Chaos (GTK2) updated. Finally found a way to keep the gradient on toolbars so there will be no problem most of the time with the background of the Nautilus throbber and the % of font size.
All Afterhours (GTK2) themes are also updated : active text is now white, enhanced spin arrows, slightly more rounded progress bars, redesigned insensitive sliders and steppers so they should look nicer with GTK 2.10.

january 09th, 2007 :
Happy New Year to all Linux users and everyone !
I have not been very active on the themeing side last year but the beginning of 2007 is very different.
First of all, I decided to finish a Gtk theme I started many months ago, you know it is called Zen if you have seen it on G.L.O. After a series of beta versions, it hit version 1 two days ago after having solved annoying issues. The theme is mainly grey with a few coloured widgets that can be chosen from a configure script. Billy Cantrell (bvc) provided a Metacity theme to go along based on his Clear-alternative-wide theme, Thank you Billy !
Given these issues fixed, I decided to upgrade a bunch of older themes such as Brushed, Blueheart, Dogmastik, Pharago, Gnursid, Serenity, Phenix, Clarity, Neutrino and Gonxical for now ! I am not sure I will upgrade all my themes, at least those posted on A.G.O. & G.L.O., so if you use any other themes, let me know, I will update them.
Last but not least, I designed a brand new Gtk theme very quickly yesterday named Afterhours. It looks very nice with the Tango icon set.
may 28th, 2006 :
- Updated Reminiscence / Luminescence / Obsolescence : fixed handles orientation, changed insensitive text colour.
- Updated sedation : slightly modified trough, added support for more states for scrollbars / arrows, modified option menus / combobox, modified progressbar border, modified tab extensions.
- Updated BlueHeart : fixed handles orientation, changed insensitive text colour, modified spin-arrow background.
- Updated Pharago : fixed handles orientation, changed insensitive text colour, added an alternative menubar (looks better with blended window deco. themes).
- Updated Debian-GTK : fixed handles orientation.
- Updated Dogmastik : fixed handles orientation.
may 24th, 2006 :
Currently using my old Resminiscence GTK2 theme, so I decided to update a few details.
Meanwhile I decided to do two variations of the theme, one more yellow Luminescence and a more classic grey one Obsolescence. This latter one is very similar to my old klassik that I decided to deleted (truely obsolete!).
Also finally finished to update Debian-GTK which was pending for so much time.
january 16th, 2006 :
New release for Brushed. Removed options for tabs, added 2 alternative button set to choose from.
december 20th, 2005 :
New release for Brushed. This release includes the tabs and the Metacity theme from BrushedC by Andrea Cimitan as wished.
The archive now contains a script (bash/zenity) to configure the different options available for the tabs, progress bar and Metacity themes (script written by leloxias).
Install the theme as usual. To change the options, launch "configure" located at the root of the theme folder (~/.themes/Brushed/configure), a preview of the options helps you to choose the options (see screenshot).
december 17th, 2005 :
- New Metacity theme Brushed : designed to match the GTK2 theme of the same name. This theme is entirely based on T-ish brushed by Toni Milovan.
- Update for Brushed, changelog : added an alternative gtkrc config file to support a progress bar à la Clearlooks (from leloxias's wish), increased the saturation of the active extension tabs to distinguish them more easily from the inactive ones, improved configuration for option menu / combobox and changed the colour of the default button. Also added support for more insensitive widgets.
december 14th, 2005 :
Update for apple-brushed, now simply renamed Brushed and posted it to gnome-look.org given its popularity here and to avoid multiple instances of the same theme that may not be up to date.
Changelog : new entry box using rounded corners, new tabs (suggestion by cimi4fun@hotmail.com), fixed the bug related to the wrong background colour and other minor changes.

july 4th, 2005 :
New theme : Phenix for GTK2 and Metacity.
Some people asked me to port mozilla-modern-2 to GTK2. It is not a bad idea, but the problem is that it is not possible to have a nice toolbar with a gradiant because some applications look odd. Have a look at the screenshot of the 'chaos' theme to see what I mean. Even so, I started a port that would look a bit different from the original.
While I was porting the theme, I realized I didn't like the colours of mozilla-modern anymore. I rather prefer the colours from Netscape8, so I used something similar.
I ended up with a new theme, hoping you will enjoy it !

Updated Neutrino for GTK2.
march 21, 2005 :

january 10, 2005 :
First of all, happy new year !
Here are the last updates :

- Updated Gnursid : scrollbars are green/olive now for better constrast ! it is more usable this way. Also added separate Metacity and GTK2 themes in their respective sections.

- Added small screenshots for Gnursid and Blursid, full screenshots for Gnursid and LiteBlu.
