- inactive, on 10/19/2007, -4/+36I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I don't like it.
The window buttons are very ugly, they're not even buttons at all, just X [] _ separated by lines that go all the way down
The colors on the window border and in general are reminiscent of Windows XP
There's much better stuff on gnome-look.org than this, and the "nimbus" theme handles the professional-looking eyecandy thing much better
My 2c - cyberwiz01, on 10/10/2007, -10/+38It doesnt really look that much different from Clearlooks. Personally, I liked the more-minimalist theme better.
- hello2usir, on 10/10/2007, -5/+31I'm not really seeing anything spectacular or innovative here. Why should anyone be impressed by this?
- pakkman781, on 10/19/2007, -6/+23Wow, I guess I'm the only one that thinks it looks like ass. Reminds me of interfaces a decade ago, with those terrible gradients. Let me know when you get a real designer on the job...
- Wyzard, on 10/19/2007, -2/+19The titlebar buttons are ugly, and the rest is unremarkable. I liked the old theme better.
- Takuro, on 11/08/2007, -2/+18To put it bluntly: This theme has a face only a geek could love.
- Fairly, on 10/10/2007, -8/+23I fail to see what is so beautiful about that. The author certainly did a good job and if all you tards ever see is Windows then maybe that's why - but the graphics are extremely primitive and the paradigm is still not object oriented meaning no matter the graphics Red Hat is still substandard.
- Markpdotcom, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15It might be a nice job, but its years behind the modern look of all new OS'... They've got a long way to go if they want to catch up!
- clickwir, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Nice, but the X isn't in the corner. I want to be able to throw my cursor in the top right, click and I expect the window to close. I don't need to look for it and ***** around hunting for it. Close.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -11/+21Yuck. That's a ***** theme. I would rather use Windows 3.1 then use that theme.
- scottied, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11This theme sucks! Seriously. AOL 2.0 emulated in wine looks better than this. I've seen better interfaces drawn with MS Paint.
Even Fedora's aging Bluecurve theme beats this. At least Bluecurve was something original to unify the Linux desktop, not just a hackjob of available themes. - Megatog615, on 10/19/2007, -2/+10Er, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons look like ass.
- hello2usir, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10To piss you off, duh
- geminitojanus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Eh I don't think I like it very much either. The one thing that kind of stuck out to me was that the checkmarks are all green while the rest of the widgets are properly styled with a blue hue. I think I would like it better if the colors were better chosen (and they removed those goofy looking directional icons).
- vh1`, on 10/10/2007, -5/+11never man
windows 98 is the pinnacle of interface design or us
oh you sure got us - Ademan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I don't really like a single thing about this theme, well, the treeview looks decent, but other than that i don't care for it much, i REALLY liked clearlooks' striped progress bars, those are gone, the wierd haze thing on the notebook tabs looks gross to me, and i suppose the combo boxes aren't THAT bad, but i still don't care for them much. I'm still a huge supporter of clearlooks.
- Urusai, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5It doesn't look like Keramik. For some reason, every damn theme looks like ClearLooks or Keramik, assuming it isn't trying to clone Windows 95, XP, or some MacOS theme.
- clickwir, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8Terrible? Really, damn. I think most KDE/Gnome themes look heaps better than windows and that other OS. Well, if you think they look so bad, make it better. Show us what it should be. Prove it. If you have an idea better than what's already there, then we need to see it. Because I don't think you can, I think they are amazing as is. But really, if you got more, lay it out and lets see it.
- rootstyle, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6"Windows 98 doesn't even have rounded corners"
Who says rounded corners are good? I prefer the usability of a nice plain motif or 4dwm look to any of these over the top themes in most of the Linux window managers today. - antitab, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5No, it's not just you. It definitely looks like ass.
- Sabretou, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I was expecting something that would kick KDE Oxygen's ass - turns out this can't even kick Clearlooks'.
