Ubuntunion – A modern theme for the Gnome desktop
Ubuntunion has been the first desktop theme developed by me. Although it has originally been developed for Ubuntu (that’s where the name comes from), it should work on every recent Gnome desktop. The “successor” of this theme is ubuntunion2.

The idea behind Ubuntunion is to view a window as a unity in which elements like title bar, menu bar and toolbar melt with the other window contents and are all framed by a colourful border. To achieve this, there are no lines that split the whole window. Instead, the windows contain gradient lines. Also the outer frame is relatively thick to hold the window together.
The theme is not very flexible. The colours cannot be changed, the windows always have a white background and orange highlights.
Besides the window frame theme (for Metacity) Ubuntunion also contains a “hand-made” theme for the window contents (GTK+) which is not fully complete.
