Lucidity

Lucidity is a GTK theme based on this mockup (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Lucidity?content=119885).

The GTK theme is based off Lucidity by Isaiah Heyer and the criticism it received. Differences include rounded tooltips, higher contrast and other tweaks/improvements.

Metacity theme uses buttons from Lucidity metacity theme by Isaiah Heyer, but a code base from other themes I am working on because that code was rather messy and hard to work with.

How to install?

· Right click on your desktop and select Change Desktop Background
· Click on the first tab: Theme
· Drag and drop the theme's archive in the Appearance Preferences window.
· If everything is OK, you will receive a confirmation message and you can activate the theme just by clicking on it.

About GNOME:

GNOME is an international effort to build a complete desktop environment—the graphical user interface which sits on top of a computer operating system—entirely from free software. This goal includes creating software development frameworks, selecting application software for the desktop, and working on the programs which manage application launching, file handling, and window and task management.

GNOME is part of the GNU Project and can be used with various Unix-like operating systems, most notably Linux, and as part of Java Desktop System in Solaris.

The name originally stood for GNU Network Object Model Environment, though this acronym is deprecated. The GNOME project puts heavy emphasis on simplicity, usability, and making things “just work”.

What is new in this release:

• Now includes a gtk3 theme and will work with latest Unity.

What is new in version 2.4:

• Icons done in all sizes, removed some monochromes to favour a more colourful desktop, plus lots of tweaks and fixes to the look and feel. Chrome is now properly themed so you can use the GTK theme setting in Chrome or the Chrome theme, your choice. The Squared version of the theme is now available via an installation option rather than as a separate theme.

What is new in version 2.4b:

• Fixed restore icon and added an option to theme Unity.

What is new in version 2.3.2:

• Subtle improvement to look of unfocused metacity windows. Changed separator style to smooth. Removed gradient and shadows on toolbars, menubar and etc to agree with more apps and for a much smoother appearance. Cleaned up the look of Nautilus.

What is new in version 2.3:

• Unfocused windows in Metacity have a completely sunken appearance so that which window is focused is more noticeable. Added variations - Lucidity-Squared, Lucidity-Dark and Lucidity-Dark-Sqaured. Lucidity-Left and Lucidity-Right metathemes no longer exist; deprecated by configure script found in Lucidity theme's folder and the new variant metathemes.

What is new in version 1.4:

• Rounded the buttons and sliders and added a bit more rounding to the other elements as well. Metacity theme is now a bit shorter and the button colours and effects have been enhanced to make them more noticeable and interactive. (Reuploaded: Metacity theme update was not complete.)

What is new in version 1.3.3:

• Adjusted the contrast of all the elements to match that of the monochrome icons in ubuntu-mono-light; effectively tightening the colour scheme and giving the theme a more solid look.

What is new in version 1.3.2:

• Improved the look of the new restore button and the look of all the unfocused buttons.

What is new in version 1.3.1:

• Repacked forgotten metathemes which now do not include the menu icon by default to fit with the Ubuntu Lucid look.

Requirements:

• gtk+
• GNOME
