Thanks. A nice change from DarkRoom. The readability is a welcome improvement.

It’s my default theme, and I guess it will take a lot of effort from theme makers to convince me to change.
I’m using the Brave variant with Tango Icons, and it looks awesome.
In my laptop I have the orange version with the default Human icons and the Ibex wallpaper, and it looks beautiful.
That combination would be great for the next Ubuntu release (orange theme with Human icons and a similar wallpaper than the Ibex one).
That would match the new GDM and notifications theme, and would look elegant and polished.

I love the theme… i’m sing it a long time…

The only problem is that the gdm theme give a error…

No idea why…

to Geekboy:

If you ran the script, it installs the GDM themes too, but you have to select them yourself.

Is there a logon screen that matches this?

That’s a cool theme. I never really change Ubuntu’s default but I love this one. I just made the change and I’ll add the template to my work laptop.

Now to find a really cool background.

Damn this theme looks awesome! Anyone working on a .deb package or anything? I’ve been trying to learn to make .debs and use Ubuntu’s PPA and this would be a cool package to start with (if I get the time).

@lane lester
Perhaps it didn’t download the GDM’s correctly. One thing I have to fix, is that it will keep going regardless of wether the files downloaded correctly (because of deviantart downtimes, etc). One way to fix it is running the script a second time, or use the login preferences and select the GDM theme yourself.

Another thing to note, is that this script is only meant to run in ubuntu and will not run in any other distro.. in that case, you’ll just have to go to the gnome-look page and download the themes separately.

Thanks for the compliments! although I would never join any kind of art team since I rarely have time to deal with all the bureaucracy involved. All my artwork is open source, so if the leaders of any project want to use them they’re welcome to.
