This is the Peace GTK theme.

Goal

Simple, fast, elegant design, and above all easy on the eyes for users that sit at computers for hours at a time. The theme should be able to serve as a default for months or years by discerning users.

Engine

Currently I'm using the non-cairo Clearlooks engine for gtk+ as I've found it offers acceptable performance with a clean modern design. Peek at the attachment below to see some gtkperf tests I ran on an Nvidia Quatro P4 2.8 ghz system. Peace with clearlooks runs about 8% slower than the fastest theme I tested(Mist) which compares favorably to Human(only 1/2 as fast as Mist). Murine was added to the test results and scored middle of the road for Ubuntulooks themes.

I also attached a .deb of gtkperf for those that may be interested in further testing. attachment:gtkperf_0.40_i386.deb

attachment:widgetfactory2.png Lightened the color of the window borders on this version.

attachment:widgetfactory5.png Made the gray background more of a beige and removed much of the purple shading on the clearlooks buttons. Also made the prelighting a LOT brighter to show up clearly when hovering over buttons.
