 metacity look like.
 
 my main ideas are the following:

 the best, but the simple solid color panels are so out of date

 maybe the gradient on the top could be orangeish itself to give it some

 i attach an archive with all the screenshots and theme files.
 
 thanks for your oppinion!

Not bad at all... You have a couple ideas that I am not sure if its ok
to implement, like the different colored gnome-panels. Dark menus don't
quite match I believe...
It's a very good theme imho and u should continue its development!

[ubuntu-art] Breathe Icons BG colors

2008-09-06 Thread Thorsten Wilms
Hi!

Regarding defining background colors for the new icon theme instead of
an explicit palette:

Feedback, modifications and alternative proposals welcome ;)

That is very interesting indeed. If we can make some extension to
nautilus or gtk itself to adjust the hue and the contrast of the icons
at runtime depending on the prevailing bg color it would be very good.
If we consider the fact that the gimp code can be used it should be
really easy task to do. 

Another option would be to have several different icons that represent,
for example, folder and named smth like this:
folder_normal
folder_dark
folder_light
folder_midtone
folder_{color name or definition}
and use them upon automatic detection of the icon's bg.

Is this stuff possible?

Anton

 With the different color panels i just wanted to test the colors, of
course they wouldnt be different in a theme.
The different color menus make it less boring without them, it looks
like everything is the same color.
What is the problem with them exactly?

and i need some aid with metacity, i am having some troubles with fixing
the bugs and polishing it.

i attach the screenshot with both white panels so it doesnt confuse
anybody: http://m.blog.hu/os/osline/image/metacitywp.png

Thanks for your opinion!
