Linux Mint Forums

Hey guys, i installed Linux Mint Maya, MATE edition, i love it, and don't wanna change to anything else, but i can't find a decent darker theme, anyone knows one?
i'm not in search for some eye candy or anything like that, just a simple darker theme. too much white hurts my eyes

i installed ORTA from the gtk2 section of gnomelook. so far so good, but i can't get icons to work.
faenza icons are already installed, but when i apply, they don't change. already reboot, but they won't change.
what am i doing wrong?

Atolm, Elementary dark and OMG are three very nice stylish dark themes

but can we also install icon packs? i don't know why faenza doesn't work. maybe because MATE? they install correctly, but aren't applied (returns to black gnome icons)

elementary icons installed and applied. well, some work, others don't. weird

Just a bug in the ear,Cold dark has been working for me with Linux Mint 13 Xfce

I personally like the Black Velvet theme from gnome-look and the Plasma Shock theme from xfce-look. But I do not know if work with MATE, since I haven't used it.

How about Shiki-Nouveau:

It's the successor of the old Shiki-Wise-Theme in former Linux-Mint-Distributions. It supports GTK2/GTK3, so you have a consistent look in all Mate-Apps. (Remember: Mate needs GTK2-Support from the Theme, and some Apps - like Transmission or Audacious - needs a GTK3-Support from the Theme). So you need a Theme with GTK2/GTK3-Support.
