Description:

A dark (black & white) theme for gnome desktop.
Thanks to Gnome Fanatic for the name!

I just recieved mail being told this
theme is the default in PCLOS Gnome 2008 !

More info and download here: http://linuxgator.org/

suggestions very welcome!

PLS! tell me what you think!

!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!!

To install:
1.Download the file to your desktop
2.Right click the file and select extract here, then another archive pops up,do
the same for that.
3.open a terminal and run these commands:

first
sudo cp -r $HOME/Desktop/SlicknesS /usr/share/themes

second (this one fixes firefox,don't need this for ff3, only 2 This fix is made by user twrock, so if he wants me to delete it i will)
cp /usr/share/themes/SlicknesS/userChrome.css $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/chrome

4.Open the theme manager, you can now
see the SlicknesS theme as a theme,
when you click on it , it suggests
taners amazing wallpaper he made for this theme!!

http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/black-white+2+Style?content=72619

any problems with the install let me know!!!!

One REALLY HUGE thank you to artist Taner
for his fantastic wallpaper!




Changelog:

2.2.2 probably the last update, this should
fix the message of an engine "" not installed
I can't try it myself if it works (since I don't have
gnome installed) so if anyone would be kind
to let me know if it works, it would be kind :)
This will probably be my last fix as I'm not on
gnome anymore.

2.2.1 Fixed my previous F**kup. (at least I hope so)
(it's been tested on ubunut 7.10). If anyone still
has any kind of problem please be so kind and let me

Glad you like the menu button!

I use a window manager called "compiz-fusion"
that gives me possibility of transparent
panels, windows, menus.... pretty much everything :D

I am working on a gold version at the moment,
when I have time I will try to do a darker
version too :)

It's very good you posted on debian-admin,
since many new linux (gnome) users don't know how to change the look of the panel!

I am very happy you like my theme!

//Robert

No problem mate. Compiz/Beryl works like crap for me. Since I have an legacy video card. I realy like it.

Could you make 2 extra things for me:
Transparent .png image of the menu-panel and an transperant menu-button.

Transperancy should be the best arround 75% ~ 85%

With the latest engine for metacity and gnome. You can use transperant images aswell. It does not require a high resource eating engine such as beryl or compiz. To make things transperant.

Its an alternative way =)

Oye Roby,

Its the same mate, just to be sure, I downloaded and applied the latest version and its still the same.

http://www.imgx.org/public/view/4285

Just so you could know, I'm trying this on a Linux Mint 4 live! cd. One more thing I should mention is, the theme doesn't install by the default tar file it downloads. I have to apply the tar within this tar file. Is this by design like this or should it apply from the base tar itself?

Ah GREAT!! you're working on the Golden-Black :D

Waiting eagerly, take your time :P

I feel your pain about compiz not working for you! :(

I included transparent button and panelbackground
for you in the package (it was a so minor change I didn't
feel the need to announce updated)

I might be wrong but without compiz
you only get the panel composited to desktop
wallpaper, so if you for example drag a
window behind the panel it wont show
(it will if using compiz)

whatever... I might be wrong :)

As for this not working right with mint
I don't understand , since mint is based
on ubuntu, did some of the previous versions of the theme work for you with
those specifik settings?
and be sure to have latest version of pixmap engine.

I am working on golden version yes but
going reeaaaallly slooooow (I don't know
, I can't seem to get it to look the way
I want)

Doesnt work properly...
Ive done some research along with VMware to Windows XP. And ran some photoshop batch scripts. To make em all on 75% transperancy. Dit not work proper. It became white.

I gues I have to find an other solution for this. Ill make a guide when i found a solution.

I'm not sure what you mean now,
you mean you are trying to get transparent
panel on windows xp?

If you mean gnome then yes, it becomes white if I make transparent panel and use
it in the gtkrc file.

you can see some parts of the panel in the
picture is still not transparent,
you can tamper with the panel.rc file
and try to uncomment some lines there
since you have manually selected the transparent panel background in the panel properties (not sure but I assume so)
then it's pretty safe to uncomment the
parts where it says class "something" style "something"...
well, I don't know , I could try something
myself if you want me to?

anyway , good luck on your research!!

//Robert

I am an windows hate machine. Since I always get key logged and lose my access to my favorite porn sites ;)

Ive tried to mess around with the "gtkrc" and the "panel.rc" nothing gets transparent. So i am wondering what does make it transparent.

I know transparent images does the job. Ive converted all the images in the panel directory to 75% opacity.

Ported back to Linux. And add it to the dir. And nothing went transparent but just lighter. I think there should be an effect button for it.

Currently lurking trough the "Dark Ice" theme of some one else with does have a success full transparent panel.

Ive also tried a metacity hack. With did only made my computer lag. Since the newest metacity beta contains eye candy suck as making stuff transparent without much higher load then normal.

Till now here is a list i attemted to do:
Making all pictures transparent "Fail"
Metacity beta "fail"
Editing (so far) "fail"

Still working on it to be honest :)

But Ive noticed the transparent panel does seem to work on the default themes such as "Clear Looks"

Regards,
Devendra

Seems like Metacity is the problem. Ill find out how to configure metacity to set transparent panels etc.

Grats,
I know the problem's source!

I have now created a new panel rc file
custompanel.rc
if you open the gtkrc file and where it
says:

include "panel.rc"

just change that to

include "custompanel.rc"

(it's in the beginning of the gtkrc file)

very easy to find :)

that allows you to set a panel background trough the panel properties
and the whole panel will become transparent!

at least this way you get transparent panel.

Did not work. Ive tested it and it gives an normal clear looks panel. With ecception of the buttons.

I think my Metacity beta is not working properly.

Yes, that's the point,
I removed the panel background image
so you can specify it in panel properties
and it will change the whole panel to
that image and not leave untransparent
areas in the panel.

hope you understand what I mean :)

I will test it when I get home. Currently running Compiz-fusion. Tuned into a lighter version. But some options are currently messed up i will fix it ASAP. When its done and ready and after testing your pannel ill update the post on Debian admin. Or make an combo guide of installing compiz fusion and your theme for transparent panel.

And all of that its great work you made. And i am realy enjoying it.

Grats,
Devendra

Thank you again!!

I can see the results are very good indeed :)
Just one minor thing:
the "fusion-icon" seems to have non-transparent background?
Or maybe it's my eyes....

Anyway, you used my custompanel.rc to get those results or did you do some "hacking" yourself?

If so, how did you do it?

I used metacity for the transparent panel. And I even disabled compiz for seeing the true results.

And no editing required :)

Great theme, I use it all the time. I have one problem: when I click on NetworkManager's icon in the system tray, it's very hard for me to see signal strengths of wireless networks. Screenshot of the malady is at http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~mthapner/slickness.png

Thanks for reporting that!

I don't have drivers for the wireless card
(too old kernel)
so I'm not experiencing that problem myself
but I will look into it and update package
as soon as I got it figured out :)

Glad you like my work :D

It seems to load the menu highlight pixmap
both to progressbar and progressbar backgroung (both are kinda white) so I tried to make it have darker borders so it
will easier be spotted how much strength.

Let me know if it helps even a little bit :)

Works great now, thanks! Interior bars have that black border around them and are very easy to see.
