Here’s a screenshot of muffin, my current theme.

Blender 2.66 stores a user’s custom themes as XML documents, as in: C:\Users\youtheuser\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.66\scripts\presets\interface_theme\muffin.xml, whereas Blender’s own themes are stored in C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.66\scripts\presets\interface_theme…etc. In any event, blend and xml are not formats that are permitted as attachments in the post and the XML file is too long too include in this post so I can’t pass it on. Yet.

You can attach .blend files to your posts as well as other file formats as a zip file.

That’s so, which I have done on another post in another thread, but for some reason I couldn’t do it in the last one - human error, I guess. Here’s the blend file that’ll give you the same screen as the above .png file. It’s not perfect, but the hard stuff’s done. Enjoy.

It should be noted that the latest release of Blender, version 2.67, stores my muffin user preferences in the C:\Users\youtheuser\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.67\scripts\presets\interface_ theme\muffin.xml where it belongs.

*** update ***

For those who would like to read all of the text in the file browser with the muffin theme selected I’ve made some corrections. These can be implemented (I presume) by pasting the following element after where it is found in muffin.xml and then deleting the old <file_browser> element…

&lt;file_browser&gt;
      &lt;ThemeFileBrowser selected_file="#ff8c19"
                                                   scrollbar="#a0a0a0"
                                                   scroll_handle="#7f7070"
                                                   active_file="#7a634b"
                                                   active_file_text="#fafafa"&gt;
           &lt;space&gt;
                 &lt;ThemeSpaceGeneric back="#827962"
                                     title="#000000"
                                                                 text="#fafafa"
                                                                  text_hi="#000000"
                                                                  header="#977e59"
                                                                  header_text="#000000"
                                                                  header_text_hi="#ff8115"
                                     button_title="#000000"
                                     button="#7243177f"
                                     button_text="#000000"
                                     button_text_hi="#ffffff"&gt;
                      &lt;panelcolors&gt;
                             &lt;ThemePanelColors header="#00000002"
                                                                          back="#7238007f"
                                                                          show_header="FALSE"
                                                                          show_back="TRUE"&gt;
                             &lt;/ThemePanelColors&gt;
                       &lt;/panelcolors&gt;
                 &lt;/ThemeSpaceGeneric&gt;
            &lt;/space&gt;
           &lt;space_list&gt;
                &lt;ThemeSpaceListGeneric list="#665a42"
                                                                         list_title="#000000"
                                                                         list_text="#ffa718"
                                                                         list_text_hi="#ffffff"&gt;
                &lt;/ThemeSpaceListGeneric&gt;
           &lt;/space_list&gt;
      &lt;/ThemeFileBrowser&gt;
&lt;/file_browser&gt;

There are probably more corrections, but this is still a good beginning.

Oh, what the heck. Here is a complete version of muffin. I got distracted and that took me away from finishing it up, but this one’s pretty much done.
