It's a very nice theme indeed. I installed XFCE on my openSUSE 11 laptop last night. I haven't had a chance to change my theme from the default. I still like Xubuntu's XFCE than openSUSE's XFCE. Xubuntu is something that a Gnome user can appreciate because it feels more Gnome-ish. openSUSE uses a more traditional XFCE. Nothing bad about that, it just lacks a little extra polish. XFCE has some really pretty themes that come with it. It even has a Redmond theme for the Windows XP lover in you. :) @Richard Querin

In Xfce I run Clearlooks controls (xfce uses gtk themes for controls) and an xfce window theme called Rezlooks4xfce-Graphite. Check out this screenshot and you'll see how close it actually does look: http://screencasters.heathenx.org/wp-content/uploads/current_theme.jpg Also, despite rumours, heathenx and I don't call each other to see what we're both wearing. ;) Right now I'm running the Mist icon set, and not Tango - I think. RQ @Richard B and heathenx,

I'm using Ubuntu Hardy. I have installed the Ubuntu-Studio theme, darklooks from the repo, and Gilouche from art.gnome.org, and I'm using clearlooks for the dialog decor with Tango icons (I love Tango). Basically all I wanted was the Gilouche theme which is the default Gnome theme in openSUSE. I have always loved this theme. It's very clean looking and very Tango-ish. Basically, start out with the Gilouche theme and tweak your colors. I installed darklooks and Ubuntu-Studio themes to pull some colors but I'm not sure if it's necessary.

What metacity / GTK theme do you use, I've been looking for something like that for a while now. Richard B I really like this screencast, it was very informative.

Working with Kreskin was better than my previous job mopping floors at the local peep show for minimum wage. Eeww. :( @Richard Querin

I had wondered whether it would be appropriate to ask you for a tutorial on creating custom patterns. Well, here it is, very useful, easy to follow, and inspiring. Thanks a lot!
