Hello!
As I have many comments on my previous post, I’ll try to explain how to make a good black theme:
1. Choose a beautiful and simple wallpaper:
2. Choose a beautiful theme, and change its colors:
bruno@reginaldo:~$ cat .themes/GNOME\ Black/index.theme
[Desktop Entry]
Name=GNOME Black
Type=X-GNOME-Metatheme
Comment=
Encoding=UTF-8
[X-GNOME-Metatheme]
GtkTheme=Glossy
MetacityTheme=Glossy
IconTheme=gnome
GtkColorScheme=fg_color:#fffff46eea13,bg_color:#444444444343,text_color:#ffffffffffff,base_color:#54a554a554a5,selected_fg_color:#ffffffffffff,selected_bg_color:#1ad71ad71ad7,tooltip_fg_color:#000000000000,tooltip_bg_color:#fffff1f1bebe
CursorTheme=default
CursorSize=18
3. Finally, pick up a complete and simple icon theme. I suggest GNOME default or Tango icon theme.
Dear lazyweb,
How can I post pure HTML on WordPress? I’ve been tried many ways, but WP always fill my post with <br> , < and >. Drivel give me an error message when I have links into the post.
http://ottodestruct.com/wpstuff/disableautop.zip is an extension to disable WordPress’s markup fixer, so I’ve been led to believe.

It’s very good, but I think looking light or white web pages smahes the eyes…
but very good looking.
Have you tried wp-simplecode http://www.village-idiot.org/archives/2006/04/09/wp-simplecode/
Gotta turn off the wysiwyg editor or at least temporarily switch into the plain text editor – that should probably do it.
Loeved your last 2 posts, heres is something i hope it can help you!
For posting html code you could use the following tags
/cheers
A second look on this [url=http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/09/03/how-do-i-post-source-code]link[/url] from the WordPress site may be the answer youre lookking for. It looks that html is noit suported! :S
But you got to try!
exactly, black themes are sexy, but strain the eyes if you attempt to browse the web 😉

I ask you, because i cant find that file in a standard Ubuntu install.
Thanks for the attention!
Hi, I thought I’d give your theme a go, the only problem is that “tool tips” so up as white text on yellow and I can’t read them, please can you tell me how to fix that?
Thanks 🙂
Duh, to answer my own question … need to change this “tooltip_bg_color:#fffff1f1bebe” … thanks anyway!
@wower:
Edit your theme on System -> Preferences -> Appearance, then, save the theme with your prefered name. The ~/.themes/YOURTHEME/index.theme will be created. Also you can create the file by hand.
@wower:
Also, if you have problem with notifications, change the theme to GNOME default:
$ gconftool -s –type=string /apps/notification-daemon/theme standard
