SlimCity3000by ~kant-o

Customization / Skins & Themes / Linux and Unix Utilities / Desktop Environments / GNOME / Metacity

This theme represents my effort to make the main idea behind the previous SlimCity compatible with a larger number of gtk themes and buttons layouts. To achieve that, I ditched the idea of making "drop down" like buttons, opting for simpler (rounder) ones, and used some of the gtk colour variables to decorate the window background. As in SlimCity, the titlebar of maximized windows gets thinner and the text disapears, to maximize screen real estate.

I have tested this theme in Gnome 3 only, with the Zukitwo and Atolm gtk themes, but it will hopelly blend with other themes (gtk2 or gtk3) as well.

Feel free to change or improve the theme at your will. Constructive feedback is also welcomed.

To install:
1st. Download and unzip the contents of the .zip file to the /usr/share/themes/ folder (you will need super user priviledges for this);
2nd. use the Gnome Tweak Tool (Gnome 3.2) to select the Theme - Window Theme (choose SlimCity3000); or use the Appearance Settings of Gnome2 to choose the window borders.
Notice that gnome-shell will need to be restarted for the new window borders to appear. For that, press Alt+F2, write r and hit enter.

Assuming you have wget and unzip on your system, you may also try the following commands to install the theme:
wget www.deviantart.com/download/252340118/slimcity3000_by_kant_o-d468ivq.zip
unzip slimcity3000_by_kant_o-d468ivq.zip
sudo cp -r SlimCity3000/ /usr/share/themes/
rm -r SlimCity3000/

For gnome3, do the following additional steps:
1st. open gnome-tweak-tool
(select SlimCity3000 in the Windows tab -> Current Theme option)
(In gnome 3.2, the metacity themes can be chosen in the Theme tab -> Window theme option.)
Press Alt+F2, write r, and hit enter.

For gnome2, go to the appearance settings and change the window borders of the current theme. No need to restart anything.
