Hope is based on Ambiance, it started as a modification to match a nice Metacity theme (see the credits), then became an exercise to learn how to make GTK themes, and now we have this.

Known Issues:
The text in Firefox's Awesomebar is unreadable. The panel backgrounds are inconsistent. The theme asks for an unavailable icon theme.
Fixed Issues:
The metacity theme is working fine now. The links color in blue instead of orange. There is a tar.gz file inside, you can drag and drop in the Appearance window.
I seem to have a problem with the controls of your theme. I have Gnome 2 and Murrine installed. I'm running Debian Squeeze. Here's a screenshot: [link] Any clue on how to fix this?
A great theme overall but has a small problem with Ubuntu Unity (haven't seen whether this problem occurs in classic GNOME too). The scrollbar is missing on some sites in Firefox (e.g., DistroWatch) and it's missing completely in LibreOffice. Setting GtkScrollbar::has-backward-stepper and ::has-forward-stepper = 1 and stepperstyle = 3 fixes this but, obviously, the steppers become active. Otherwise, very well done and one of the very few themes to work correctly with the Unity panel and calendar.
~/.themes/Hope/gtk-2.0/apps/gnome-panel.rc:121: error: unexpected character `\', expected string constant
Any ideas?
