My very first GTK theme
About the theme
Hope is based on Ambiance, it started as a modification to match a nice Metacity theme (see the credits), then became an exercise to learn how to make GTK themes, and now we have this.

Elementary by Ubuntu-mono by Canonical
Known Issues: The text in Firefox's Awesomebar is unreadable. The panel backgrounds are inconsistent. The theme asks for an unavailable icon theme.
Fixed Issues: The metacity theme is working fine now. The links color in blue instead of orange. There is a tar.gz file inside, you can drag and drop in the Appearance window.:origin()/pre00/74f0/th/pre/i/2011/018/2/f/outsiders___emerald_pack_by_0rax0-d37do64.png)

~/.themes/Hope/gtk-2.0/apps/gnome-panel.rc:121: error: unexpected character `\', expected string constant
Any ideas?
I have Gnome 2 and Murrine installed.
I'm running Debian Squeeze.
Here's a screenshot: [link]
Any clue on how to fix this?
Great theme otherwise.
I had this problem with many themes way before Unity, unfortunately, I'm not using Unity nor GTK+ 2 and currently interested in GNOME Shell and GTK+ 3, so this may or may not be fixed
As for the compatibility with Unity, it's because 'Hope' is based on the default theme, so the credits for that go to the creator of 'Ambiance'
Yes, you can do it, as long as you credit back of course
Thanks.
One minor complaint is that you used 7zip for such a small file, when you could have used normal zip, which is installed default for most.
Yes, you have a point. I did not think much about the file type, I'll make sure to use .zip next time, thanks again.
