[ubuntu-art] Graphite vs Heat theme

[Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen]

I've tried glossing up the Graphite-Heat theme to be a bit more silvery.
Basically - what I've done is to lighten menuitem preligts, lighten
buttons from the background.

I also lightened menu backgrounds a bit, to make them stand out
better[1], and played with a "contrast" switch I found in the
ubuntulooks engine (with only little effect though).

I'm not entirely happy with the result, but it has some qualities, so I
though I might share :-) I'm not sure that "glossy" was an original goal
of the graphite/heat themes anyway..?

I attached my gtkrc.

Cheers,
Mikkel

[1]: The danger of low contrast themes is to that stuff tend to blend
together... Perhaps I'm just old.

PS: I added a HeatedGraphite entry to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTeam/DapperTasks. It links to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTeam/HeatedGraphite (which I hope someone
will create soonish - hint hint).
