Re: [ubuntu-art] Tossing some Window decorations into the pot.
Hey! The things I'm not sure about here are: - The orange glow. I like the idea of a different-colored shadow, but if it appears as a glow against certian backgrounds, it seems inconsistent and a bit cheesy. - The min/max/close buttons. I'm not sure if it's too big or if the borders tick me off... But on the other hand, I do love the simplicity of it. Having that 1px highlight was classy and spot-on.

I don't know of a way but you could get around it by making the button size different and making the min and max buttons on the right and left sides of the images(if they are images) so that they appear smaller then they actually are. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

On first sight, I wondered if this is meant to be a sunken in look with light on the outer edge and had to view closer to see it is not. To me it seems problematic that titlebar and menubar appear as one for focused windows, but fall apart due to titlebar transparency for unfocused windows.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Tossing some Window decorations into the pot.
I like it! Has a ubuntu big-rectangle-button look to it, while taking using the good idea of standing out the X button. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
[ubuntu-art] Tossing some Window decorations into the pot.
I created matching metacity and emerald themes. Based on the Union concept for Hardy, but are taylored to be dark. They may fit in well with all the dark/light hybird themes floating around. Get 'em here: (*Quality* feedback would be appreciated. :) ) Screenshot of the Metacity: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/xl_cheeselooks...?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=xl_dark_alt_metacity.jpg Metacity download: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/xl_cheeselooks...?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=xl_cheeselooks_DarkAlt.tar.gz Screenshot of Emerald: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/xl_cheeselooks...?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=xl_darknew.jpg Emerald download: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/xl_cheeselooks...?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=87877-xl_dark.emerald.tar.gz Now if someone can tell me how to make the close button in metacity wider than the other buttons I'd be a happy camper. Also, this patch here may be extremely useful on a theme with merged menubar and window decoration. Heck, it'd be useful on any theme. I haven't been able to make it work tho. I'm hoping more of us will ask for it to be dumped into upstream.
