Hi Mirek, Kendy,
> One more idea -- could you change the font drop-down menu into an icon menu? That's a little off-topic now, innit? It's probably best to start a new topic for that... (but I hear Kendy is open to such proposals!) >> What makes the >> task of changing the entire chrome hard is that there is so many widget >> types - push buttons with many states (normal, pressed, hover, default), >> scrollbars (hover, pressed button, dragging the scroller), etc. etc. How hard would it be to change the backgrounds of the menus and toolbars? (Just the background gradients, not actually the widgets themselves.) If that were easy, we could consider a colour scheme like the one Windows 7 Paint and Wordpad use (which seems a bit more balanced and less glossy than our current colour scheme.) See [1]. Granted, both are ribbon apps, so their scheme of gradients would need to be slightly adapted to fit our current UI. For a start, they use a simple horizontal gradient RGB(197,207,223) to RGB(220,229,242) as the document background. (Of course, all those changes should only be activated on Vista and 7.) > I'd suggest making the rulers adopt the document background, lose the > divider between the background and the rulers, lose the black square around > the tab insertion mode, and tone down the colors (black->gray).
