</div>The last time I tried was a long while back... I think I used the<br>
package from the repos. I'm on Ubuntu right now, so I hope the<br>
packages in the nightly PPA will work soon.<br>
<br>
But you're right, an older version will probably be fine for theming.<br>
I'll try that next and let you know how it goes!<br>

<br>
</div>Definitely. Most themes I've seen use a single color for half of the<br>
shell and gradients for the other half. I thought that was the extent<br>
of theming possibilities, but then I saw this:<br>

<br>
Regardless of whether it looks good or not, it fits really really well<br>
with Ubuntu's theme and proves that there are more possibilities. I<br>
think that's really good news for us. :)<br>
