Comment on Abstract.DarkGlow v2 by thibaut28
None of it seemed to work.
I guess I'll have to resign myself to sticking with Human Clearlooks.
I just get an "error extracting theme" message...

Well we can try one last thing 
Just extract the folder. Then copy directly the folder containing the gtk2 and xfce4 themes to /home/user/.themes/ . Really it should work, I always install this way

"This theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme engine '' is not installed."
I'm not sure what to do.

I see I'm sorry it's so complicated 
Could you open the gtkrc file which is inside /home/user/.themes/MinimumBlack/gtk-2.0/ with a text editor ?
If you do so, starting from the line 1676 you should see this :
# This prevents Sodipodi from crashing while opening the
# Object-Style dialog.
style "unstyle"
{
engine ""
{
}
}
and maybe if you add "pixmap" this way :
# This prevents Sodipodi from crashing while opening the
# Object-Style dialog.
style "unstyle"
{
engine "pixmap"
{
}
}
and save it, you could get the theme to work. I can't tell for sure, but that seems rather logical
If it works, just report it to me, and I'll update the theme

Ok, that seemed to work, mostly, although the Abstract-DarkGlow theme has issues with the Ubuntu user switcher and the display of some of my cpu & ram monitors. The Minimum suite themes are very nice though (although the buttons and progress bars seem to be very Windoze).
I know I should update the DarkGlow, there are things which need to be redone, or re-designed. Plus I don't think I ever tested it under Gnome, only XFCE and Pekwm. About the progressbars I wanted something more windoze or Ubuntu I wanted progress bars representing fractions. I don't know if the buttons look really windows, maybe win 95 or default gtk, but it has to look like what people think is a button, specifically a squared button. So basically it's a rectangle, shadowed or sunken Thanks for helping me to solve this problem, I'll probably update the theme soon

Maybe make it a little more... modern Ubuntu... Much as I love it I think if it went a little "human" it good be the best out there.
