I really like the idea of transparent scrollbars over a decorated trough proposed by this theme. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/Kerberos It's probably doable similar to how this guy has introduced transparency to GTK. http://cimi.netsons.org/blog/ On Friday 21

Hi Ken, I really dig the ideas shown in your mockup. Using a bit of color in the windows seems like a great idea to me - I was actually working on some ideas along these lines). The thing that strikes me most is that the brown seems to be used too much. In the past we have stuck to brown with

True; but I'd rather give people the option if they use a more windows-like layout, or just don't have anything on the topside of the screen. No real reason limit yourself, keep things available just-in-case. On Dec 19, 2007 4:51 PM, Daniel Moore [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: While it doesn't

To be honest I am not particularly keen on the current incarnation of the offical theme so far. I find most of the themes based on brown to overly dark - although this may be more personal preference. I like light, bright themes and find the trend of brown on brown a bit claustraphobic at

One thing I need to say about Vista is they did good with the window buttons. I'll give em credit where credit is due. A few weeks before I started this theme I read as many reviews and interface guidelines as I could, and one was a review on GUI aspects of Vista and OSX. While they come a dime a

While it doesn't sound like a big deal, it's just another thing to look at. If I rounded the corner then the button would need to be 1 or 2 pixels lower to accommodate the top-edge, breaking the users ability to slam. You can't slam with floating (non maximised) windows. Mac user

At first I didn't like this theme, but it is really growing on me. Of coarse there are things that still need work. The orange in the theme feels out of place. It just doesn't fit it because of how heavy the browns are. I think using white as the selected item color in the menus would look a lot
