Love this theme, kind of sad that nobody seems to make them with contrast like this anymore..one of the few reasons I'm still sticking it out with 12.04
Are there any plans to make a theme similar to this, or maybe update this one?
π: 0 β©: 1
THanks! And yes, as soon as they'll keep constant the api I will release a new version for newer ubuntu/gnome distros!!
But I don't even know when. Let's hope for 13.10! Or 14.4

So Ubuntu's on a new LTS version now, GTK has only gotten ten times more insane, and it seems like it's slowly dying out anyways.
I'm guessing the chances of seeing an update at this point are pretty much zero?
π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah, it doesn't seem like gtk's really constant from one version to the next anymore.
I'll be keeping an eye on this one

Color combination of the icons and the theme fit together very well, thank you for this beautiful work ...

Hello. As I said in my last journal entry, I dropped development (and support) for any gtk/wm theme I created, since gnome developers are messing around with latest releases and I don't have neither enough time nor the enough willingness to stay up-to-date with their playground and completely redesign my theme from scratch since their API broke the old one. I will start again in the moment in which gnome theming API will be more stable (hopefully, with 3.10 release in next september we will see something good 
I'm thankful for your appreciation regarding the theme, but unfortunately I cannot help any more. And it's not my fault!

I wish, but it's too difficult. Maybe for 3.8 or even 3.10. I'm sorry , but gnome developers are messing around and I cannot follow their fast and disruptive development.

Great theme ... but I keep getting the following warnings when running applications from the terminal (these do not seem to be included in the download):

Did you install pixmap engine?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks for the response. It doesn't look like pixmap is in the repo anymore (Linux Mint).

But on what version of gnome are you?
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm using the Cinnamon desktop environment (Mint), which I believe is a fork of Gnome 3 ...
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm no expert when it comes to themes, but isn't this happening because there is no gtk-2.0/Styles/Tabs folder in the theme?
Basically, it looks like those images are missing in the download?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes. But the problem is that in the new version there isn't the need for this folder since I should have dropped its dependence.
What version of GrayRevenge are you using?
π: 0 β©: 1
I re-downloaded and re-installed the version on this page. Same problem still.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ok post the result of ll /usr/share/themes/GrayRevenge/gtk-2.0/*
π: 0 β©: 1
I assume you mean ls, not ll?
Here is the ls /usr/share/themes/GrayRevenge/gtk-2.0/*
output:

I assumed ll!! ll is the shortcut for ls -l
But it's the same, I found the bug. Unfortunately, I don't have any GTK2 application on my ubuntu 12.04 installation, so it's difficult for me to check these bugs related to gtk2 theme. Can you tell me what application keeps getting the error you showed?
π: 0 β©: 1
I think most applications are still gtk2. So I get the error for:
- Gimp
- Inkscape
- VLC
- to name a few ...
However, Gnome apps like Totem are fine.
π: 0 β©: 1
This is my output with vlc, gimp and inkscape (on ubuntu 12.04 and gnome 3.4):
"alecive@calliope:~$ vlc
VLC media player 2.0.3 Twoflower (revision 2.0.2-93-g77aa89e)
[0x174d108] main libvlc: Esecuzione di vlc con l'interfaccia predefinita. Usa 'cvlc' per utilizzare vlc senza interfaccia.
alecive@calliope:~$ gimp
alecive@calliope:~$ inkscape
alecive@calliope:~$
"
As you can see, no error is showed! I need to know your gnome version.
Do you have gnome-shell installed? If so, type "gnome-shell --version" in a terminal and post here the result.
π: 0 β©: 1
No Gnome-shell environment on my system, only Cinnamon.
There are some Gnome3 dependencies though, like "gnome-desktop3-data" ver 3.4.2-1; and "gnome-shell-common" ver 3.4.1.8
π: 0 β©: 1
And what is the output of "cinnamon --version"?
π: 0 β©: 2
Hey. Been a while ...
I updated to Cinnamon 1.6. There are now issues with the Cinnamon theme, but I'm using "Glass-shell" and it looks great with Gray Revenge.
I fixed the GTK issues by simply commenting out the theme code for the "pixmap" stuff. Still looks great!
Thanks!

I'm sorry that I can't give you further help, but unfortunately gnome theming is becoming a complete mess and I don't have neither time nor willingness to follow the fast and disruptive development of gtk3 and gnome3. I'm actually thinking on stopping the development of themes (for a year or so) and focusing only on the awoken icon theme, in order to wait for a more stable and reliable development of the theming api.
π: 0 β©: 0
Awesome theme. About the best I was able to find. Still don't like the small differences between gtk2 and gtk3 apps' looks, but at least everything looks similar and aesthetically satisfying. Haven't had that feeling since Equinox Evolution became useless because of gtk3 release.
GTK+ 3.6 seems to have another theme format or something. Button and menu backgrounds are mess after the update.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes I'd have to to the porting. But unfortunately for the lack of spare time I have to wait until I will release the new version of AwOken icon them and the gtk 3.6 porting of ANewStart theme. So, probably, I will get a new version of GrayRevenge only with the next 3.8 release of gnome.
I'm very sorry but due to the lack of time I cannot be up-to-date with the mess that gnome is doing in this period

Ubuntu 12.20, XFCE 4.10, the window decorations are having this issue:
[link]
π: 0 β©: 2
This theme is not supported for 12.10. Anyway, being XCFE based on GTK2 should be. I will give a try in order to fix it, but I cannot assure anything
π: 0 β©: 0
I really like this theme as it reminds me of Evolution Equinox in terms of color and style. I did encounter a bug where the drop down menu for the search bar in Firefox is white, making it unreadable. Will there be other colors for the colored elements, or will it only be the teal-ish color it is now?
π: 0 β©: 1
Can you post a screenshot of your issue?
Regarding the color, probably I will release something in the future, but I cannot ensure you anything since gnome is messing a lot with theme specifications and I'm not sure if I can get a big number of themes to manage
π: 0 β©: 1
I've been trying to recreate the white menu bug, but so far it hasn't happened again. It must have been some odd Gnome bug that got fixed since it happened after waking my system from sleep mode.

Cool 
No more work for me

Looks good,feels good.
Still i have problem with fiting appropriate FX theme,any sugestions?
Im am xfce4 user.
