That's actually the way clearlooks comes out of the box. I just adjusted the
color inside the engine to highlight the apps/places/system with the normal bg
color instead of orange.
I wonder if the engine could draw the tab/menu combo as one widget and compiz
would recognize it and draw the shadow the way we want?
Looking at the potential dropdown problem of one item flowing into the next,
plus the shadow at the same intersection, why not go the opposite
direction?Where the music selection has the solid orange highlight, why not
copy it onto the places button? That way the highlight has continuity with the
button, and it eliminates both the shadow and the border issue. So really, just
make places the solid orange too. Amazing work! -- Ken V

may also be tricky to have the engine draw the 1px border around the menu
except for the intersection of the menu and menubaritem. I'm sure the right
programmer could make it happen tho. ________________________________> Date:

While working on the most recent update, my laptop froze completely, and now it
appears to be completely dead. Because I'm beginning military training on the
13th, there's no point in fixing the 6-year old beast of a laptop. >> The data
might be fine (I think it's the graphics card), and I'm going to plug my
hard-drive into a desktop computer to see if I still have my work; depending on
how this goes, I might get one more update loaded into the wiki, after that
I'll make the most of my time with the family before I leave. If my data is
corrupt or irretrievable, then I'll be forced to forget any more updates. >>
The 0.4 update was the second last planned before calling the theme design
"final". It unified outlines throughout the theme, added an additional button
to the bottom of the windows, and overall had some colour balancing. If anyone
wants to get a step closer to the planned design, follow the steps below: >> -
Brown lines throughout the chrome receive 35% opacity, including drag circles.>
- Window frame button outlines receive converted tab outlines, becoming more
square and sharp.> - Close button no longer fades to the right, instead going
into the edge of the window and only fading at the top. >> From here on out,
I'm a useless bag of opinions until I leave (sucks to be this mailing list now,
eh?). I'll try to keep up, and my email will always be open. If I do manage the
update, a tar.gz will be available with all of my materials, including
wallpapers, all versions of the theme, experiments, notes, personal
instructions and my Formulae Tru design shown in my deviantart account, below.
