new xml themes work…
i was getting an error just like the other person before.
now it works with the thew DL
i still may roll with the default theme…(im so used to it now) 
hi aermartin,
Your theme is really great 
I’ve made a few changes & updated to your latest version.
here’s the xml file for latest svn: softblend_by_martin_lindelof_2
also I like crouch’s theme, here’s an update for that one too, nodes & movie editor:
zen_crouch_theme
Update: checked, and the version in the main download is already the updated one from yesterday.
but so this post isn’t a waste i posted a screenshot of how the theme looks with stock ambiance vs the “ambiance evolved” i was using in the previous screenshots.
also i’m not sure if i mentioned this, but in order for the info header to blend perfectly into the widow decorations, right click on the info header, and click"flip to top". do this with all of your interface presets.
and by the way. all the themes are awesome, i love the preset system, just being able to flip to a different theme if i’m in a different mood.
previous message: Wow cool thanks. Just FYI, as of yesterday I updated/finished the ubuntu theme
there were a couple editors that had some off colors. the main thing is that I finally found the right color that makes the info header the same as the window decorations when the mouse is not over it. Since blender shades the color when the mouse is not over it, it was hard to find the exact color that worked. And before it was just the slightest bit off. If you downloaded the version with “1.0” at the end of the filename then you have the right one.

Hi Meta. I see that my theme was accepted. Thank you.
Btw, I updated my theme. Addons section was too dark to read…
Old:
New:
Here is the updated theme:
Is the new interface themes supposed to work in 2.61? ( Version r42615 ) Because I’ve tried installing the XML scripts and no joy. My OS is Windows 7 32 bit.
thanks for the updates ikeahloe & demohero
GLakie, the new themes is only in most recent builds & will be in 2.62
holy crappers i just tried a recent build and the implementation is really slick.
all the themes look great. It’s funny i was comparing maya 2011 with maya blender preset next to each other. they looked like brothers.
great job! who all planned and worked on this implementation?
hi ikeahloe, the infrastructure was put together by ideasman & i have been converting the themes.
With help from Unhurdof & others choosing themes 
I updated your theme, in editmode the mesh wire is now purple so it’s more visable.
Just let me know if you have any updates.
Recent updates to svn: 43361
Fixes to tool tips where possible, at least making them more visible.
Edit mode fix for Ubuntu
Re-Theming of Softblend by Martin Lindelof: many changes, same basic theme with more contrast & a fully shaded interface.

Hi all,
Just noticed the new Theme Presets tab in user preferences. This is great and all that, but it currently does not have an option to import or export themes that has already been made in xml format from the export button that user to be in recent blender builds…
This is needed, if we want to make it easier to share themes.
Big bug step backwards in flexibility.
hi, I’ve fixed the 8 themes in svn.
I’ll upgrade the rest this week.
thanks.
hey i liked the purple change for edit mode (Ubuntu Ambiance), somehow that slipped past me. thanks for noticing. BUT i thought it was still really hard to see the camera or anything without faces. i made it a lighter purple that is very easy to see against both the dark background and against light stuff like meshes.
other little changes:
I made the compositing nodes easier to see, and added colors to the different node types to help people visually organize things.
also, the bug where the “User Interface”>“Regular” color/shading setting don’t export is gone, so I fixed that as well which really makes me happy.
lastly, the Ubuntu theme that it’s meant to fit with is “Ambiance” (correct) vs “Ambience” (incorrect)
I tried to name it just liked you had it (Theme Ubuntu Ambiance) so you didn’t have to do anything but replace the file, here is the updated theme.

ikeahloe,
hi, thanks for the update.
Unfortunately all themes broke recently due to api changes.
I’ve fixed the 8 in svn.
I had to enable them in older blender the save as user default, then transfer the startup.blend to new blender & it worked…
svn revision 43396
or after would be best to update your theme.
if you need help, feel free to drop in to irc freenode#blenderpython for a chat.
hi, fairly sure themes api wont change anymore (themes shouldnt break now).
@AIBlender, option to import/export is gone - this is just something that Presets dont do, you can copy them into/out of the presets dir (same area as startup.blend is saved).
Just a quick update of my theme to the new presets thing.
It’s an xml and since the new presets doesn’t have an easy way to import the xml files yet, to install just copy dim_wasp_rev_3.xml file to:
.blender/2.61/scripts/presets/interface_theme
Then restart Blender and you should be able to select the theme from the presets list.
Seriously there need to be an easier way to share themes with the new preset system. Not being able to import with a button really isn’t good.

I meant that this issue isnt spesific to theme presets - you also cant easily share render/cloth/sss… presets either.
This will probably get added though, just not planned short term.
@meta-androcto hi! thanks for adding and exporting my theme I totally missed this is a new format, xml.
are there any more theme options? with this new implementation contra Crouch script?
some things I noticed dunno if they’re exposed via API, the outline is a bit sharp on my theme, I could fix this or meta-androcto but it looks like me it’s the same default color it might be missing in theme?
also, are you able to set 3d opengl lights? (quite nice to be able to theme)
and the custom color ramp, these two things where themable via Crouchs theme_manager.py which was nice IMO.
blender has a data structure called ‘Theme’. weight paint colors are not stored here, same with opengl lights.
I rather not have users editing options (like object draw size or opengl colors) overwritten.
BUT - if some color (like sculpt overlay) needs to be adjusted along with the theme to be usable, then we better move that setting into the ‘Theme’ data.
edit: harsh outlines was an error I made, fixed in recent builds, Alpha of arrows & ticks can be adjusted now.
okej, nice fix @ideasman42
Im browing the Theme RNA in outliner, test this.
Active Section -> select, works instantly.
but Active Theme Area dropdown selection, only updates when mouse hoovers over the presets buttons in user settings. a small bug I guess that User Prop > Theme doesn’t /redraw/ when selecting in Outliner Active Theme Area dropdown menu.
you can theme icon file but how will it be distributed with trunk?
btw I love the 2.4X theme ^^ it’s quite charming still…
actually i think i updated the theme with revision 43404 (update every day from svn ppa). i just saved it as the name “Theme Ubuntu Ambiance” and grabbed it from the “.blender/2.61/scripts/presets/interface_theme” folder. So I think the theme should work fine. On the current revision, if i put the xml into the theme folder, it appears and works well. Let me know if the problems still apply to this situation, and if not, let me know if you think the changes help visibility.
