Description: This is the first complete release of my dark theme, Smoked Glass. It now includes a GTK And a Metacity theme.
I'm still looking for a good icon set if anyone has suggestions.Last changelog:
0.9.5 ----- -Bugfix: -Corrects inactive, shaded titles in metacity -Corrects prelight color problem found by bvc.
A new metacity theme with different min, max, and close buttons will be released in the next day or so.
0.9 --- -Metacity theme added -Various small tweaks to the GTK theme.
0.4 --- -Left, right, and bottom tabs now work properly (tested in Bluefish). -Various color tweaks for fonts -Prelights for most items, though they are suble and will probably be made more obvious.
Very nice theme. The dark blue complements the Black-Red icon theme nicely, and I highly recommend it as an icon set.

I love it! It is my favorite!
Of course some issue with Firefox...
(I'm using a custom userContent.css...)
And still some Apps show black text on the dark button (Ubuntu Software Center Install and other buttons)
I am using the buuf-deuce icons with it...
AND I LOVE IT!!! TRIED MANY OTHER DARK THEMES THIS IS THE BEST BABY!!!
Thanks a lot to the author!
Hi thankyou for a very nice, professional new theme. By way of suggestion if you ever feel like remixing it i would love to see a shade of orange substituted for the blue to give it a ubuntu feel.Thanks again

What you all could do is what i did,
simply get the HumanAzul2 icon theme.
With the Smoked Glass theme up and running you go:
Smoked Glass >> Adjust >>> Icons and select the HumazAzu2 iconset.
And final,you save the whole edited Smoked Glass theme with the icons and all. This is what i did and it worked.
Here is the link for the icons: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=37099
On this theme, most of my text boxes are black with a dark colored font...same with dialog boxes. Can you change the font color to a lighter shade so I can actually read them?
There are only a couple of points that i will make. First, could you please make/find better icons that suit the theme. It is beautiful, but i think that the icons let it down slightly and i am unable to find one that suits it perfectly.
Last: on a couple of website (www.vodafone.ie is the only one i can think of at the moment) the text box appears in black and so does the text. For anything to be seen, it has to be highlighted. I will put up with that as this is such a good theme but i would appreciate it if you could look into that.
Thanks again for a great theme.
i just get a solid dark-blue colour for toolbars, buttons, widgets, and controls, unlike the blue gradient in the screenshot. i am using gnome theme-manager in ubuntu edgy. the rest of it works, like the window borders, colours, panel background, etc.

Linux Mint said, this theme needs icons "Industrial". Would you like to give link to the right icons?
¿como lo descargo? donde esta el link
I know this theme is pretty old, but it's still my favorite. Any chance of getting it updated to Gtk3? Evolution is butt-ugly.

Slyd also works well as a matching icon theme, and has better coverage of all the icons than Black-Red.

I use the UbuntuStudio Icon theme with it
Have you looked into the Azenis icon set? I think it would work well. just give credit where credit is due obviously
Its only very small but when you have a inactive maximised window it gets a small white line in the top left corner of its metacity theme
I love this theme... here is a fix for it... on metacity file: metacity-theme-1.xml original: <draw_ops name="draw_title_tile_inactive_normal_maximized"> <image filename="max-inactive.png" x="0" y="0" width="object_width" height="height" /> <image filename="title-inactive.png" fill_type="tile" x="9" y="0" width="width " height="height"/> <image filename="max-inactive.png" x="width - object_width" y="0" width="object_width" height="height"/> </draw_ops> change: <draw_ops name="draw_title_tile_inactive_normal_maximized"> <image filename="title-inactive.png" fill_type="tile" x="0" y="0" width="width " height="height"/> </draw_ops>

nice theme - too bad it's basically unusable because it turns browser text boxes black with dark text so you can't read anything. nice try, though.
Great theme.
My Favorite Black Theme :)
if u know what background this is/how to get it please reply

I love this theme... but what I don't love is how it shades some form backgrounds black on webpages (like gmail) in firefox, and on gaim as well.

I've found the glass icons icon theme set REALLY looks good with this one.
fair enough, but i would prefer if they had a bit of a dark blue tint to them. They seem a bit stark against the dark background for me.
