--- Comment #17 from piedro <piedro.kulman at googlemail.com> ---
I downloaded the GIT themes and tested, well, checked out whether they work... 

This looks promising. Though obviously incomplete, colors are alright (void of
any individual adjustments - but I guess that's expected...) 

Though starting Gnome Mplayer, the UI is converted - it's white fonts on black
canvas ... 

I wonder whether these additional themes are the right concept in the long run.
KDE has extensive individual theme customization options and I think it's not
very attrative to customize your theme if the changes are only applied to
native KDE applications. 

Changes in the color scheme should be picked up by non KDE applications via a
kind of theme translation engine or by using a kind of chameleon theme for gtk
apps. 

Otherwise if I decide I do not want white fonts on highlighted items (I think
the idea of switching highlighted text from black font to white font is a very
bad idea!) and I set the highlight color a little lighter so I can have a
readable dark font with that... if I go through the effort to do that I never
want to repeat all these steps for gtk2, gtk3 or other themes... 

So, testing the breeze-gtk themes results in similar looking gtk apps without
theme customizations and still some bugs like small fonts in dropdown list
selectors or selection boxes. But it's a good start I guess... 

thx, piedro
