Nice theme. How did you get the dash all in one panel with the clock? Manual resize and placement or an extension?

Nevermind... it is the dash-to-dock extension.

Very good. I have two requests: 1) It seems that applying the theme changes my wallpaper to blank white. Can that not be the case? 2) Granted that BeOS had yellow title bars, some of us might love the theme, but want a different title bar color. Can you provide versions of the theme with alternate color title bars? Perhaps at least dark blue, and maybe the same shade of grey as the UI? (#D8D8D8)

1) Is the theme installer in ~/.themes? What's your desktop and GTK version?
2) I'll make a variant with gray instead of yellow as titlebar color, maybe blue will come later on.

Thanks for the response. I typically install themes globally, as would be the case installing from a .deb package. That puts them in /usr/share/themes . I also make sure to do a recursive chown -R root:root and chmod -R 755 on the theme, as would also be the case for globally installing from a package. I've had issues in the past with root level GUIs like Synaptic for stuff installed to locally to ~/.themes, though this wouldn't be a problem with Wayland since it makes root-level GUIs illegal. I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 (standard version is Gnome since they dropped their Unity desktop). GTK version is 3.22.

Ubuntu 18.04 3.22? I have GTK 3.28 on 18.04

They made things a bit confusing with all the version numbers. 3.28, the latest version of Gnome, uses the latest version of GTK which is 3.22. Those are the versions that the Ubuntu 18.04 is using.
