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. That is why I decided the right lines are not necessary at all. > - 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). > 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). If you know smth I'll be glad to hear it. Anton -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

You do realize that 7z compression is not supported by default in Intrepid? If the point is to preserve bandwidth I think bz2 should do almost as well.

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.

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.

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. Keep up the great work. -- Seba (AKA spg76) http://www.ubuntu-ar.org -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

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).

I hope that one day begins in the principal ubuntu theme(although use pixmap engine) contributions: in the gray scrollbar should be same to the metacity becose increase uniformity -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
