Description:

Gnome Shell Theme created in continuum of AmbiGlass Shell Theme.
This theme will suit for light GTK3 themes and light wall papers.

REQUIREMENTS:
Gnome 3.2 / Gnome-Shell
Cinnamon 1.2

INSTALL:

The zip contains 2 different folders (each for cinnamon and gnome-shell, seperated). for gnome-shell or cinnamon users, you can go into the respective folders and extract the 3 theme folders to ~/.themes and choose them using either gnome-tweak-tool OR cinnamon-settings (depending on the desktop you choose.
for those using both desktops, you can merge the themes so you can choose them from whichever desktop you are.

hope you enjoy this theme

i did this to have something matching with Luminaire GTK3 theme which is nearest to the elementary theme (you can find it here => http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Luminaire?content=146615 )

i liked the look and feel and felt i will share it here.

22.11.2011
Changed the look of Dash in aero Dark variant(shown in the preview link d listed above so you can decide before download (if already downloaded))

20.11.2011
No change to the base and monochrome themes, changed the panel style on the aero-Dark version from gradient border to background image as this looked better than before and just bundled the 3 different themes into a compressed theme pack for ease of download.

Just extract the three folders to ~/.themes and choose any of the three version you like !

18.11.2011
Kept the Previous 2 variants unchanged and added a 3rd variant with blacking transparency in panel and pop up menus.
i liked the effect so called it aero-dark.

12.11.2011
1.Added a 2nd Variant in monochrome (Preview 3).

i was toying with the theme to go with another of my most used theme "drakfire dream suite (drakfire-gray)" with drakfire evolution icon set and a matching monochrome wallpaper.
i came with this result. hope this variant is received well too.

2.fine tuned the aero theme

11.11.2011

hi dear,

what is meant with contrast-problem is, that it is hard to read black text on complete transparent menues in these themes.

So I have a suggestion for you:
could you make a version with these transparent menues and white scrollbuttons, but with white text and transparent panel and white userbuttons on it??

This would be nice and better to read.

Thanks in advance,
your friend

this theme was originally visualized with transparency as the subject. in one of the variant, the menu transparency starts from semi transparent to fully transparent.

i had tested that using a matching wall. well, i ll dig into that and see what best i can do.... i ll update you when done.
