About:
A nice theme using colors from a standard Windows color scheme, but with a metallic overtone. This theme is included on the Red Hat 6.1 CD. I ask that you extend the curtousy of writing a constructive comment as to why you like or dislike this theme. That way, the rating makes sense. Currently, the rating does not make sense. I have not received one negative comment, it is included in a major distribution, and yet it has been moderated down to 'poor'. The only reason I can think of is the mentioning of the name "Windows". I will go on record as saying that Microsloth Sloware is probably the worst batch of software I have ever used. Just because I used some colors that are in one of there "themes" does not warrant a poor rating.

[»] Quite a nice theme, actually

I quite liked this theme. I didn't need anything too intensive, but wanted something that said "quality". Thanks!

Thank you. I accomplished my goal. Too many of the other themes available at the time were either too flashy, or too simple. I liked the overall look of Gradient (one of the first GTK pixmap themes to become truly popular), but I didn't like the grays. In my opinion, too many OS vendors limit their palette to shades of gray with a splash of color, and don't explore other schemes that are both usable and interesting. I developed that when I was in a more muted mood than to use my Executive theme (which I also like for different reasons). Those were the two themes that I thought would be perfect in a professional environment. Plus, for it to be included in a major distribution of Linux is incredible
