Ambiance And Radiance Colors Theme Pack Updated With Dark Menus Everywhere, Other Changes [Ubuntu 14.04]

Ambiance & Radiance colors is a theme pack that provides Ambiance and Radiance themes in 9 different colors: blue, brown, graphite, green, orange (different than the one used by default in Ubuntu), pink, purple, red and yellow. The pack supports Unity as well as Xfce and LXDE/OpenBox (it doesn't work very well in GNOME Shell because Ubuntu's Ambiance doesn't either - they don't support client side decorations).

Ambiance Red under GNOME Shell - KKEdit, a GTK2 app uses dark menus (with the default Ambiance theme, the app uses a light menu)

The theme pack was updated recently with some enhancements and bug fixes:

• colored window close buttons are back, as requested by many users;
• dark menus and dropdowns are now used everywhere - for instance, using the stock Ambiance, GTK2 apps / Firefox use light menus (try it with Firefox's context menu for instance);
• various fixes for the Openbox / Xfce themes.

Also, if you liked the previous gray window close button, you can continue to use that by using the "Pro" themes (Ambiance-blue-pro, etc.).
