Hey.
Thanks for the reply. It's really nice to see all those ideas thrown
together here. Good work to all.
I will try some mockups of the widgets, based on my theme - hope to
get some time next week. Maybe there is a GTK/Metacity artist wanna
get her/his hands dirty? Would love to see if my theme really works out.
There are some fine ideas and themes going around here, some with
real potential I think. Maybe we should make a list with things to
focus on an things, that might not work. For example all these glossy
effects. I think I'm not the only one who feels, glossy effects are a
litle outdated, nothing fresh anymore. But maybe it's far to early to
say so.
Keep on, and cheerz.

To answer number 2. Yes, it would be easy to make the gradient
continuous between the toolbar, menubar, and metacity. I can
easily do that with this theme I presented earlier.

Sorry for late reply...
I really think this one contains some quality material, albeit I am
not certain that it is possible to implement as a real theme.
1) The (almost) monochrome icons in the panel work really well.
The most controversial here is probably the dark Ubuntu logo.
However I personally think it looks more professional and stylish
than the normal orange incarnation. We should really consider this
(and lobby sabdfl to allow it).
2) Smooth texture. I don't know if we can implement that smooth
gradient going from the window frame through the menu and toolbar.
It might be possible to make it look good in Nautilus, but then
other apps will likely break it. One breakage and it appears
amateurish. We should experiment with this - maybe with support
from the theme engine. I will try it out if I can find the time.
3) What I would like to see in http://guentherbeyer.de/wp-content/
uploads/2007/11/ubuntu_804_theme_test_04_2.png is a lot more of the
widgets mocked up. Text entries, scrollbar, combo boxes. Can you do
that?
Cheers,
Mikkel
