The author has marked this style as obsolete.
if you want the source email me - zathman at gmail dot com - and you can carry on the torch, just too busy to keep it up
Note: Due to time constraints and the speed at which Google seems to change their page codes I am unable to keep up with updating Dark Google. If you would like to contribute to DarkGoogle, please get in contact with me.

very good job, i don't like the logo too much though, the real google logo would be better or something else. i like the background and color scheme a lot though!
looking forward to seeings this updated as it looks like its been a long while now. keep up the good work! ( just noticed you arent continuing on this anymore, i hope someone steps up to continue your great work!)

mail looks half skinned and hidious, and it only works for google.com, not others eg .co.nz

Beautiful... So far, the only thing that's lacking for me is when using Google Suggest; the 'suggested' items in the drop-down are white-on-white, only visible when highlighted with the cursor. Maybe it has to do with my WindowBlinds and/or Firefox theme?
Examples:

** KEN: thanks a lot for the "Suggest" fix! It works perfectly... **

This is very nice! I love it a lot.
As for the Google Suggest problem from sjw's post , here is a quick fix:
Add these two lines:
div[class="mAutoComplete"]{background-color: black !important; opacity: 0.9 !important}
div[class="aAutoComplete"] {background-color: transparent !important; color: red !important;}
After this line:
@-moz-document domain("google.com") {

As for google calendar...try using this as a temporary fix
@-moz-document url-prefix("https://www.google.com/calendar/render") {
font, div {
color:black ! important;
text-decoration: none ! important;}
}
It has made almost everythign legible for me

I love this only 2 things that bother me, when i use google through the searchbar in firefox the skin dosent apply to google, and it applies only partly to google calender and makes it difficult to use and read. Is there a way to disable the theme in google calander?

Very nice! I like the cool gradient.
BTW, I'm not sure what you mean with 'What module are you using to shade your modules?' in your comment on DarkGoogle. I use Aardvark <http://karmatics.com/aardvark/> a lot to analyze pages, or I do a 'view source' to get at the stylesheet. I made the google logos by simply inverting the colors of the originals. and I use <http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/cgi/data/data> to generate base64 code to embed directly in the css. HTH!
--- update ---
Oh, now I get it! It's a module called 'Collapsable Modules' (sic); it's really useful!

Very nice! I like this one.
smoovie said on Jul 21 2006
WOW! That is a damn nice Google. Really nice. The most complete one I've seen yet. Thank you for this. Do you think you could make the GOOGLE more like the DARKSTYLES.net logo? More steel like? Thanks. :)

great!!!, looks amazing!, would you do something like this for gmail?, please!
hansschmucker said on Jul 09 2006
I created a small fork based on this, because I didn't like some of it's behavior on IG. Changes to the code are very small, but I think it makes all the difference :) . If you don't like forks being created based on your theme, just say so.
