Really like what you are doing with New Wave. I noticed in some of the wiki screenshots there is an icon theme with little ubuntu logos on the some icons (most visible in Nautilus) which in my opinion is far too dark. I think that title/menu/status bars etc should be black or grey just as you've made them, but the actual content of a window that we have to interact with should be colourful (probably brown/orange/red) - i.e. folder icons etc. I also think this will really give New Wave a chance of being default (if that is you intention?), Mark likes his brown/orange/red! My feeling is that the most common icons to appear in the taskbar (aside from those you've made) are Tracker, Pidgin, Evolution Calendar alert, Rhythmbox, Remote Desktop, Transmission, Package Manager and Bluetooth. I realise some of these are applications, but I think it will ruin the unity of the theme if some taskbar icons are monochrome and others not. How do we actually add the icons to the New Wave theme so we can test? Also, I noticed a potential usability problem. By making the title bar and menu bar appear as one, it is easy to automatically and mistakenly click and hold on the menu bar in order to try and move a window. I think part of the reason I did this myself is because I've come from Windows Vista where the menu bar (well, its gone actually, but the strip where it used to be!) can be clicked to drag a window just as readily as the title bar can be. Relatively minor I suppose, but just thought I'd point it out! Keep up the good work! Nick
