Artist's Comments

This is my first ever light coloured pixmap theme. I wanted to create the impression of paint on a canvas using gentle hues. Again, because I have not seen this done before, i decided to create it myself because I imagined the effect would be quite nice.

Available in several flavours:

Bluebell
Cherry
Grass
Lemon
Marigold
Oleander
Olive
Plum
Sky

Install manually, not through the theme manager.

The background is canvas-textured, but i have included smooth background and instructions for those that prefer a smooth background.

NOTE: its a pixmap based theme, so it requires the gtk2-engines-pixbuf package to be installed for the theme to work. On ubuntu(the distro that i use), its not included so needs to be downloaded.



UPDATE:
Changed it to be a more watercolour and pencil look. Got rid of the 'harder' elements such as black lines and metallic buttons etc.

This is much more like it :)

I can't try the theme though because I'm strict to Windows at the moment. Otherwise I can't theme :p

Mmm well done. I have never seen a canvas based theme until now and you did a nice job. I only frown at the metallic looking beveled scrolls and buttons.

Thankyou for the compliment, kj :). The metallic looking buttons actually blends in surprisingly well, and they provide a contrast. I'm in the middle of changing a few things, such as getting rid of the black lines. I think it suits having softer lines.
