A modified version of the Clearlooks 2 theme for Linux's Metacity window manager. I always liked the theme, especially with the Clearlooks Cairo 6x GTK widget theme in Fedora Core 6, but I always wanted the unfocused windows to blend better. A quick bit of theme hacking and this is the result - a modification to the unfocused windows that gives a seemless blend of title to body on unfocused windows, and a more subtle border on the focused windows. I currently use the theme with Compiz's GTK-Window-Decorator for added transparency effects.

Screenshots:

Releases:

• v1.0 release 13th April 2007

Changes:

• Dark border on bottom of unfocused title removed so that title bar blends more with window body
• Dark border on bottom of focused title lightened so that change from unfocused and no line to focused isn't so major
• Outer border of unfocused windows lightened so that background windows are more subtle and subdued
