DClearlooks Compact By martinus
I have been using Ubuntu for quite a while now, but one thing I really dislike is that all the themes are huge space wasters compared to Windows XP. This finally got me angry enough to create a customized version of the Clearlooks theme that tries to be very compact but still maintain its beautiful look. I like the result quite a lot, I have been using this theme for more than two weeks now and it works great. It is especially nice for intense applications like Eclipse.

I've found solutions to the both problems. For the first, in the gtkrc file, find the style "clearlooks-wider" entry and change ythickness from 2 to 3. For the second, change the entry for class "GtkFrame" to style "clearlooks-wider". The latter makes things a little less compact, but the frame now remains intact.
Love the theme! I've found a few issues with it though. Epiphany's entry bar loses some of the "padding" it has when selected (same thing but less saturated when not selected): http://i13.tinypic.com/7x4a0i0.png
Also, the outlines around certain input boxes, for example Pidgin, seem to be incomplete: http://i9.tinypic.com/8bj7513.png
The latter might be the inevitable result of the compactness, but the former could definitely use a little work.
Great theme. I like the idea behind it and I've thought the same several times as well. Thanks a lot!
Is this theme working with Gnome 2.18?
Thanks.
can someone say where i can download gnome 2.20 default clearlooks theme?
You did a wonderful job pal, 'cause you managed to keep the theme both beautiful and efficient at the same time. Thanks!
why not make the scroll bar a little more compact as well?
You should make Human-Compact
