UbuntuSun

Let the sun shine in!

UbuntuSun is a Set of desktop themes for Gnome 2. The idea behind it: As some people like dark themes and some people like bright themes, why not combine them into one set of matching themes with different shades? UbuntuSun is based on the idea of having the sun shine into your windows. As the themes were created for Ubuntu 10.04 “Lucid Lynx”, this sunny property also fits to the name quite nicely, doesn’t it?

Although the themes have been developed vor Ubuntu (that’s where the name comes from), they should work on every Gnome2 desktop.

The Themes

The user can choose between three different moods of the theme, representing different positions of the sun and thus different levels of brightness: Dawn, Day and Dusk. All the variants are constructed equally, with the most prominent element being the light spot in the title bar and the unity of the window that contains no (complete) separation between title bar, menu bar, toolbar and the window content.

To prevent borders of inactive windows from having an ugly transparency, you need to open the configuration editor (Press Alt+F2, enter gconf-editor and click OK) and there set the value of apps › gwd › metacity_theme_opacity to 1.
