Top 18 Professional Linux GTK Themes
Published: Jun 10, 2009
One of the often touted best features of Linux is one's ability to manipulate the system to meet their personal needs and tastes. One of the ways this is done is via themes, GTK being one such variation. For business users, those who want to give Linux a good impression amongst those who may see it, or if you simply want a sleek theme that goes well with your lifestyle, below you'll find 18 professional GTK themes for your system.
1. Kupo Finale
This theme is pure beauty. With sharp edges, smooth gradients, and unobtrusive windows, this GTK theme shows that minimalist doesn't have to mean bland, and that professional can has a style all of its own.
2. Elegant Brit
With sharp contrasts and a color scheme that blends well with the background of the image, you will be able to appreciate the beauty of this theme while enjoying its out-of-the-way design.
3. VistaBut 1.2
So some individuals might complain about the merits of having a theme that makes Linux look just like Vista, but remember that an operating system is not its looks. This theme looks very similar to Windows Vista, and is quite professional.
4. Ubuntu Dust
This theme will satisfy your needs for dark colors while simultaneously presenting your desktop in a professional manner.
5. OSX Tiger
In line with the VistaBut theme, this one presents the Mac desktop for those who find it sleek and professional but want Linux as their system.
6. GTK-QT
This theme looks quite nice on a KDE desktop, featuring smooth beveled buttons and a soft silver coloring.
7. Catartica
Just because a theme is smooth and professional doesn't mean it has to look like it belongs to a 65-year-old CEO. Catartica, though its name reminds me of cataracts, is a nice splash of modern youth combined with easy-on-the-eye graphics and an a smooth look that would be appropriate for any office.
8. Murrina X-2
This theme adds the benefit of minimalism to the professional look.
9. Khali
This beauty is definitely a dark theme, and is as smooth as it is bold. With a dark checkered background and borders that are as simple as they are dark, this theme is an excellent option.
10. Candido
Candido looks like a dream, perhaps because of its excellent background or simple icons. It doesn't draw attention to itself, but instead stands proud of what it is in--a sleek, simple theme.
11. Perfect Gnome Suite
This theme is for those who like everything light in color: light background, light icons, light menus. Its background is simple and plain, while its large, almost cartoonish icons give a bold statement.
12. Wii Black
This is the perfect theme for someone who works in a slightly relaxed environment. With the menus closed, it is like any other minimalist dark theme; maximize some windows, however, and there's just enough fun going to make you smile.
13. Aero Clone
This theme is for any of you who work in a strick workplace where the slightest deviation from the norm is frowned upon. Upon a quick glance--or even a slightly longer one--this theme looks just like Windows Vista, and will keep the difference-phobes calm.
14. Raptor
Looks pretty, no?
15. Hardy Theme
This theme is for those who like the default Ubuntu theme, but want it a little more spruced up.
16. Blue Joy
This theme is classic Linux with a professional blue background and black menus.
17. Moomex
With a name like Moomex, who can resist? This theme is average on Gnome, but looks outstanding as KDE.
18. Black Diamond
Though this is a dark theme, it doesn't appear that way, with a bright blue background and shiny bars. A nice mix of modern feel and unobtrusive graphics.

Eh, Slickness is better than Raptor. Very cool theme (I use it right now) is ClearGlow.
