## [Theme](Theme)

This will stay close in color to the current but throw out the design ideas. New engine. Whatever just as long as the Blue/Darker Gray/Black is in there.

The thinking behind this is professional multimedia editing apps.  [BIG](http://www.videohelp.com/toolsimages/avid_xpress_dv_76.jpg)

### Gutsy’s Theme

   
### Viper 550

   
- I used the Crux and Clearlooks engines for this, thinking Crux looked sorta like what you’d find in those media applications. Window border is temporary. -Viper550 Along with keeping in mind what “those media applications” look like one must keep in mind if it follows [THIS](Artwork/OfficialHardy) . I’m unsure if it does. -CKontros

### GTK/DIY Theme idea

How about extending the grungy/DIY concept to the GTK Theme? I’ve made a quick and dirty mockup, but since i’m no artist it doesn’t look good; however, i’m sure you’ll get the idea :

I have no idea which engine could display that, but I think any engine capable of displaying SVG could do the trick. -nilux

## Comments

I definitely like this idea. If no one else is taking it, I can make a good gtk2 theme out of it. Should I take it with the murrine engine? – [SzerencseFia](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SzerencseFia)

- Just use the engine that fits best; you can try with murrine but i don’t think it will work.. – Nilux
