Latest Update :
11/5/2008 v1.2 . I will be away for one year of obligatory military service, so this theme will probably be unmaintained till I am back. This update includes small bug fixes (see Changelog).

Description :

This theme looks best with the black and white 2 icon theme. It's also designed to work with or without the globalmenu hack (see instructions) . If you are a Pekwm user , there is a wonderfull matching theme by Thrynk.

Instructions :

Please change the file suffix to tar.gz In order to extract.

- Extract the Azel-Pack archive anywhere you want, go to the gtk folder and install Azel and Azel Original through the theme manager.

- If you prefer the gnome standard button placement use the Azel window border. If you prefer buttons on the left (as in the screenshot) use the Azel Original window border and go to the next step.

- If you have selected the Azel Original window border , open gconf-editor, go to apps->metacity-> general and change the button_layout to
close,maximize,minimize:menu .

- If you are using compiz , run gconf-editor and go to apps->gwd and set metacity_theme_opacity to 1 . Then, go to apps->compiz->lugins->decoration->allscreens->options
and set shadow_opacity to 0.85 , shadow_radius to 8.5 , shadow_x_offset to 0 and shadow_y_offset to 4 .

-If you prefer emerald to metacity/gtk-window-decorator , go to the emerald folder and install the themes . You can also look here [link] for decorators that have the buttons on the right side.

- If you are using the globalmenu applet , comment out(add the # symbol in the beggining of ) the line
include "no-globalmenu.rc"
on the bottom of the theme's gtkrc file.

- If you are into dark panels, open the gtkrc file found inside the gtk-2.0 folder of the theme and comment out (add the # symbol in front of) the line :
include "panelrc"
found near the end of the file and uncomment (remove the # symbol) the line :
#include "panelblackrc"
and if you are using globalmenu also uncomment the next line :
#include "panelblack-globalmenurc"

- If you are using Ubuntu Hardy and have problems with thunar and huge toolbars, use the included deb or follow the included instructions to compile a fixed version yourself.

- If you are using firefox just use Epiphany . Just kidding . Go to the firefox folder and into ff2 if you are using firefox2 or ff3 for firefox3. In case you are using the hidemenubar extension, there is also the Azel-no-menubar theme included.

- If you are using Mplayer , extract the contents of the Azel-mplayer archive into ~/.mplayer/skins .

Changelog :

- White arrows on lists and trees fixed.

- Deformed side tabs on notebook fixed.

- ComboBox items and lists, black text instead of white when selected fixed.
