Tactile By poptones

Home > Themes > Application Themes > Tactile
Preview Updated colors, fresh new look. Darker, richer look that also plays well with Nautilus, Evolution, Pidgin and other text apps. No more unreadable dark blue links on a dark background!

Because this uses transparent widgets, the primary color theme can be easily adjusted through a very wide range in the theme text file. Grey, brown, tan, wine...

Best usability of any darker theme - looks great with Firefox/Ubuntu. Matching theme settings soon coming for gedit, gftp and yelp.

it needs to be updated - i don't know whether it is the 2.22 gnome update, but it looks... shitty. definitely not resembling the screenshot in the slightest.

in newer versions of firefox it is possible to change a options value, to fix the problem with the creamy letters on white background. You only have to switch off the using of the system colours. (options>content>colours)

Wow, finally a darker theme, that works, what a relief for the eyes.

This theme saved my life. I have been disatisfied with Linux desktops for years. I've used several window managers, and just recently tried gnome for the first time. I was pretty happy with it, and decided to skin it. I found this theme, installed it with the Dropline Neu icons and it looks fantastic!

One complaint though. The application background colour is that same grey/brown you find everywhere. This makes it very difficult to view documents (such as in OpenOffice) whose fonts are configured to be viewed on a white background. A white background in applications would be fantastic. #F0F0F0 maybe...

Great work!

the background on this seems to be set at virtualy the same colour as the text, rather than the brown. Anyone any ideas?

Thanks a lot umarmung!! This makes this theme my favorite.

This happes when the website sets background color but no foreground color.
Put this in ~/.gnome2/epiphany/mozilla/epiphany/chrome/userContent.css
html {
color: black;
background: white;
}

Great work. One of the rare truly usable low contrast theme, however for one thing, Epiphany or Galeon does not allow to change the default font color like Firefox does, so the creamy white on white background does not show up, anyone know a workaround ?

Good looking theme, but it is very slow.

thanks for the comments. You know, after reading that critiqu I spent several hours trying different scrollbars and I never came up with something that I thought fit better. The theme is supposed to be minimal and usable. The scrollbars as they are match the icon and font themes I use, and scrollbars are an important visual cue when working in a file so darkening them makes the theme less usable.

I'm hoping to have the complete icon package available soon, then it will come together a bit better. About 1000 icons in all, trying to devise a way to make them apply consistently through the desktop.

Nice and unique theme. Don't like the scrollbars though. They are too bright and flat; they somehow don't fit with the rest.
