I also think that the box around the active windows should be removed- that would be perfect.

Re: [ubuntu-art] New theme looking for critique based on Human-Clearlooks
You mean like make it even more distinct (the text and buttons blend in more with the title bar than the default) by darkening the border? I will try that out and see how it works.

Re: [ubuntu-art] New theme looking for critique based on Human-Clearlooks
Is this better as far as determining which window is unfocused and which is focused? I modified the borders so that the gradient is darker going to lighter when the windows are unfocused, and lighter going to darker when they are focused. I will make a new package soon for this, making the Test2 window border the default one, so you only have 1 package. :) Smartboy On Sun, Jul 6, 2008 at 3:59 AM, Julian Oliver [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ..on or around Sat, Jul 05, 2008 at 09:45:57PM -0700 AA Boy wrote: I made a newer theme based on the Human-Clearlooks theme included with hardy.

Thanks. I forgot to say that the second window borders are based on Blended, so they should blend with most themes, but need more bug fixing as they don't work too well with dark themes. :( Smartboy On Sat, Jul 5, 2008 at 9:53 PM, Salane Ashcraft [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is good looking...
