nice, very nice! i (mostly) like it! > I have not convinced myself about the triangles in the drop-down lists yet, > but luckily I have plenty of work before I have to make a decision. the triangles i don't like in this form. it's not that they are triangles, but they look... strange. i *think* it's because of the shadows. try this: http://dawn.dev.hu/~ice/tmp/wingdrop.png the first two have most of the shadows removed, the third a bit less, the fourth a bit less less, and the bottom one is the original. upon closer look i think that your way makes the triangle "lift off" from the surface, whereas removing a bit of the shadow makes more like beveled than taking off. > I tried to stay close to the Next look, but yet make things a bit more > modern. Too much? certainly not. i don't quite understand what's wrong with the original slider, but if the one in your mockup is the trendy today, i can live with that. apart from this (and this isn't a "not like", but a "don't understand, but don't oppose") and that the triangles need a tiny bit of a touch-up, full marks. -- [-] mkdir /nonexistent -- To unsubscribe, send mail to wmaker-dev-unsubscr...@lists.windowmaker.org.
