Description This style is created primarily to have a matching window border in sync with the elegant theme created by trastes.

menu, toolbar and selectors are nearest to the gtk theme (tried my level best to achieve the nearest look n feel of the theme)

INSTALL (for linux users)
Download and move the style sheet DarKnight to /usr/share/blackbox/styles.
Choose DarKnight from the menu.

Details of screenshot content:

a) Wall : Paw (awesome wall for this theme) by Mr_Ragnarok => [link]

b) GTK Theme: MediterraneanNight by trastes => [link] [his 3 themes are a terrific trio - worth a visit for all linux users IMHO]

c) Icons : FaenzaMac by irbinix => [link]

d) Launchers : Launchers for linux by iacoporosso => [link] (some apps and its related icons modified for my use)

e) Conky: Cronograph Station by mucas => [link] (modified with an addition for acpi temp by me)

If you wish to use this background or any other matching one of your choice, add this line without the quotes in the style sheet end
"rootCommand: Esetroot -scale (Path of your wallpaper)"

you should get this wall as you choose this style.

Thank You for visiting this page for a Preview / Download.
Hats off to all the champions who have created the themes, icons, wall, launcher and conky !

UPDATE 26.3.2012

Many thanks to pitkon for pointing me to the correct area where i had to edit the style file. now the style looks much more polished. Thank you pete.... (i ve updated the preview so the changes can be seen)

Yes, you can set transparency on both flavors of BB, but I can only tell you how to do it under Windows... And you are very welcome

Toolbar letters are hard to read, but other than that this is a great setup... A fav!

another hitch i faced is i font color in toolbar doesnt seem to change ! have to dig into that to keep it in sync with the other font colors...

pitkon In reply to rvc-2011 [2012-03-26 08:08:33 +0000 UTC]

You mean you opened the style file and couldn't change textColor? Make sure there is not a universal override *textColor at the beginning of the style file.

pitkon In reply to rvc-2011 [2012-03-26 08:06:52 +0000 UTC]

I didn't mean the size but the color, my friend. Black on dark gray is not the best of combinations

good work mate !!! you could use a compositing manager to get the transparency and improve the result

rvc-2011 In reply to iacoporosso [2012-03-25 18:28:13 +0000 UTC]

well, i was looking for that ! the lauchers are awesome in my gnome-shell desktop, wonder if thats possible in bb. if you are aware, kindly guide me and i ll update the preview ! honestly speaking, i just explore on my own so it takes more time to get deeper into the stuff!

best regards,

i didn't use bb before but i think that a compositing manager such as xcompmgr [link] can help u to have a good result
