this is pretty good. i like the relative lack of colour variance in the wireless and volume applets. that they share the same colour as the time groups them all together in the "information" part of the panel. the subtle panel shading is good and works well when seen across several colours (the grey and then the power button, then the logo). i think the nectarine-red in the alert icon is a bit weak, off somehow. i don't like the choice of folder icon theme but it's a welcome change from the caramel bonbons we have currently ;) the black icons in the last screenshot are an interesting direction. it's refreshing to see the titlebar removed when the window is inactive. this would greatly simplify the visual field when many windows are in open and avoids the need to change the colour of the title-bar when inactive. i would perhaps choose a thicker border on the windows however, as the definition between windows may not be sufficient when many are stacked ontop of each other - especially on systems without the true transparency that compiz brings.. cheers, -- julian oliver http://julianoliver.com http://selectparks.net messages containing HTML will not be read. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
