Greybird is dual-licensed as GPLv2 or later and CC-BY-SA 3.0 or later.
Greybird is the default theme in Xubuntu 11.04 onwards.
The Greybird desktop suite includes:
- Gtk+2 theme
- Gtk+3 theme
- Xfwm4 themes (normal and compact)
- xfce-notifyd theme (dark and bright)
- Emerald theme
- Metacity theme
- Mutter theme
- Gnome Shell theme
- Plank theme
- Unity support
Dependencies for Gtk+2 support:
- gtk2-engines-murrine (>= 0.90)
The Gtk+3 theme uses the builtin engine and consequently has no dependencies.
