After Elegant Dark, here comes the Elegant Dark MacMenu release, ready for global and macmenu.
You’ll have to add Panel/menubar-black.png (from the theme directory) as background for your panel using panel properties dialog (right click on an empty part of the panel and choose “properties” in the menu).

The corresponding metacity theme is included, there is also an emerald theme Elegant Dark Flat (link bellow). They give the flat looking, mac menu bar and panel have the original elgant dark menu colors.

Gtk themes Elegant Cold Blue flat and black bar versions

capture.pngcapture-1.pngHere’s two new versions of my Elegant mod : a flat gray one and a black bar one (the closest to elegant brit and elegant one).

These two have the corresponding metacity theme included, based on elegant brit metacity theme (thanks once more to fmrbpensador).

The emerald theme that comes with the MacMenu version of Elegant Cold Blue can be used with the flat version gtk theme (same colors). I haven’t made a mod of the elegant brit emerald to use with the black bar version but the elegant brit emerald should fit though the close button is orange.

They are not global or mac menu ready (see my previous post if you need a global or mac menu version).
