Topcontactlistbg sets the background for the log-in text widget, which
it really shouldn't!!
I will have a look into this.

Hi,
a bug with the aDarwin skin.. and I guess many others :
open the CL, drag/drop your mouse in order to select text, like if it
was a chatwindow... and yes, it does select... I think the default
skin has the same problem, only the background and the select color
is too close to be noticed normally...
we might need to add somehting like -highlitecolor $contactlistbg
can someone check this ?

Thnx to all for your comments on aDarwin V.4 and Unified I just want
to say some things about those:
1.- The blue thing between personal info and the list an illusion
and it is just like list headers in Mac OS X I wish I could make it
work for real that way I should be able to sort contacts just by
clicking it (alphabetically, reverse, online, offline, mixed).
2.- The name is "unified" to fit the unified look of Aqua windows in
Mac OS X (I hate brushed metal windows) just like the BG is blue to
fit the side bar of unified windows and the buttons are the same
style... I have months working on a Unified-GTK theme with the same
style I'm just going to change window borders for the metacity
theme. you can see how Mahjongg looks here --
http://www.secchio.com.mx/daniel/unifiedamsn.jpg -- that will give
you an idea of what I was really trying with Unified skin for aMSN
but I couldn't place an image behind the personal info part of the
CL and that's why it doesn't blends that well with the window
border... You can read the whole story of that here:
http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10041
and here:
http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10041
BTW. I've fixed the button thing there.
Also I have made some changes to the Ubuntu GKT theme to make it
look the same in every application. One thing I hate about GTK is
that almost every icon theme is incomplete and doing toolbar buttons
the way I'm proposing will make the look more consistent since it
wont matter if the icon theme is complete or not... there should be
a "nicer" way to do that but that's the easiest ... but that's
another story... lets move on with aMSN.
3.- The blue bar at the top of the chatwindows is the same color as
"spotlight" bars in Mac... I had other Ideas but in the actual
skinning system I'm able only to overlay a pixmap over the BG color
of that bar... I think the overlay should be optional that way every
state cold have a pixmap of it's own or use it as it is now.
4.- the icons used for the unified list are alike the icons used in
every other messenger in Mac since iChat... I really don't like
those too much... As I've said before, that skin is an attempt to
make it look more like a "native" application...
Why aDarwin and Unified are made that way... well it is because I
hate to have different a look for every application I like my
applications looking the same (which is not related in any way with
icon themes) and I think both themes fits someway in the Mac way of
presenting applications just like Ubuntu(human) theme fits somehow
with Ubutu's GTK theme .. at the end it will be user choice to use
one or the other.
5.- I like the hover color or highlight idea for the contact list,
in fact that was the idea when I did aDarwin for the first time but
it seems to be impossible (at least for me as a no-code guy) with
the actual skinning system... I don't like "underlines" to highlight
things nor Bold/plain.
6.- I'm all for the modular skins system, that way you could use
what you like for the CL and mix it with what you like for chat
windows and smilies, text in CL and chatwindows can have a default
color depending on the skin but the user should be able to change
that color and the highlight color too.
Both skins –aDarwin specially, now is in V.4 after almost 3 years–
had gone through many changes since I first did them and I'm
regularly changing things to make them look better you can be sure
that those skins will change as we have more control on what can be
displayed through skins that's why I asked before to add skins to
the update system.
I'm also deeper on skinning linux and have some ideas for aMSN but
many of those can't be done ... yet... lets wait for the new GUI =)
BTW, you can see where the idea for the aDarwin
name/icons/colors/why came from: http://www.hexley.com/
