It was improved a lot, especiallyregarding performance.I upgraded only gtk2-engines-clearlooks package and Clearlooks has disapeared from theme menu.. so I upgraded gnome-themes and Clearlooks appeared again. I did the same test procedure as mentioned before:I see that progress animation is off and performance is similar to simple theme, except of Xorg process (it still takes about 7-10%), so it seems much better.Now I am a bit worried that gnome-theme is from gnome-2.12 and the rest of my gnome is still 2.10, but it looks stable so far.In the future, if some will still want that animated progress bar, could you put it as an option somewhere in gconf-editor?Thanks for great work! mariusp.s. redraw after desktop switch seems also to be faster (I don't see the background flashing for a moment if it is covered by windows).the active window title and active menu colors seems to be darker, giving better contrast, very nice!

Bug#345073: gtk2-engines-clearlooks: option to disable progress bar animation
Package: gtk2-engines-clearlooks Version: 0.6.2-1 Severity: wishlist I really like this engine and theme, but it appears that progress bar animation hack sucks way too much CPU on my otherwise idle time. I noticed this when application has several progress bars (like gaim logon, firefox page loading). And I do open many firefox tabs when reading news, so that they load until I read one of them. For my P4-M 2G laptop 6 progress bars is enough to take almost all CPU, and this is just idle time, when nothing is really happening. It is even worse than that: the CPU consumption does not cease if the progress bar is not visible (behind other window or in inactive desktop). I looked at top and compared the idle performance (when I do nothing else but watch/read and don't touch anything) of two btdownloadgui in Simple theme and Clearlooks theme: 1) in simple theme each btdownloadgui takes about 3-5% and Xorg is also about 4%. 2) in Clearlooks theme each btdownloadgui 10-12% and Xorg 11%. I did not notice any change in other process (without progress bars). In extreme cases this even interrupts music play. So now, what I do is renice such greedy processes, but this does not work for Xorg process and certainly does not help conserve the heat and power. In conclusion: too much animation is a step back for desktop. I would appreciate any method of turning this feature off. thanks -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14.4-b1 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages gtk2-engines-clearlooks depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.3-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit hi libc6 2.3.5-9GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.4-2The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.9-2The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.10.1-2 Layout and rendering of internatio gtk2-engines-clearlooks recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
