After the correspondence between Michiel and I on the list, Frank
mailed me to point out this page which gives a fuller picture of the
discussion that has happened so far. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/PolishHumanGTKTheme/Incoming Overall I'm very impressed with the commentary there. I don't agree with ANYBODY on everything, but that's to be expected :-). I do, however agree with many of the specific points there. Michiel, you are absolutely right about the aliasing if window corners, and if we are able to achieve that for Edgy I would be thrilled. I also agree that we need proper borders all around the window. +1 on those! However, I don't like the palette direction you are going in, it strikes me as heavyweight and gaudy. That's true for the window frame as well as the widgets. On the widgets, some of the changes are interesting. I think I prefer your buttons, they look more enticing and "clicktastic". I definitely do not like the progressbar, it lacks a sense of measured progress, which the dividers (thin vertical lines on the horizontal progress bar) give you. We deliberately made the grippies orange-on-mouseover, becase we do not want the orange to be too ever-present on the screen. Orange is a highlight colour, it should indicate something where there is activity or action. So we have to use it very, very carefully. So I don't like the always-orange press-points on the optionmenu, for example, or the combo box or scrollbars. Otherwise, interesting work! Mark |
