What the Bisigi Project lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality. After coming across a theme of theirs in Gnome-look I was went to their website, and was hooked. As of now, I have tried:

• Exotic
• Wild-shine
• Tropical
• Aquadreams
• Bamboo Zen
• Step Into Freedom
• Ubuntu Sunrise
• balanzan (formerly known as Ubuntu-fr)
• Infinity (I used the old version)

I loved them all, though my favorite by far was Bamboo Zen, which works really well with the Google Chrome theme Zen Spring. A screenshot of my desktop is below:

Here are some themes that I haven’t tried yet:

• Showtime
• Orange
• Ellanna
• Air Lines

As of today, there are 13 themes on their website. Back when I first found them (not exactly sure when) they only had nine. So, they don’t crank out themes every day, but they do keep their current themes up-to-date and when a new theme does come out, you can be sure that it was very well thought out.

Badschemer is an opensource program designed by David Brown which offers an intuitive gui for creating and editing of gEdit style schemes.

Instructions on downloading this application can be viewed here.

I have submitted three patches to Badschemer that can be downloaded below. The first patch is necessary for those using Badschemer 1.0.1 on Karmic Koala, but it has already been included in the November release of Badschemer 1.0.2. The second patch adds the “right-margin” coloring description to the application and the third removes a warning. Make sure to add the “right-margin” patch before adding the warning patch.

A screenshot of gEdit demonstrating the right-margin patch is below.

• Duplicate Label IDs *
• Adding “right-margin” description
• Format argument warning
