Clearlooks
Clearlooks is a theme for GTK+, the main widget toolkit used by the GNOME desktop environment. It is based on Red Hat's Bluecurve theme. It was the default theme for GNOME since version 2.12 until GNOME 3 when it was replaced by Adwaita.[1] Many users have contributed themes that have changed the colors and some visual effects, leading to many derivative themes.

The creators of the Clearlooks GTK+ theme were Richard Stellingwerff and Daniel Borgmann; however, since 2005 the theme has been developed by GNOME, and current developers are Andrea Cimitan and Benjamin Berg.
The current version of Clearlooks uses cairo as a backend. Older releases just use GDK to draw the widgets.
Qt, versions 4.2 to 4.4, use a port of Clearlooks called Cleanlooks to better integrate with GTK applications.[2]
GTK+ 3 Support

Since the departure of the GNOME Project from the development of GNOME 2 and GTK+ 2, a user by the name of jpfleury on Gnome-Look has recreated Clearlooks for GTK+ 3, called Clearlooks-Phenix.[3]
