Re: GTK Theme for FC7 (was Re: Thinking ahead: some FC7 ideas)
Ah, right. It's been a while since I've fiddled with GNOME and I misundestood: I thought the theme included both bits and we were considering both. My bad, sorry. Asides from the rounded corners to some bits (which, tbh, wouldn't really fit in with the rest, given square buttons etc) I think it's got a professional appearence, quite functional. I don't think the UI should be too pretty as it's such a critical and functional part of the desktop. Just the subtle curves on the button backgrounds s enough to make it pleasant. I'm also for the colouring on the tabs. On 17/10/06, Leo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Let's focus on the gtk2 theme for the moment. I change the metacity theme to Bluecurve. And here is the screenshot.

My bad, sorry. We will consider both, of course. But metacity-theme-2¹ has been in gnome 2.17 and will be in the stable release as well. It will open a new window for themes.

Is it really that odd when the final release date is in two days (19 Oct) ?

I reckon the standard (slightly bolder) fontswould work well with it. I also like rounded corners :) Are these comments on the engine which is called Murrine or the gtk2 theme MurrinaGilouche? The rounded corners belongs to metacity theme, I guess. -- Leo ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

I attached the Murrine engine that I have been using in FC5 so that it's easier for others to try out those themes based on it. *More themes:* http://cimi.netsons.org/pages/murrine/themes.php gtk-murrine-engine-0.13-3.leofc5.i386.rpm Description: gtk-murrine-engine-0.13-3.leofc5.i386.rpm -- Leo ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Please comment on this one. http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/5755/murrinagilouchefz8.png It looks nice. How about changin the sliders making? I would like to get a theme more dynamic similar to this demo: http://www.gnome.org/~seth/blog/xshots Any other theme similar so can get a good comparison?
