Re: [ubuntu-art] Stop kickin' the dead horse - Create a full Union GTK theme.

I've tackled Emerald, I'll be honest and say "I suck" when it comes to the live conversion, so it could probably be done better. I'll post what I have done tomorrow the moment I get at my regular development machine (traveling). I'll also make a variation with an opaque content arera in case Cimis'

[ubuntu-art] Stop kickin' the dead horse - Create a full Union GTK theme.

I'm going to try to mimick Ken's mockups as close as I can with a true gtk theme. If anyone here would like to help out with it email and we can take it offline. I'll start using the pixmap engine for things I can't get any current themes to make then attempt to alter some other engines to do

"Ooh, what's that one?" OSX is long held as one of the boldest and most unique designs in the industry, when Windows was just toying with XP - Apple made the ultra-shiny, over-glossed look and threw in every effect they could think of and paired it with a pinstripe. If you look at OSX now, compare

Re: [ubuntu-art] Moving things forwards.

No author of any theme is remotely aware of whether or not their submission will make it into the final product. I don't know that, if I turn one of my themes into a full-out GTK with Emerald and Metacity, my time will have been worth it. While we are all aware that Mark will decide the final them

I think votes are valuable. Not for seeing who likes a theme but rather who hates it. Any overly stylised theme is going to polarise people into love it/hate it camps which should be avoided at all cost. Ideally a default theme should not be even noticed by the public - being neutral and inn

Re: [ubuntu-art] Usage of Blur...

By default, I don't believe so, but if the art team makes something that might be considered worthwhile - the argument could probably be made to support blur by default on powerful-enough machines. I'm unsure of who would make that decision in the end - possibly Mark, I don't know. On Jan 2, 2008
