MurrinePixmap is GTK theme powered by a mixture of Murrine and Pixmap engines. Buttons, bars and selected menu items have a non-transparent glassy look so that, in spite of the Murrine transparency, their contents can be read easily (see the screenshots).
You need Bitstream Charter font for the panel.
For Murrine transparency, see http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/RGBA+Gtk++module?content=100556.
The corresponding Emerald theme is also included but to have smooth windows like in the screenshots, you might have to change its transparency values. It\'s made for gtk2-engines-murrine from Launchpad.
The icon theme is nouveGnome (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/nouveGnome?content=125474).
To add the Minimize button to the Emerald theme, go to Emerald Themer > Edit Themes > Titlebar and set "U:IT:NXC:Normal Layout" (without quotes) for Title-bar Object Layout -- although I see no use for it.
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”.
