[Bug 39092] Re: Draggable/non-draggable areas are indistinguishable in background windows

2006-04-25 Thread Daniel Borgmann
Sigh... This is the reason why I've never done it before in Clearlooks themes. 
But it's popular, it looks great and it has always been like this in the Human 
(and Industrial) theme, so I finally gave in and implemented this for Human. 
Since this only affects unfocused windows (and even when you are confused by 
it, a single click on the window will sort out the confusion right away), this 
is hardly a critical problem.

In other words, the pros and cons are known and have been weighted against each 
other, so this is a design decision. Of course one that can always be 
discussed. Personally, I'd rather see Gtk "fixed" to allow moving by clicking 
on the background.

[Bug 39216] Re: Progress bar too thick for status bar

2006-04-11 Thread Daniel Borgmann
Firefox doesn't show a "narrower style" of the progress bar, it has its own 
progress bar implementation which just looks like a Gtk progress bar.

This is not a theme issue AFAICT, the applications should probably be fixed 
individually. Epiphany apparently solved the problem by forcing the status bar 
to be high enough to contain the progress bar even when the progress bar is 
hidden. Applications can also adjust the size of the progress bar, as can be 
seen in XChat.

[Bug 38741] Re: Little glitch on nautilus' right hand scrollbar

2006-04-08 Thread Daniel Borgmann
This must be caused by the new extra widget thingy in Nautilus, because the 
line changed its color when I changed the color of this widget in Human. So 
it's a Nautilus bug.

[Bug 25502] Re: new window when restarted

2006-04-07 Thread Daniel Borgmann
In the "Current Session" tab of the session preferences, Nautilus is listed 
with the plain "nautilus" command, which certainly should open a window. I 
assume that Nautilus is initially launched with a certain parameter (since no 
window appears) and that parameter probably should be used for the session 
restart command if that's possible. My gnome-volume-manager is listed with 
"--sm-disable", so it seems to be possible.

[Bug 35033] difficult to see selections in Nautilus

2006-03-24 Thread Daniel Borgmann
Public bug report changed:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/35033

Comment:
If we tone down the orange, it will have even less effect on the button color. 
Since we use a light selection color with black text (unlike the old Human 
theme, which used inverted text), I'm not sure if we can do anything about this.

I don't think it's a big problem, since the icon shading is not the primary 
means to spot whether an icon is selected or not. Also it should only effect 
the orange folder buttons and even on those the difference can still be seen on 
the white part behind the folder flap.

[Bug 5326] Show hidden files does not show files ending with '~'

2006-03-24 Thread Daniel Borgmann
Public bug report changed:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/5326

Comment:
The behavior is like this for me:

[Spatial Windows]
- As long as I didn't toggle visibility of hidden files via the menu, toggling 
the preference option works as expected.
- Toggling the menu option has no immediate effect and once I toggled it once, 
the preference option has no effect either (probably because it's overridden by 
the menu option). 
- Reloading has no effect either, but closing and opening the window updates 
backup file visibility correctly.

[Browser Windows]
- Here I can't get the menu option to have any effect whatsoever, but the 
preference option works as expected as long as I _don't_ touch the menu option.
- Once I used the menu option, I have to close and open the window again with 
the preference option _enabled_ to make it work again.

That's pretty screwded up.

[Bug 35563] Scrollbars too little in Acrobat Reader

2006-03-21 Thread Daniel Borgmann
Public bug report changed:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/35563

Comment:
We already do this, but acrobat ignores the setting since it doesn't use
Gtk directly. But what we probably can and should do is to hide the
little dots when there is not enough space for them. I'll look into this
soon.

We recently made the scrollbar background darkground, which should

Comment:
I don't really think it's a theme issue, since it is just a definition
file and I don't see how a theme could screw this up in a such a non-
reproducable way (I've never seen it on my computer). I've also heard
from someone that it worked fine for him again after creating a new
user, so it might be caused by certain configurations.

[Bug 34796] Monochrome alternative to default theme

2006-03-13 Thread Daniel Borgmann
Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34796

Affects: ubuntu-artwork (Ubuntu)
   Severity: Normal
   Priority: (none set)
 Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
I suggest we ship a desaturated alternative metatheme to the current
orange default, to satisfy those who don't like the orange (or any color
for that matter). The advantage of using a monochrome version is that it
has a high chance to be tolerable and that it won't bite with all the
orange elements that are left (like icons, wallpaper, etc).

[Bug 34428] Titlebar buttons should be wider

2006-03-11 Thread Daniel Borgmann
Public bug report changed:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34428

Comment:
You want to leave most space for the titlebar text. I also don't find
that aesthetically pleasing at all. Fitt's law is just one of many
aspects to consider. With small windows, the buttons could even be too
large to fit. Another problem is, that the same aspect ratio is being
used for the menu icon, so it would waste a lot of space for just a
small square icon.
