Alrighty. Maybe if you'd like we can try this the other way around, I've
just uploaded the Kith emerald theme (named Didymous) onto the tubes, the
colour might be slightly off with the metacity theme, but if you want, give
it a try!

  Andrea, could you pass the theme files my way so I could try them with my
  theme files? All of this is amazing, and I'd like to start updating Kith
  around the Murrine engine and get a really consistent look. This is all
 just
  fantastic.

 It requires some changes in the engine in order to get the tabs

 I prefer the Union mockup

personally i wouldn't use such a bright and 'salmon pink' theme. it'd
give me a headache. but anyway, if it's a hit with actual users then i'm
all for it.

i'm still worried about the dependence on Compiz with these themes
though. i work (and teach) as an graphics programmer/game-developer and
artist. one of the first things i do is disable Compiz on all the
computers on which i teach and work: it simply interferes far too much
with various 3D applications.

cheers,

Thats the biggest thing. The color. None of the color schemes really
meet Shuttleworth's description of the Golden Standard. We need a
better color scheme. Orange is weird and brown is drab. Salmon Pink
makes me want to go fishing and eat fish.

To add to that, the min/max/close buttons are a direct copy of Vista.
Might want to do something with that.

I'll throw in my dislike of what I thought was peach as well...in addition
to the min/max/button choice.

So if the colors aren't great, and the style is so-so, what is it about Kith
that people like? (question not aimed at those who like the peach/salmon
thing, obviously). Is it just about the window borders?

Kith indeed is smashing. It has a great combination more importantly
than anything- it is a great theme, but I am not sure if it is
appropriate for a default.

In other news, I have begun to code Clear. So far so good!
