G6

G6 is a GTK theme set created for the GNOME 2.x desktop environment and for the Xfce 4.x desktop environment.

Theme contains:

- GTK 2.x Theme
- Metacity Theme
- Xfwm4 Theme

G6 is a heavy modified "Smooth" theme, that I created long time ago (now obsolete...).

All images attached to this G6 theme set are hand drawn from scratch.

Developer comments

Metacity theme is prepared to left-side buttons arrangement in that order: "Close", "Maximize", "Minimize" - for ergonomics and by referring to primary colors: "RED", "GREEN" and "BLUE".

To set this desired arrangement, run the Terminal program from the System Menu, copy this command line:

gconftool-2 --set '/apps/metacity/general/button_layout' --type string 'close,maximize,minimize:' &

and paste it into Terminal. Confirm by "Enter" button. This will set the Metacity Window Manager into desired buttons layout (RGB).

The Xfwm4 Window Manager theme does not require any button positioning, but for nice looking of the maximized window border display, you have to change this:

System Menu -> Settings -> Window Manager -> the "availability" bookmark

- set the "hide borders of maximized windows" as "off".

Extended instructions are included into theme archive.

What is new in this release:

• transparent entry instead of colorized -> this will remove white squares from the inside (when inactive)

Requirements:

• GNOME
• gtk+
