I have tried to put in these colors in New Human, but the output was inconsistent since New Human is still a work in progress. I have therefore chosen - GTK - Human Murrine Metacity - X Colors Lite (don't rmr where I got this from. Probably from clearlooks colors or murrine colors from <a href="http://gnome-look.org" target="_blank">gnome-look.org</a>) Icons - Gion Fonts - Droid Sans The links below show a theme that is currently running on my box (Hardy). All I did was change a few colors. Do take a look at all the screenshots and let me know if you think this is a good direction to think about. Note that I have no idea whatsoever regarding UI or the colors that people like. Never touched Photoshop / Gimp and probably never will. However, the colors in this theme appealed to me. Let me know if they appeal to you too :) Active / Inactive Windows - with Desktop effects disabled ---- <a href="http://img375.imageshack.us/my.php?image=activeinactivedq5.png" target="_blank">http://img375.imageshack.us/my.php?image=activeinactivedq5.png</a> Appearance Preferences Dialog --- <a href="http://img375.imageshack.us/my.php?image=desktopappearancehk0.png" target="_blank">http://img375.imageshack.us/my.php?image=desktopappearancehk0.png</a> Menus -- <a href="http://img393.imageshack.us/my.php?image=desktopmenusph1.png" target="_blank">http://img393.imageshack.us/my.php?image=desktopmenusph1.png</a> Totem (showing the Quantum of Solace HD trailer) -- <a href="http://img79.imageshack.us/my.php?image=desktopqoslh0.png" target="_blank">http://img79.imageshack.us/my.php?image=desktopqoslh0.png</a> Firefox 3.0 showing <a href="http://news.google.com" target="_blank">news.google.com</a> -- <a href="http://img70.imageshack.us/my.php?image=firefoxds0.png" target="_blank">http://img70.imageshack.us/my.php?image=firefoxds0.png</a> Firefox 3.0 showing <a href="http://slashdot.org" target="_blank">slashdot.org</a> -- <a href="http://img363.imageshack.us/my.php?image=firefoxslashdotmo1.png" target="_blank">http://img363.imageshack.us/my.php?image=firefoxslashdotmo1.png</a> GEdit and preferences (can also see inactive/active windows with desktop effects enabled) -- <a href="http://img154.imageshack.us/my.php?image=geditjr5.png" target="_blank">http://img154.imageshack.us/my.php?image=geditjr5.png</a> Nautilus with sidebar -- <a href="http://img387.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nautilussidebarff1.png" target="_blank">http://img387.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nautilussidebarff1.png</a> Nautilus without sidebar (this is how I use Nautilus personally) -- <a href="http://img236.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nautiluswithoutsidebartd8.png" target="_blank">http://img236.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nautiluswithoutsidebartd8.png</a> RhythmBox -- <a href="http://img236.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rhythmboxtj9.png" target="_blank">http://img236.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rhythmboxtj9.png</a> Totem again and a folder of songs -- <a href="http://img55.imageshack.us/my.php?image=totemmusiciconssd6.png" target="_blank">http://img55.imageshack.us/my.php?image=totemmusiciconssd6.png</a> Desktop effects disabled again (menus, active and inactive windows) -- <a href="http://img70.imageshack.us/my.php?image=withoutcompizqh5.png" target="_blank">http://img70.imageshack.us/my.php?image=withoutcompizqh5.png</a> -- d-_-b </blockquote><div> I think this is nice! We should look in this direction for the fallback theme of the dark NewHuman instead of using again the same theme as in Hardy... <blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote"> screenshot - <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/cogneato/UbuntuRelated/photo#5217703878919813170" target="_blank">http://picasaweb.google.com/cogneato/UbuntuRelated/photo#5217703878919813170</a> Ashton</blockquote> <div>I think we should use this wallpaper!
