, it always looks unified? Thanks! Etienne

Hello, I really like your work on this theme, but, because of my invariably focusing on details, I NEED to change the scrollbar colour, yes :) So I'll be able to sleep quietly... Could you tell me please how to do this, witch line do I have to change or add in gtkrc file ? Thanks already for reply, and sorry for my english, I'm not quite good, especially in vocabulary..

I'm sorry for responding so late to your comment but I've been busy: I created several colors: this is the blue color one: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/download.php?content=92681&id=6&tan=64883981 You can change the colors by going into the /home/<username>/.themes/Dust Mac/gtk-2.0/gtkrc open it with text editor or any other text editor and you will see a line that starts with "gtk_color_scheme" in this line you will see "nselected_bg_color:#4382DC" the color(#4382DC) could be any color you like as long as it is in this rgb format.

spartan2276

Yeah that dude is hilarious. Honestly most people don't like him but I think he's funny!

brainiac05

now thats he isnt the president anymore i can start to laugh about him too

frithwulf

He's still president until January 20. That said, this isn't the place for political commentary. Leave the politics out of this site, please.

sanjit

Nope. There are VERY FEW times and places where political discourse is actually inappropriate. People don't discuss politics enough, which is why the world sucks right now.
