I agree I want a black theme but there surten applications that wont work because you can bearly see the text so a black theme with white background for apps would be perfect

i totally agree , could anybody develop a way to have a black theme , but be able to specify what color you want the text to be? i use the adria app myself , what id like to see is i guess you could call it an industrial type theme , dark grey/black plates with rivets. kinda know what i mean?

Well, I don't know why the .debs won't work for certain themes (like NuvoBlack), but if you extract the files from them, and copy them to the appropriate locations manually, it works just fine.

If anyone's curious, here's how I did it (I'll use NuvoBlack.deb as an example):

Create a new directory, and put the theme (in .deb form) in it:
Code:
mkdir nuvoblack
cp NuvoBlack.deb nuvoblack/
Move into that directory:
Code:
cd nuvoblack
Extract the files:
Code:
dpkg-deb -x NuvoBlack.deb ./
Copy the files where they need to go (note the periods in this command, they're important:
Code:
cp -rfp ./usr/share/themes/NuvoBlack/ /usr/share/themes
cp -rfp ./home/user/.opera/skin/NuvoBlack.zip /home/user/.opera/skin/
You're done! Activate the theme like you normally would.

Feel free to let me know if I've overlooked anything.

Oh, on a slightly unrelated note, does the Plankton theme have a background that comes with it? The stock 4 that come with the device are ok, but none of them really go well with the theme.

Question for you. I repackaged the NuvoBlack theme as well (link here), but I'm having an issue with the scroll buttons looking wonky under Opera (Mozilla is unaffected). I know it's something in the /home/user/.opera/skin/NuvoBlack.zip file, but for the life of me, I don't know what. Did you get around that?

That's weird. All I did was take the original, expand the files, and then repack them. People were complaining that it causes Opera to crash, which I verified. Odd. Oh well.
