No problem,

	I'm interested in the answer as well. I have some killer gnome themes that I
really like, but epiphany or firefox simply won't follow the desktop theme
without rendering the controls unusable in many cases. I like you created custom
chrome.css files by taking pages apart with the DOM inspector to set the input
control color to use the theme color only to have it break on the next site.

	For some apps (like egroupware), a few simple customizations cure the problem
and I do that for the 3 web apps I have, but ... that doesn't help the other
billion or so potential pages on the net.

	As for a great reverse theme. I really like the following. Just create a
directory for the theme under ~/.themes and make sure you have the needed gtk
and metacity parts installed (there standard stuff):

[Desktop Entry]
Name=dcr+neon+sonar
Type=X-GNOME-Metatheme
Comment=after crash cleanup

[X-GNOME-Metatheme]
GtkTheme=QtCurve
MetacityTheme=Sonar
IconTheme=Neon
GtkColorScheme=fg_color:#bd70bd70bd70,bg_color:#333333333333,text_color:#dc28dc28dc28,base_color:#1eb81eb81eb8,selected_fg_c
olor:#ffffffffffff,selected_bg_color:#414190b5e473,tooltip_fg_color:#d1ebd1ebd1eb,tooltip_bg_color:#3d703d703d70
CursorTheme=Vanilla-DMZ-AA
CursorSize=24
NotificationTheme=bubble


See if you like it.
