I see it pop up time and time again that Linux or Free Software isn't
doing YYY or XXX because it is 'hackish'.  We end up wallowing in
Windows95 tech on more than a few fronts because of it.  Animated icons,
animated progress bars, etc. - all progressive ideas that have been
quashed by the status quo because we don't have an 'official' way to do it.

Ubuntu and many other Free Software branches seek to hit mainstream and
hit it hard.  This means that we _must_ let go of some of the
perfectionism and get the things that matter into the eyes of the people
who care.

Free Software should be a bastion of innovation, not a reclusive attic
of stale mothballs.

Patch the code.  Kludge it out when we have no other option.  Let the
progression happen.

I'm the Clearlooks developer (yes Murrine too :P ), my friend Benzea is
the Maintainer of Clearlooks, and he is the author of the eXperience
engine :D
So we will implement (he is the right guy to do this) this feature the
day we get a sane way to do it, without the hackish way in eXperience.
Another *huge* problem is that menuitems don't get shadows, so the whole
menu will always look ugly, except an highly decentered shadow like in
your sceenshot.
(I'm using centered shadows, with 0 x-y offset, like a lot of huys... so
this feature without shadow on menuitems will cause just glitches)

NO, please NO yet another engine. I was totally against the decision of
xlcheese to publish his patch as another engine and I will against a
similar idea.
Many years ago was created a tool, called DIFF, do publish your patches
in a clean and simple way.
Just attach your patch for Clearlooks, Murrine or whatever.
In a future, if the patch is sane and we agree (in the meaning it's not
hackish and it will work with compiz/shadows), that thing could be part
of Gnome.
It's so useless to publish a fork with more than 95% of the same code.
Yes, NODOKA (aka murrine with a different name and fixed hilight_ratio
and other options) is an useless engine. And I will be laughing when
I'll publish the next release which is faster, better looking,
alpha-capable, with a *100 times better* structured code :) Just to
notice its capabilities, Murrine's SVN in just 10 lines of code can
emulate Nodoka engine, with the benefits of a faster but also more
secure/stable code :) (just add style = NODOKA in your gtkrc) eheh

Since it has RGBA support and I don't want to push that feature because
maybe gtk+ is going to be RGBA-enabled by default, and that means no

Re: [ubuntu-art] gtk theme

2008-03-05 Thread Sebastian Billaudelle
Hi folks!

Because my modem-driver is broken (never play around with
startup-scripts;-)) I wasn't able to read the mails.
I'll do it later, because I'm sitting in an internet cafe and I'm a
little bit short in time.

I'm sorry for my bad and short post. I'll post more later!

I've looked into the xl_cheese-/clearlooks-engine and changed some
points.
I could go on like this fixing the points written before.

At first, there was the problem that windows without a toolbar looked
ugly, because the color of the menubar was not the same as the windows
bg-color.
That's changed now: The menubar is colored like the background of the
window and the gradient of the toolbar is changed a little bit to fit to
that change...

The first point is the "unity of the menubaritem and the menu itself". I
looked into the code of the eXperience-engine and hacked a little bit in
clearlooks.
That should work now to, even if the menu is placed higher than the
menubar (Then the menubaritem-widget is turned "upside down").
Compiz/Emerald is still a problem...

Here's a little screenshot:

Before writing a Gtkrc, there must be at least *an idea* of what is the
style of an engine.
Clearlooks and Murrine are completely different, and they CAN'T have the
same colors (as it seems from those screenshots).

No, ubuntulooks is absolutely the last engine, in terms of liking and
stability, bugs, security. But with those weird gtkrcs, it looks better.
Murrine in the svn is much more stable than the 0.53.1 release, was
rewritten from scratch, and support the ability to change gradients and
a lot of things directly in the gtkrc.
Also adding custom widgets should be much more simpler.

Clearlooks loves bg[selected] with saturation < 45/100 ad value <
86/100.
Murrine should look great with a lot of colorschemes (because of the
glossiness), but you must take a look at the contrast (see the horrible
scrollbar in Human murrine)

the idea was not to simply rename anything. The gtkrc's we put in are just for 
testing and are in no way final. I never said I knew how to hack on gtkrc 
files ;-) The notes I wrote below are just the reults of looking at the 
clearlooks and murrine themes and trying to decide where each has a

So you are saying that ubuntulooks is better than both clearlooks and murrine? 
I do agree that writing something from scratch is the better option, but I am 
not a developer :D

No worries, they probably won't be...at least not in this form.

This is something very interesting to me but way out of my scope. I would need 
to understand what is "good" and what is "bad" in gtkrc as I am used to just 
editing the thing until it looks like I want it to.

I would love to see anything you have. For Hardy we will stick with the same 
main desktop colors as we always have used, it being the last of the cycle 
and all.
