PRIORITIES: * Readability over pretty. * Quick Contextual recognition over pretty. * Readability over real estate efficiency of the screen. * Quick clickability over pretty. * Keystroke access over not bothering to program same. TIPS: * Noticibly different color titlebar for focused window. * Reasonable sized titlebars with big devices like close, max, hide and windowshade. * Window designs capable of functioning with big fonts. * NO FRIGGIN TRANSPARENCY! * Instantly noticible borders. I use 2px cyan borders on the focused window. * Text with big contrast. Black on white, black on f0f0f0, black or darkblue on ffffcc, or white, bright yellow or bright green on black are ideal. * Never assume red and green will contrast with each other: Red/green color blindness is the most common form of color blindness. * Ideally, the text should still contrast if all color is converted to shades of gray. * Active buttons should be instantly recognizable (Firefox hang your head in shame). * Bold mouse pointer. Mouse tracks are nice, but I haven't seen them in years. Normal people can continue using normal themes, but people like me need what's described above. I have such a theme, but the problem is it bears absolutely no resemblance to other Devuon themes, and also, it's built from other themes so it's kind of a mess.
