 * I think that this should be a pretty high priority. It is currently a nightmare to make a dark theme, especially when your color scheme clashes with app defaults (ex: dark window colors require light font colors obviously for contrast. But many apps/websites are light backgrounds, so you type white font onto a white background. Another random example - in VLC, the play/pause/etc buttons are black, and in a dark theme is nearly impossible to see the buttons.) -rd

Release Intrepid Ibex whit a dark-brown theme.

Concept

A lot of people want a dark theme on ubuntu, and I think that is a really good idea. The actually "human-theme" is very nice, but a lot of people like me n_n is finding something more. The screenshots are something I do with my desktop, under Ubuntu 8.04. The theme I use for that is "human-murrine", but I change all the default colors. The icons are, of course: Human icon theme, and the panel is my mod of Ebony-Panel. Maybe this can offer something for the designers.

  • This is really nice. Can you please attach the image? (Right now, only the screenshots are attached.) -Aantn
  • I like the wallpaper a lot, and dido for the theme, but they're both just slightly too dark. If you could lighten them up slightly, maybe just by adding some contrast, I think you'd have a fantastic theme on your hands.
