Please leave comments, suggestions, or problems you may have before rating as I'm trying what I can to either implement ideas or fix problems.
This is my Equinox Leopard theme, based on the Equinox Engine 1.20 (which is required to use this theme), Mac OSX look, and the Aurura Leopard theme.
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Aurora+Leopard?content=128421
The file comes with EIGHT folders that must be extracted into your ~/.themes folder. Do not install them in your Appearance window.
The first folder is marked "Equinox Leopard 2" (the first version I developed was for the previous Equinox Engine). This was designed for those that use the standard version of Nautilus and all other applications without any modifications.
The second folder is marked "Equinox Elementary Leopard." This version was designed with the idea that those who use Elementary Nautilus without the menu bar and/or who also use gnome-globalmenu that the toolbar and title bar blend perfectly. Otherwise, the menu bar blends with the title bar and the toolbar looks raised, which is still a nice look (though this applies to those apps in which gnome-globalmenu cannot remove the menu bar).
The third one is a Metal version that is being worked on. This may or may not work for people, so let me know what you all think. It can work for both Standard and Elementary users.
The fourth and fifth folders are the dark themes for both Standard and Elementary users of my theme. A recolored Metacity accompanies these themes to blend perfectly.
The remaining three folders are graphite versions of the first three folders for those who wish to use them.
The non-metal themes and their graphite versions do not have a panel active for two reasons:
1. A panel background is also added to the file that is a see-through png file, both light and dark. Extract them where ever you wish, right-click on the panel, go to Properties, click on the Background tab, pick the third option, navigate to where the panel background is, and apply.
2. I want the user to use whatever background they wish. However, the original, non-transparent panel_bg.png files are still present. To use them, use gedit, go to either themes' gtkrc file in the gtk-2.0 folder, search for that file in the text, and remove "#" to uncomment it. Save and refresh the theme,
The theme still uses the default button arrangement on the right as there are those who prefer them there. To change to the left, press Alt+F2, type in gconf-editor, go to apps->metacity->general->button layout, and type "close,minimize,maximize:menu" to change them.
Metacity was also modified to be more similar to the colors of the buttons found on the Mac, as well as added a menu button. The graphite versions are grayed instead.
For those that want to know, the icons used is a mix of LaGaDesk-remix-II, MacUltimate Leopard, and Ubuntu-Mono-Light. I don't plan on releasing this blend until I'm more satisfied with the mixture.
An important note: OpenOffice and other psuedo-gtk apps may have issues concerning curved buttons. I'm working on figuring out how to remedy this problem.
