New in Victory (Strikes Again) 2010.04.29 (Apr 29, 2010)
- The following applications are themed so far:
- Nautilus 2.28 (2.30 does not theme well! I will work on it.)
- Nautilus Elementary 2.28 is recommended (2.30 I have not tried, but likely not to work well.)
- Thunar also recommended
- PCManFM
- Exaile
- Rhythmbox
- Banshee
- Totem
- F-Spot
- Eye of Gnome
- Firefox (Does not like themeing!)
- Google Chrome
- Things that are not good:
- Firefox buttons do not match rest of system.
- Firefox does not honor fixed scrollbar length.
- This theme is not always very 'keyboard navigation' friendly, I am sorry.
- Wish scrollbars were not pixmap, but had same look... wish it was a murrine option, then they would not have to be fixed length.
- Expander triangles - I wish I could pick the fill color. I wish Murrine used triangle expanders.
- Nautilus 2.30, as noted above, does not theme well! Let me know if Nautilus Elementary is the same. I will put up a new version later for 2.30, but it will not look like 2.28.
