Re: [ubuntu-art] [Ubuntu-Art] Hardy GTK theme

As an example of the problems faced. Open up the GIMP or Inkscape in a dark theme. You may notice some of the tool icons become difficult to identify, particularly in Inkscape. tonic On Wed, 2007-11-07 at 14:14 -0500, Corey Woodworth wrote: > I agree, as much as I like dark themes, there are jus

Re: [ubuntu-art] Hardy GTK Theme

Speaking of changes to gnome. I can think of two small ones that would make a huge difference. 1. Ability to add a gradient to the panel bar w/o pixmaping it. 2. Ability to grab a window from both the metacity title bar as well as the blank space on the menubar. Perhaps even the blank space

Re: [ubuntu-art] hardy gtk theme

Can we do a gentle noise or noise+blur texture in cairo, like in your background? I thing gloss is on the way out too, but it is better than plain jane flat colors. A subtle texture though would be very cool! Just so long as it doesn't come off as a rip off of that old Mac brushed metal theme, it w

Re: [ubuntu-art] [Ubuntu-Art] Hardy GTK theme

I agree, as much as I like dark themes, there are just too many kinks to work out. I do like the idea of packaging an aditional dark theme with hardy though. It would be a good base to build from if we wanted to make a dark theme default in hardy+1 Corey On Nov 7, 2007 1:50 PM, Mikkel Kamstrup E

Re: [ubuntu-art] hardy gtk theme

Yeah, that's a good one. Notification area should be monochrome (or no more than 3 colours). When you have more than 4 icons, the notification area becomes too similar to the icons just at the right of "System" menu. I think that just the apps icons and maybe the gtk app buttons (save, open, etc..)

Re: [ubuntu-art] Hardy GTK Theme

Yeah, I'm agree with you. I have the same opinion about Tango icons. The people at Iconfactory seems that followed the Tango guidelines. We have to discuss if we want to take these Ubuntu icons and go further or try another options(hiperrealistic icons, more Tangoish, etc..). I'll post some ideas t

Re: [ubuntu-art] hardy gtk theme

I agree about Tango. It's nice and all, but I want something more detailed, realistic, and well, different. I think working off the Oxygen theme wouldn't be a bad idea since there will already be quite a lot work done on it. Mime types and actions would already be completed. We'd mostly just have t

Re: [ubuntu-art] hardy gtk theme

Hey all Call me a heretic, I didn't like that diagonal gloss on buttons. I agree with Cimi, it's not usable. There's been many attempts to find an original kind of "gloss", if we're up to find another, this one should be much different from previous ones. When I was experimenting with different k

Re: [ubuntu-art] Hardy GTK Theme

Those reflections are pretty nice. The more subtle elements are good if people are genuinely moving away from gloss. I think gentle curves for reflections are better, we have enough hard edges on the screen as it is. tonic On Wed, 2007-11-07 at 00:21 +0100, Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen wrote: > On 0

Re: [ubuntu-art] Hardy GTK Theme

Troy and Mikkel are right. Although a dark interface is nice and maybe fresh, but there are some problems with some applications and icons here and there. I didn't thought about that. So much for the black theme. Still I really love the mac-stile of interface design, I don't think we should follow
