Hello, thanks for your great work.
It looks very nice.
Since I'm new in Ubuntu (was using mac before), I'm still trying to figure out how to include the different icon sets to gruenstich.

Hi. Great theme. One of the few that's really elegant.
Just 2 problems. First, the theme keeps freezing up my whole UI when I open a menu in the main Ubuntu menu.
Second, the background for the top gnome panel looks messed up. The main background image is several pixels too short for the bar, but the theme prevents me from reducing the hight. The height behind some panel widgets (the Ubuntu menu and the user switcher/logout widget) is better, but I still get a white line across the bottom.
These problems don't seem to be just my machine because I've had them on three different machines now. My setup is:
Ubuntu 9.10 AMD64 (although also happens on 386)
Quad-core with 8G memory (so shouldn't be a resources problem)
GeForce 7900 512M
newest Murrine and Aurora engines from PPA
Thanks for any help. I want to use this great theme!
thx :)
well, now to your probs
the first one:
open the gtkrc inside the theme folder. there´s a line a the beginning: "icon sizes"...change the menu entry to 16,16 or what you want
scaling down to 0,0 brings problems on some computers
the second prob:
open the panel folder and resize the panel background image to the size of your panel
the panel is pixbased so that´s the only way to fit it to panel size
i hope, this will solve your probs, if not, plz tell me
Thanks for the quick response. Changing the gtkrc did fix the freezing menus. I'm still having trouble, though, with the panel size. I understand how to resize the panel background image. The problem is that I want to make the panel height smaller and for some reason I can't when this theme is enabled. When I open the "options" dialogue for the gnome panel I just can't reduce the height from 26px. The down arrow is greyed out and unresponsive. Is a minimum height specified somewhere in the gtkrc or something?
Thank you for your works : sublime !!!
I added your theme in the french ubuntu wiki.
Hope you will propose a good pack with icones ( and the configuration for avant window navigator ) or a just small tutorial. :)
Got a suggestion : here is skin for xmms/audacious (winamp ) in the same design : http://veroka.deviantart.com/art/Cup-of-tea-pack-38143391
and this soundpack : http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Dream?content=75398
thx a lot
i just want to fix some bugs, than i want to create a full pack with 4 or 5 color versions, blue included
but you can change it really easy by yourself
go to the theme folder and recolor the active tab pixmap with gimp
than change the green in appearance settings, tab "colors" to a blue of your choice...that´s all ;)
but, about openbox theme...i´m sorry, i don´t use openbox and i´m not reall well in obox theming :(
maybe someone who reads this, is able to create a obox theme???
Very Good!!
The wallpaper it`s perfect! The start buton with a peach... lol!
so, may you post the icon theme in the gnome-look?
(or could you send the icon theme for my email too? - kastrosasturbal@hotmail.com)
Tx a lot!
I register for this comment,wanna tell u it's fantastic, really great job :D
but seems I am not very good at setting this theme well (new user on linux)..:p especially mixing those icons..
And I notice there're no icons displaying in ubuntu menu? it's original design or because of wrong icon pack?
Finally,would u please send me or share the icon pack:D it'll be apprciated
nick9090@msn.com
the look is part of the theme
but you have to include some css to your userchrome.css
i included my userchrome file to the pack now, with a short readme

Are your icons part of the theme? Good work.
it´s just a mix of some icon themes...if you want, i can send them via email
If its not being cheeky would you mind also sending them to me? It such a good mix. My E-mails... jameshardy1988@hotmail.com
did you got my mail? cause it´s very large :) (it was too large for one of my providers lol)
Yes thankyou very much for sending them to me, they go so well with your theme =)
Please do send them to me. I just sent you my email address. Thanks
joplass@yahoo.com Thank you,
How did you get your tabs to look like that in Firefox?
the look is part of the theme but you have to include some css to your userchrome.css i included my userchrome file to the pack now, with a short readme
Ah, I see what it does. You ought to upload that to userstyles.org.
