I tried your theme today. It is great! However, I have some suggestions. In http://www/~fde/NewWave_suggestions.jpg , I modified the main things I noticed; I don't know if it is technically possible to implement! 1) The gradient of the windows bar looks quite strange, because it is applied only in the inferior half of the bar (the menubar), not on the total width. Would it be possible to make it like on the image? 2) The font with a shadow in the bar looks very outdated. I suggest we use a font without a shadow. The one you see in this image ("Totem Video Player") is Free Sans, without any transformation. 3) I'm not sure about the transparency on the bar of the active window. Maybe we should keep it solid. 4) The icons for closing, minimize, etc. are not bad, but I don't like the one at the left (in Metacity, this one is the icon of the application used. We should keep this). The ones at the right are nice but we should -- maybe, not sure -- apply to them a light gradient, to make them really "part" of the bar. You can also try other icons (I put an example of a simple cross). 5) Could it be possible to make the down corners as round as the top ones? Also, could you let me see how it looks without the thin dark gray line of the bottom? 6) Still the thing about not active windows... Too bad we cannot make the top bar/menu bar really flat, the whole window in the same piece. Inactive windows of the current default theme of Ubuntu look a bit like that. 7) Don't know if it is possible but it would be great if we could also apply a really light gradient on the entire light gray window, like in the initial mockup. 8) In the bar -- both windows bar and task bar (particularly the taskbar, in fact) --, I'd like to see a light (not too light, though) gray internal border. Here is what I mean: http://www/~fde/NewWaveDetail.png But that's really a detail, no? :-) Ok, that's all for the moment! I got an answer to my request in Compiz forum: http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?p=56943#post56943 It seems they are working on a new window manager, but I fear it won't be ready soon...
