Matthew Farrell's theme from Live Free Or Die Hard 4 for gnome

I am a Die Hard fan from the first hour. After watching the 4th one, called Live Free or Die Hard I went looking after the theme the character Matthew Farrell uses on his desktop. I was pleasantly surprised to find a emerald theme, that looks exactly like it. But There was no GTK theme to go with it, so I made one.

Here are some screenshots ...

Beautiful, just beautiful.

Is this for linux? nice theme btw

@ Yo Yo, this is for the Gnome Desktop Environment, so for Linux indeed.

Can i use this with Windows XP?

This theme works only for the Gnome DE for linux.
No Windows, sorry.

where do i get the wallpaper and excellent work with the theme

Amazing theme i love it....

i did once find a chat client that was more minimal like the one in the film and you could set animation affects for when people log in and log off, i will try and find the link and repost if you could add yr theme to that it was be by far the up most best theme ive seen...

ill search and post the link

I wish that you made it for windows vista!

anyway you can make this into a windows xp theme?? or anyway to convert it? haha

Cmon, isnt any way to run this theme on windows XP? Someone must have a solution...

will it work on Ubuntu 8
or it will mess up every think !!
plZ tell me

I'm using ubuntu 8.10 and it works magicly :)

No it doesn't work on any Windows OS.

My only question, is what font is used in this screenshot?

can you plz tell me how to install it on windows xp..plz

what was the conky setup for this theme? and whic doc did you use?

for windows xp users who would like to use this and other gnome themes on windows xp:
I found an interesting post that explains how to use gnome themes on windows xp here.
I haven't tested it though. Please report :)

1 remark, this method won't display the theme completely on xp, because emerald is needed for the borders. so no orange borders as far as I know.

btw, the font used in the screenshot is 'snap' from the artwiz package
my conkyrc's are here (they are old)

Hi,

I am using RedHat Enterprise Linux 5, I have downloaded the Gnome theme and installed it on my pc.

It hasn't changed my theme, the window decoration is simple, it is displaying the window border normally

Please help me to have the same look shown in the your post.

Thanks in advance,
ABC XYZ

R U F'n SERIOUS?!?!?
So no1 can use tha full theme on XP?

One question after carefully looking at the movie their is a screenshot of his wallpaper it looks to me like a picture of someone like a medusa with eyes?

Dude , how did you even find the wallpaper in the first place ?

Awesome !! ;)

I installed it, but it doesn't change my window borders. what am i doing wrong?

has anyone found the original wallpaper that uses the medusa with the eyes

Great work, love the GTK theme; thanks for the emerald and wallpaper links :)

I was wondering the same thing. Have you had any luck with it yet?

how do you apply these themes and what instant messenger is that??

could you upload your screenlet or gdesklet?

conky is the answer :)

Beautiful pal, great work. ddi you make the wallpaper yourself after looking at the it during the film and re-creating it or ddi you actually find the one they used in the film?

You have to have Emerald installed to use this theme. Ubuntu doesn't come with Emerald by default.

Wicked theme man 8-D

in the film Farrel is not using linux but FreeBSD

hey guy i need help. can someone tell me i whish linux i can install the emerald ???

He's using Linux in the movie. The GNOME top panel is clearly visible on-screen, and you can see him navigate GNOME menus. He also seems to be using Docky.

Programming skills are not necessary to use Linux. It's the 21st Century.

Hey, Im using Ubunut 10.04, and can't get the themes to work, any ideas ?

1.Get Linux.
2.Get theme.
3.Be happy! :)
