Based on the feedback until now, I will make the following changes:

 - Center window titles instead of right aligning them
 - Don't color panel buttons (but still menubars)
 - Post a PNG screenie instead of JPG

The installation issue Sandis mentioned should be fixed in 0.3 I
think... Anyway, I'll post an update on monday as I will go on a weekend
leave :-)

Cheers, and thanks for the feedback until now,

Mikkel

You should make the panel the same color as the menus, otherwise
drawers and the main menu look weird.

I really like your theme. The new metacity theme looks better, but
there is one usability issue - aligning text in titlebar to left for
RTL reading public is wrong.

Another issue is that on my breezy the theme installs fine, but
metacity theme never changes. I use simple instead (looks good too).

Looks good, but can you put up a png that is lossless? The jpg does
not justice to your work.

Thanks,

Sorry for spamming :-D I just had to add this...

Running "metacity-theme-viewer SandSkater" and looking under the
Benchmark tab I see that the SandSkater theme renders three times faster
than the Clearlooks-metacity theme (and three times faster than Glider
too - which should be comparable to the Breezy default theme).

This together with the ultra light Mist theme engine, which the
SandSkater GTK theme is based upon, really makes a HUGE responsiveness
difference on my olde 700MHz box.

Just thought you should now. Anyways - profiling the metacity theme with
metacity-theme-viewer is a nice trick I just discovered.

Cheers
Mikkel
