The flat style titlebar with the nice techy close, minimize and maximize looks great in my opinion. What i think is that this flat style doesn't really fit with the gradient scrollbar and gui styles. The titlebar could looks like the texture/gradient of the scrollbar. Or everything has the same flat darkstyle like the titlebar. If you want look like os x window style, decent dark metallic texture would be nice too. Personally i like flat styles. bit7 -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Yukai theme ( Metacity )
hm, I think you should try to darken the orange and change the text colour to white. Also the text should be boldened -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Yukai theme ( Metacity )
Looks rather 70s, actually. The third one with the lines disrupts the readability and just looks rather "out there." I prefer the second because having the orange polygon in the middle looks out of place. The curve of the minimize button is rather grainy, either from the resolution or the way it was made. I suggest making it smoother.

I wish I knew CSS so that I can make a theme using the new engine. It seems
to handle these default things good as well as it may turn out to be very
feature rich after some months of theme experiments.

Right, and I'm not sure how to best do that. The problem is that gtk
draws the focus indicator in a separate operation.
Something like this may work though, assume "rect(t, r, b, l)" gives
the position of the button image without `aura':
/* Draw the button itself, from the image that includes the `aura'. */
GtkButton[has-default=true][has-focus=true] {
border-image: url(theme.svg#button-default-focused) 8 9 6 9;
-moz-image-region: rect(t, r, b, l);
}
/* Draw the `aura' (aka focus indicator). */
GtkButton[has-default=true][has-focus=true] > gtk-focus-indicator {
border-image: url(theme.svg#button-default-focused) 8 9 6 9;
clip: rect(t, r, b, l);
}
Need to try and find out how it works out. Also `-moz-image-region'
[1] and `clip' are not yet supported in libccss.

The concept of `focus auras' is very well supported in Gtk+, look at [1] for more info.

Have a look at the Open dialog of any application using the GTK/Gnome standard, e.g. Gedit. Default is on Open. Focus is on the file list. If you hit the Tab key several times, you will see the Open key can also have both Default and Focus and that the Cancel key will have Default and Focus indication at once. It's very clear with the Human theme. Of course other themes and engines could ignore the Default state. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

We just need to define the form of buttons and entries (textboxes) and almost all of the other widgets are some variations of these two and can be created fast. I have one more question though: When is this Default button state used? At first I thought it was when you open an app and the button responding to pressing Enter is the default. But then (with the pixmap engine) I realised that this kind of buttons just get focus and the default image is not displayed.

I haven't heard of one either. Probably some attempts for this are being made with the aurora engie but it has not been updated for a very long time.