- Breepee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4It's a major error that they aren't aligned with the right side of the window... It's gui design 101, that those button must be easy to target, and having them where they are now means that in order to hit X, you need to target a specific range of x-coords, whereas if had been in the corner, you only had to shift your mouse all the way to the upperright cornor of your mousepad, doesn't matter where it lands exactly.
- guhvies, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4You sire, have just done a grave injustice to geeks worldwide. That thing is terrible. It should be slaughtered like the cattle in England with foot & mouth disease. Thank $DEITY there are alternatives.
- Ademan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4http://www.gnome-look.org it can look however you want. (if you want to theme qt, http://www.kde-look.org)
- psxman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Colors can be changed trivially. I'll give you that the window borders aren't that great, though.
- gemmakicn, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8It looks like most linux themes, on a good day terrible. Next development push should be on usability, and ditching beryl.
- phiberoptik957, on 10/10/2007, -16/+19When will there be a main stream Linux distribution that comes with a default theme that looks even 1/2 as good as Windows 98?
- antitab, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3How in the hell could you lump Aqua in with GNOME themes???
- joe90210, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5hideous
- motang, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I sticking with Clearlooks.
- Elranzer, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6All new Gnome-based distros' default themes are based off Clearlooks. Frankly, this is quite ugly, not even half as good as Ubuntu's job with the "Human" theme.
- Ademan, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Frankly i like clearlooks far more... This...just...no. But of course it's all a matter of preference, so i'm sure i don't speak for everyone.
- jisatsusha, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Neither does Windows Vista. It still works, it's designed so that the top-right pixel always acts as the close button.
- Theery, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5I like the Fedora 5 theme the most, i wish that one was used again :(
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I think you might be getting a bit mixed up - Nodoka is a theme for GTK+ and was created by a Czech student. I'm not sure how Redhat come into this.
- stephenwq, on 10/10/2007, -6/+8Good job Martin! Looks much nicer than the beta version, and definitely better than the current default.
- Markpdotcom, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4What does your stupidity have to do with Diggs comment system?
- djGentoo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2F6's DNA theme FTW.
- linuxrebel, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Sorry but IMHO it's, well, like a 2D XP without green. There are more than 2 colors in the world (brown toned = Ubuntu, Green and Grey = SuSE and Blue and Grey all the rest) This theme really has no depth, no feel, no warmth. It's like driving a Ferrari with a cardboard cutout Yugo body, and the interior from a real HumVee Just as fast with none of the warmth and richness it deserves.
Oh and Takuro that should be a blind geek ;)
As for clickwir ...... remind me to only stand on you left ;-O - jisatsusha, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3The colours are customisable.
- Elranzer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3"Since the first Fedora releases, Clearlooks has been the default theme"
No. I'm quite sure that Bluecurve has been the default theme from Fedora 1-3. Clearlooks wasn't even out yet until Fedora 3, was only default since Fedora Core 4, and even then, they used Bluecurve's icon scheme.
The article is correct, but the submitter felt the need to change the description inaccurately.
FTA: "For a while now, Clearlooks has been the default theme in Fedora; in fact, for a long time, Clearlooks has been the default theme in a number of distros thanks to its place as Gnome's default." - init100, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I agree, I like Clearlooks more, although I use a modified glossy Clearlooks that looks slightly better than the default Clearlooks theme.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Great, ugly and ***** blue WAY CREATIVE GOING FOR BLUE GRADIENTS THERE
E for effort - jdhore1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Clearlooks is pretty nice and they really updated it and made it look a lot nicer for Gnome 2.20
- sej7278, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2personally i preferred bluecurve to clearlooks and don't like this much, but surely compiz-fusion themes will be the default by the time f8 comes out?

- rahulsundaram, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You could just go and hit the corner and it would work despite the appearance that you can;t. Try it out.
- dariuspokister, on 03/11/2009, -0/+0great web design - http://www.sdasint.ro
