Re: [ubuntu-art] New theme looking for critique based on Human-Clearlooks

2008-07-06 Thread AA Boy 
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. :)

i far prefer the test2, though it's naturally harder to tell which window is
in focus. if unfocussed windows could be further differentiated from the
focussed it might we workable as a theme.

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.

Your blended window borders lack any significant difference between
active and inactive windows. I can see what you're trying to do but to
pull it off you'd have to be able to theme the actual inactive windows
differently too so they blend with a titlebar that shows the
difference clearly.
