i totally agree.. the new murrine engines gives us an awsome tool, but it wont help applications like rhythmbox and nautilus or totem, or openoffice which is the ugliest thing ever.

How do you guys like this? http://m.blog.hu/os/osline/image/adamconceptr.png it has no pixmaps, only pure murrine. i started it as a deviation of the dust theme, so its based on Ricos code. Avoiding pixmaps solves a lot of issues. for example it lets you change any colors. Only problems are the applications with java based guis, however i think in the next cycle we have to push them to their guis, since its stupid to avoid themes with gradient toolbars because of some developers who doesnt care about their gui, or becouse of java the bad java implementation. Ubuntu is strong enough to push them to fix their issues. By the way, if anyone knows how to address the toolbar for every java?swing application in gtkrc, than please let me know, it would solve every bug.

But at the same time, realizing that Ubuntu has received a lot of hype regarding the new theme for probably a year now, and you don't let something like that get so hyped up and then expect everyone not to notice when you don't fulfill the expectation. Every single article, review and assessment of Ubuntu lately have promoted the idea that we would be receiving a new theme soon, and that hype is something that Ubuntu and Canonical have benefitted from. It's something we've all benefitted from as Ubuntu users. And all this time, not one officially affiliated Ubuntu/Canonical community member has disputed the introduction of the new theme in Intrepid. Hype, publicity and media is a dangerous thing and can backfire on you very easily. I personally think it would be a very bad PR move by Canonical/Ubuntu not to come through on the new theme, since it is dangerous to mismanage your users expectations so badly. You or I may be able to say, whatever, I'll install my own theme. But I'm not sure that I can promote and advocate a product with which I personally am unhappy how my own expectations have been managed.

It's dark, compact, and the gradient is very soft, quite clean in fact. Looking back at the actual version of Dust, there are gradients everywhere in the top of a window :). Three of them in a Nautilus window, which is a little confusing I must say. Plus, the colors have gone lighter and lighter, and we now have a dark _grey_ theme, instead of the original dark one.

The shadow underneath all of the bins is clipped so they need to be made a little smaller I do like the wonderful colours you've used, but I still (personally) feel that I can't relate any of them to a real world material.

With the Xrender implementation compiz-like effects will NOT be implemented. Even though Iain (the guy who added compositing inside metacity), did a very good modular job, meaning that in the future someone could write a new backend using openGL and not Xrender, allowing compiz-like effects.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Need Help Testing Dust Theme
i dont see any problem with the black toolbars, since every other part of the theme is light grey, it is very easy on the eyes. The point is its not like the others, something new, something less boring. Changing something doesnt mean it is worse, it means it is different, it is new. it would be a bad sign if a good theme wouldnt be accepted just because the artwork theme doesnt dare to change. the purple selected color doesnt have too much with ubuntu, but its something that anybody can change easily. i attach a variant of mine i hope Rico wont mind.

No. I have coded it alone during these years, but as I said actually no further development is required because the svn version has features to make people satisfied for months/years.

There are two projects related with murrine: murrine-themes and gtkconf/murrine-configurator, both on launchpad and developed by other guys (not by me).

Cruz wrote: That was a development version. I think these will be the final toolbar gradients for a long time: http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/610/dust0917scrollbarsgradikz5.png [Nevermind the selected color -- I'm just trying out alternate colors to see if they work with the theme's new changes ;)] Let me try to dispute all the gradient discussions once and for all. - Yes, there will be gradients. They won't be flat. - The look that Dust is trying to achieve is (1) modern, (2) clean, (3) sleek/slender, (4) neutral. The old Dust gradients (the round ones) achieve the 1st, but fails a little on 2nd, but is horrible at the 3rd. I think flats will only achieve (2). Even the original mockup will not look very sleek, IMHO, on certain setups (it looks nice with the small toolbar shown, but what about 2 fat toolbars?). The gradients shown in the latest screenshot above, I think, finally achieves all of those points. I think it looks fine even on a fat default nautilus setup (which the old Dust terribly fails at). Regarding colors: It'll be very hard to change them. I am considering toning down the BG color to be a bit darker, but I'm still deliberating on this. - I don't think it should get any darker than #D0D0D0 -- this is as off-white as things can get without being light gray. - The highlight color should ideally be not-so-saturated to keep the sleek, subdued look. - I'd avoid a yellowish color for a highlight, too. I'd keep the default selected color as something more universally-likeable: that'd be something like blue, steel blue, or tan, or beige. I'm sorry if some of the directions the theme is headed is not to everyone's tastes. I hope you can imagine that having a big audience is quite hard. I'm trying hard to stick with the vision of Dust (not necessarily the mockup), and admittedly there's some bad judgement calls in there but I'm trying hard to keep things in line. An update will be out soon with these changes. For those still interested, keep posted. And thank you everyone for all the feedback and the comments, they really help! (Again it's a little hard to please everyone, but hey that's why some of the colors are adjustable ya'know.) Cheers!
