Well - mode color versions - the Blue version like Blue Wave, possibility to switch to normal ( old ) combo-box style for opening / listing options for all applications ( because is better - Gnome does not do a better thing with the new combo-boxes opening style from an Usability point of view, also the new style has not a good implementation ), possibility to choose where the arrows for scrollbars will stay ( 1 up, 1 down ; both down; etc ) Globally is one of the best Gnome modern themes - simply and elegant - not bloated, and with unity of style.

The sliders should not be as dark as the metacity because if they are they will attract too much attention and will not be usable. The will look even better without the up and down arrows from the gtkrc. This version with arrows is specially for Ubuntu's defaults because Open Office does not display sliders if they don't have steppers (very strange if you ask me).

Re: [ubuntu-art] New Wave 0.8.0 for Ubuntu
Great job, Anton! I just downloaded the theme and I'm loving the new stuff. My only (tiny) critic it's that the tabs on the Firefox theme have a different close button from the rest of the applications. Of course, that we could add your button to the Breathe theme ;) But if someone use a different icon theme the button remains the same. Anyway, the theme it's fantastic.

The firefox theme is only beta plus it would probably not be included in Ubuntu. But if Kenneth decides I will polish it some more and will provide a better version with some more tweaks and fixes. I'm providing it now in order for easier firefox fixing and integration. @ Dodol Use the theme with dark menus and you will have no problem with OO.

В 10:23 -0700 на 18.03.2009 (ср), Akshay Dua написа: I have two observations :) (sorry, just want to help). 1) The gnome panels seem a little flat, it would be nice to see them have some depth. 2) A rounded text box in the panel gets surrounded by straight edges. So there is this white border around it (I am talking about the dictionary applet). Thank you for the feedback. 1) It would be nice indeed but the image used for panels could not be stretched due to limitation of Gnome. So I'm using one universal image for top/bottom and all sized panels. If I make a highlight at the top of the image for the bottom panel it would be ugly in the top panel. i think that the panels stand out by their darker color and in the same time are usable. 2) This is also a problem with GTK because the text control could not have transparent backgrounds (the white pixels left) thus I'm using the most appropriate color for the control to fit it's usual (light grey or white) background. You cannot see this in clearlooks because the panel is light. Also the pixmap engine is known for not such a great flexibility when it comes to integration and merging of widgets. Probably it is possible to make a exception matching for textboxes in panels but that would not solve the problem on other dark backrounds.

It is very good for embedded lists and tree views, but not so good on fx. GMail's embedded text editor (which I am using as I write this :-)). Another problematic case is when the scrollbar is on the right. You can try this out in Gnome Terminal by configuring the Scrolling tab in its profile. I don't know how RTL languages lay out the scrollbars... - Have you experimented with some kind of left edge on the scrollbar. The problem is that it appears a bit floating the widget on the left of it does not provide a natural border (again see embedded GMail editor). - But to make it clear - really, really, great work! - Looking at The Widget Factory It looks like the text entries in GtkCombo does not align pixel perfect with their arrow-buttons (there seems to be some cruft in the right corners of the entries).

The problem is that it appears a bit floating the widget on the left of it does not provide a natural border (again see embedded GMail editor). You mean right edge? No I haven't experimented because my purpose is to cut lines in order to make the interface look simpler. I have done this because ppl use the only slider to drag the contents up and down and the arrows very rarely.

GtkComboBoxEntry looks good though. I know for this but don't know how to match (in the gtkrc) the entry of the combo in order to make it with better shape to fit the button (currently drawn: normal entry + partial button).

Re: [ubuntu-art] New Wave 0.8 Preview
@ Saleel Well I'm not real gui designer either but I'm trying my best at creating usable themes. Regarding the progressbar it is usually so rapidly moving that you don't see anything. In the cases you see it I want to attract the attention of the user to the part that is moving forward by making it more orange. @ Sebastian I really like the new scrollbars too, but I'm not sure about the decision to make them without the arrows. I guess I just have to try and see. One thing that I would add it's a focus state for the text fields. Maybe an orange border like the buttons. Overall, I love New Wave. Well the arrows are not a big problem because without them the interface looks much more consistent and because we all use the scroll wheel or drag the sliders instead of clicking on arrows. I have made a special version of arrow states that will fit the new scrollbars and everybody will be able to turn them on/off by simly modifying 2 lines of the gtkrc file. I wish there was some small graphical python utility to do that but I have no experience at this.

Screenshot: http://img192.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=64395_Screenshot_122_452lo.jpg Changes: - The top of the windows - Changed Focus images for buttons, headers, check/radio buttons. - Intensified progressbar color - Default button indication - New Toolbars - Sliders - Check/option animation like behaviour There are few bugs that appeared from the changes such as the need of useChrome.css file for Firefox and strange main menu in Evolution. If somebody knows a way to fix them he is welcomed to help. Anton Anton, I have to say that I like the old New Wave min/max/close better than the one you implemented here. I feel the shape is just too jagged. I do like the buttons a lot. For the min/max perhaps instead of making the shape smaller, you could extend it to cover the entire min/max/close as the same size.

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.

Making it the opposite would solve this. That was the intended look of the window top. But many people think that it is some kind of strange top-bottom gradient. What should I do to convince all people that this is behind the window(like another one that is holding the content)? Probably I should increase the border at left and right? Of course, this is my opinion, and I'm a fan of the Dust theme, so take it with a grain of salt. ;) Smartboy Anton -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Re: [ubuntu-art] New Wave new version available
Anton, I love how you have made the Nautilus side bar bearable to look at. Lots of themes make the side bar white except for the drag handle, which looks really bad. The squared off buttons are a nice departure from the round widgets which have become 'the norm'. I think they look good! This avoids all those dumb jagged corners on the windows, among other things. Is that shadow on the bottom border new? It's a good addition, because before the shadows on the Metacity theme risked being (while attracive) inconsistent with the shadows everywhere else. It may be a good idea to run Metacity with its compositor turned on and try to have the theme's shadows match what Metacity's compositor does. I think the orange highlight on selected widgets is just the right touch of Ubuntuish orangeness.

Re: [ubuntu-art] New Wave on Gnome-Look.org
Anton, make sure you update the theme. Gnome look moves pretty fast and even if every single person votes up your theme it will only hit 60 or 70 by the time it fades into page 6+ obscurity. The only way to get an accurate count is to bump your theme to the front page a few times with updates.

It's the blending-gray color also... The button and the scrollbar (plus the range) are the images that are made by aother person - Francois. Can you make a mockup of a button with everything you thing should be in. I'm having difficulties with the button image because it's the most important one and I do not know how to make it. But I will have a try to redesign it myself.

The panel constant exists too but it is in different file. Any ideas? Anton -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
