Wallpaper included, look in ~/.themes/Tropic after installation. It has a 3 at the end because this was my 3rd different wallpaper idea for the theme. It is a green mod to the Xubuntu wallpaper...
Inspiration
I heard over the mailing list that Human and Tangerine were going to be staying for 6.10, so I had to rethink my plan a little. Even though I reworked some of the Human icons into my new Frozen color scheme, that would be useless since we're keeping the current icons. So I needed 2 colors that not only went together nicely, but also worked well with the icons. My inspiration came from a very weird source...the front of my Network Router! It's Silver, and the lights are Green and Yellow!
If Orange, Silver, and Green looked good on a Router, it would be perfect on a desktop!
This idea also allows us to keep the current icons and branding, since they have Orange in them already, and since Orange is one of the 3 major colors, it's perfect!
The Pallete
Tropic Green: #39EB3C
Tropic Orange: #FFA600
Tropic Silver: #EDEDED
The GTK Theme
I originally used the gFlat engine, but today I decided to use Ubuntulooks as the engine. It does make it look better in some places, and I like that! Green tabs anyone?
The Metacity Theme
Okay, so it isn't Gilouche anymore...instead it's my modification of Dark-Vidal (which looked alot like the XFCE 4.4 theme ala Xubuntu) to be more like the real thing. Kinda looks like Ubuntulooks a little actually!
Icons
Tangerine, but with a twist, some of the icons will be modified. Most of the changes are color adjustments, but the major change will be new folders.
