Makes Gmail (new version) dark, but with lots of shiny graphics.
**If anyone wants to help contribute some code to fix any unthemed parts or problems please contact me. Also, if anyone wants to fork this theme and make their own, please do so but let me know so I can check it out! Thanks **
11-26-08: Fixed header of the settings screen
11-21-08: Fixed a few issues on main screen due to some changes with the introduction of Gmail themes
10-18-08: Fixed the top button bar when composing; fixed chat box
8-15-08: Fixed: inbox background back to the shiny image
8-7-08: Fixed some text color issues in the Contacts screen
8-1-08: Fixed compose area, added the Collapse All and other links on the right-side when viewing an e-mail
7-25-08: Menus are themed, and a handful of more tweaks
7-11-08: Fixed FF3 related issues, and almost everything is fixed now.
7-3-08: Fixed/tweaked, changed some graphics images. Got some help from RagingShinigami from his "Dark Shiny Blue, transparency fixes" style which helped identify some tags for me. I also now use Firebug which is also helping me greatly. Enough of the style has changed that I need to get another screenshot when I have time (one below is out-dated)
Known issues: -Firefox 3 - buttons are using native OS buttons (I need to restyle them)
- text in text fields is white on white
- a few random spots need fixing/tweaking, when I have time.
5-3-08: Fixed/tweaked, changed some graphics images.
Known issues: -underline across the top links shows up (how to hide?)
-labels surrounding box is white (need to find how to set it to transparent)
-sometimes the background image doesn't show up (hosting issues?)
-FireFox 3 Beta 5: New buttons for Search and Archive, etc. aren't showing up (native buttons show instead)
1-8-08: Finally got the labels box showing and not looking like crap.
Created by modifying and tweaking code from these original themes:
-Dark Gmail (New Gmail) by srazzano
-painted black - google + gmail (Nov2007) (ALL) theme by whatrevolution
Used some existing graphics from above themes, and created original graphics (currently hosted on picassa, which may crap out)
I really like what you've done, except that the email text is difficult to read, a bit dark with too much glare. Maybe this could be modified.
This works great with my Midnightfox theme and Shiki theme for gnome.
-Thanks
Nice, but the transparency over the page is a bit much. Also, I don't like styles that link to external images. Please consider embeding the images using encoding. Someone really should write a tool that would do that automatically.
Awesome! But is there anyway to fix the transparency issues in the chat window?
ttt
Great work. Thank you.
greeaaat work!! =] .hope one day to see this in other colors as well
I have just discovered Stylish, and this is my very first installed style. I must say this is one sexy @ss style!! Gorgeous! I'm actually going to start checking my gmail on the web rather than my email app. Thanks for making : )
I think this is a great style but could you change the font color for composing mail because black on that background simply is very difficult to read. Maybe the blue you used for the compose mail button or such (just for uniformity sake).
I really like this style a lot. But like so many other styles I have noticed lately, this one in particular has eliminated the 'expand' (and 'collapse') functionality(s). Is there any chance you might restore these functions (ie --- what this does is makes an easy way to find an individual message within a conversation (specifically those conversations which contain too many messages to simply play the 'guess by clicking' game, which is what you must do by default when there is no 'expand' button). I suppose there may be a keyboard shortcut which would solve this problem, but I do not use keyboard shortcuts, nor do I plan to anytime soon. It really makes me wonder why so many styles here like this one are devoid of this functionality.
Also it would be really great to have a slightly lighter font style color for composing messages.
Otherwise, keep up the great work!
Thanks!
I really like this. There is just one problem The Archive buttons do not show up correctly for me. Please see screenshot here: http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/639/gmailqo8.jpg

Nice stuff. best gmail theme out there. needs some fixes though.
here they are: http://userstyles.org/styles/7513
feel free to shove those into your style changing them however you want. if you want the images they're originals of mine, so you can re-use them how you wish, or just get rid of them and use your own.
my email is captainjohnmurphy@gmail.com, so communicate bout any of this if you wish to.
Absolutely brilliant. If you're looking for a darker theme which actually works on the current gmail interface, you have to choose this or "Gmail Redesigned" -- but this is much, much easier on the eyes. GOOD WORK!
I like this skin a lot. The problem I have is when I use it, I get a bunch of little black arrows all along the more actions box. Any ideas on why??
I'm liking this a lot but when I load it, the background works but the rest of it goes funny ie, the side bar and the inbox. Any ideas?
Now this rocks !! You did a great job on this.
My background is all dark when I use this. How do I get it to be all blue in the background like in the sample pic?
Could my dark background be caused by my dark Gmail sign in screen?
Thanks.
I think this is one of the prettiest themes out there but it has some problems that keeps me from using it:
1. When reloading the browser, the buttons disappear.
2. The chat window for Googletalk grays out the text in the chat window forcing one to pop the box out.
3. The users in chat do not show up online with the green dot.Otherwise I would be so using this skin!
Wow, Awesome, & Amazing!!
I have been using the "painted black google & gmail all" scrip, but this one is in a different league. I love the fact you didn't force us to us this with Google search and this doesn't have the issues with the rich text editor. Plus, this is just amazing!!!!! Thank you.
One idea, if you could allow the users to choose a color theme, you would win the best Gmail Skin in the world prize! Thank you so much for your work.
This is terrific...really beautiful.
A couple of requests:
- Highlight the entire line when a conversation is selected by checkbox
- Different text color for input boxes with black/gray vs. white backgrounds
THANKS!
So beautiful, I hope to see this adapted for other google sites. I have to turn off painted black for this to work, which makes igoogle boring. Please do igoogle! Thanks!
This is a fab looking script but I'm desperately dependent on my labels box........please tell us how to bring it back! I'd love to use this!
Fabulous style... Another vote for the return of the labels box, however!
I love this design. It is better than anything that I have ever seen for gmail. The one thing that I am not too fond of, is the disappearance of the labels box. I do not use the box to often, so it is not that big a deal, but it would be nice to have. Thanks for this.
looks very nice.....how about one for google reader too!!!!! it looks better on the screen than in the picture
