Re: [ubuntu-art] Graphite vs Heat theme
I've tried glossing up the Graphite-Heat theme to be a bit more silvery.
Basically - what I've done is to lighten menuitem preligts, lighten
buttons from the background.
I also lightened menu backgrounds a bit, to make them stand out
better[1], and played with a "contrast" switch I found in the
ubuntulooks engine (with only little effect though).
I'm not entirely happy with the result, but it has some qualities, so I
though I might share :-) I'm not sure that "glossy" was an original goal
of the graphite/heat themes anyway..?
I attached my gtkrc.
Cheers,
Mikkel
[1]: The danger of low contrast themes is to that stuff tend to blend
together... Perhaps I'm just old.
PS: I added a HeatedGraphite entry to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTeam/DapperTasks. It links to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTeam/HeatedGraphite (which I hope someone
will create soonish - hint hint).

Re: [ubuntu-art] Graphite vs Heat theme
Hello, Yes, the Tango aluminium and the graphite/steel colours really work well together. Pascal, it may be worth identifying this as one clear thrust of the community, and trying to organise a common push towards sharing the work to make one steel/graphite theme that is really very polished for inclusion in Dapper. This should be very exciting to ship two main theme. Why not ship a full system theme, i mean including grub, usplash and gdm ? We need specs to define what is a desktop theme, what is a system theme. We also need an application to simply switch between them. This should be a great features. Is this possible if dapper have 6 week more to be polished ? Maybe the global switch will be for dapper+1.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Graphite vs Heat theme
It is true that our themes overlap a bit. The main difference i think is that Heat keeps a brown touch, while graphite tends to be blueish (maybe that's just a contrast with Heat ) I updated the theme to make it more like graphite, but i kept a brown touch. Screenshot : http://www.mentalwarp.com/~fred/divers/ubuntu/Screenshot1.1.png Download : http://www.mentalwarp.com/~fred/divers/ubuntu/Heat1.1.tar.gz You can also get the tango-aluminium icon set here : http://www.mentalwarp.com/~fred/divers/ubuntu/Tango-Aluminium.tar.gz I'll do a wikipage soon.

It seems like there's plenty work for several people - I don't know about the gray Tango theme from Heat - but I bet it can use a lot of work :-) (I think it's great btw). And if you care for my 2 cents on this, I think it is a good idea to keep a slightly brownish feel to it, like Heat has. That way it will feel more Ubuntish.
