Dark dialog buttons

Over the past few years I’ve experimented numerous times with dark themes, but every time I switched back to a light theme after a while. However, there is one thing I really like about Darkilouche, namely the dark buttons in dialogs.

So… I took the relevant bits for coloured dialog buttons from Darkilouche and applied it to Clearlooks (with custom colours). The result looks like this:

I’m quite happy with how it looks. As you can see I have reduced the icon sizes in the menu as well.

In case you’re interested, the relevant snippets to put in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (create it if it does not exist) can be found here: gtkrc-snippet.txt

Enjoy!
