[ubuntu-studio-devel] Link to gtk3.14 port of modded version of old 2008 GTK theme

[lukefromdc at hushmail.com]

I found out today that archive.org accepts software, so I uploaded a copy of the
theme package I have been playing with to them. It depends on Gtk3.14 but
if people want I can backport it to Gtk3.12 with or without also reverting the
blue-green color change that I have also used since 2008.

This is a rough debian package, feel free to open it up and poke around the 
files, install and try it, or both.  I've got literally six months of work in this,
fortunately GNOME has never thrown a change at me that took more than 
a few days to figure out when Gtk3 changes  (again) each time around.

My signature blue-green can be reverted to the original blue by changing two
entries in the Gtk2 and gtk3 color patterns at the top of the files, and then
remaking the image files used for Gtk3 selected menu items and checkboxes.
Those are simply screenshots of what Murrine does in Gtk2. The radio buttons
would simply get a blue ring pasted over the blue-green ones, they are used 
in both the Gtk2 and Gtk 3 themes.

This version is the last one that never uses a transparent base window so it can
look good with a non-compositing window manager.  I am now seeking to make
the panel in MATE compiled with Gtk3 give transparent "GNOME style" black 
menus like i've used in cairo-dock, but without having to run cairo-dock and
heavy up the DE.  

So far I have been able to do this for the main menu but not for the panel right
click menus nor the tray applet menus without making global changes that would
affect popup menus in everything else.

My final goal for this is to duplicate all of the look I had in Cinnamon without
having to run Cinnamon or even cairo-dock, assuming I can find ways to theme
all of the necessary MATE-gtk3 items themselves with the Gtk3 css files. This was 
quite impossible in Gtk2, might still be for the tray applet menus unless I can 
find their exact widget heirarchy and it is distinguishable from such menus called
by anythng else.

There are no MATE gtk3 packages in Ubuntu yet, I borrowed some files from Arch 
and compiled the rest myself.
