Re: [ubuntu-art] Compiz desktop switcher color
I disagree. Orange suits default Ubuntu theme most and the first influence is most important. If someone will be able to change the theme than will also know how to change compiz colours. Ideally - compiz colours should change dynamically to fit the actual theme. I don't think that sch feature could be implemented in Hardy so we have to resolve that problem another way. Maybe someone could contact compiz team? 2008/2/22, Kenneth Wimer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > On Friday 22 February 2008 11:46:32 François Degrave wrote: > > That's right.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Compiz desktop switcher color
Yes, that would be perfect but I'm not sure if such function is implemented. 2008/2/22, Matthew McGowan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Piotr Zaryk wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I noticed that the compiz desktop switcher (the one that appears in > > the middle of the screen while switching desktops) has a lightblue > > colour both in Gutsy and Hardy.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Compiz desktop switcher color
OK, but I mean to set the Ubuntu-like colours in compiz by default in Hardy.

[ubuntu-art] Compiz desktop switcher colour
Hello, I noticed that the compiz desktop switcher (the one that appears in the middle of the screen while switching desktops) has a lightblue colour both in Gutsy and Hardy. I think it should be filled with #EFEBE7 to suit Ubuntu default theme. It shouldn't be too difficult to change. What do you think? -- Regards, Zaryk -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Hello, I only wanted to suggest you to look at this: http://architectfantasy.com/?p=1 http://architectfantasy.com/?p=25 I think that you should disscuss it, too. 2008/2/9, Dylan McCall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > (Should have changed topic title when we had the chance...) > > A little applet I have been working on (very slowly) is designed to > separate the idea of a window and the process that creates it, as the two > concepts should be.
