Hello Paul,
I just tried installing it. You have to extract the theme version folder you want into the .themes directory. To be able to select it from gnome-tweak-tool you need to create a gtk-3.0 directory in the theme folder along the gtk-2.0 directory. This should make it appears into the combo menu in gnome-tweak-tool. You should also be able to select the window decoration. However, note that gtk3 apps won't be styled...
best regards,
Thibaut

I realize it's in French, but one of the first things I noticed was the variable named "Tampon".
Anyway, really nice theme!

"Buffer" shouldn't be translated, especially to store some int value, in a var name starting by an uppercase

I <3 this. And have been using it, however 2 things stuck out to me. In some apps, progress bars do not show. Also, some items, specifically links, are colored too darkly.
I use clearlooks zenburn most of the time, you might want to check out the colors used there as I see you're using a similar soft dark base (#f3f3f3?).
I have a huge softspot for the zenburn color scheme, but I

Thanks for your feedback !
Could you please tell me which apps are lacking the progressbars ?
That's already a 2 years old artwork, and I think it's high time to update it

The application I noticed it in originally was Transmission. I'll post any others I notice it in, the problem is a) I don't use a lot of apps with progress bars, and b) due to the coloring issues I can't use this as my primary theme.
I didn't realize till after my original comment how old this was, truly a good thing to stand such a test of time, or else I just like old things

actually, I tried to install this on xubuntu. But it didn't show up in my preferences, while I'm sure I put it into the right folder. Any guesses?

You need to extract the archive file till you get the Minimum Suite folder which include all the 4 themes in tar.gz format.
You can then install each of them independantly by drag'n dropping them in the gnome-appearance window or extracting them to your .themes folder
Hope it helps

yeah, i know how that works. The problem was that the owner of the file was me, not root. after changing those things with chown, chgrp and chmod it worked.
problem is: gtk decorates the window borders with the "albatross"-standard buttons - currently im using "gtk-window-decorator --replace" as window decorator. Any advice?

Great metacity theme. I never found a theme that would have the simple minimalistic design that this one has.
Thanks

Most minimalist themes use tiny pixel fonts and lack contrast big-time (or have too much contrast), but this has none of that crap, so great job man, very nice theme.
