New guy on the block, take it as my presentation email. I doubt I'll be able to start helping for this cycle, but I'll try to give it a hand wherever I can. I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction in order to get started on this? Like an app to build your own theme? Btw... I'll try to don't top-post, but I think you guys should consider if it's really worth the rule (I'm not aware of the logic behind it, I guess it's because it's "easier" to follow the conversation, which is something arguable). Ok, neither I know how can I reply to an email that was sent to the list BEFORE I subscribed to it, so I'll try faking it, hope it works Julian, first of all, it's great to see guys like you (amazing projects) around here, and second... that wallpaper is brilliant! I would really like to see something along those lines on the default wallpaper, did you do it? Also, whoever is working on this Dust theme, maybe you should be careful on how much margin/padding the top/right panel has. I'll put two links to illustrate my point: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/DustTheme?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=ubuntudust.jpg https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/DustTheme?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=dust-color-1b.png The original mock-up had the close button nicely aligned with the corner of the window. The working theme didn't follow that and it looks a bit "messy". Apart from that, I think it can work very well. Just for the laughs (or hates), I'm right now using this theme: http://www.ubuntu-art.org/content/show.php/KDE4+Oxygen+new+port+for+GNOME?content=86653 Which I guess I'll keep using until something like Dust is available. That's it by now. Cheers! -- Mr.doob http://mrdoob.com -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

The firefox theme will primarily tweak the tabs, keeping the rest of the theme simple and free of potential bugs. -- -Ken Vermette -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Just curious, because your screenshot is missing the it. I'm using Dust right now and I modified the userChrome.css to fix most of the issues I have except for the bookmarks toolbar. -Arjuna -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
[ubuntu-art] Kin Dust
Hey Everyone; Heres live screenshots of Kin Dust. Right now I'm tweaking the panels and doing any per-program fixes for programs like firefox and OpenOffice (which disagree with dark menubars). Similar to all the Kith/Kin theme derivatives, when buttons are moused-over they have an "under the window" glow that blooms on the wireframe... Not shown in the pictures though; I need to manually edit images to show what the glow looks like, and I'm lazy. But if you've used Kith/Kin Emerald themes, you know the glow. http://raraken.deviantart.com/art/Kin-Dust-Live-96257933 http://raraken.deviantart.com/art/Kin-Dust-avec-Firefox-et-Avant-96261776 Things that are done include the firefox fix (but not a full theme), emerald, modified Metacity theme (looks similar to the origional dust), Avant navigator theme, Dark KithKin wallpaper, and the GTK (newest Murrine version, panels still under work). Things en route include customized cursors (similar to DMZ-Black), a true firefox theme, more fixes (Openoffice, mainly), panel themes and KDE colour sets. Things down the road (provided I get some rubber on the road) will be custom login and bootsplash images. -Ken Vermette -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
