If somebody knows a way to fix them he is welcomed to help. Anton Anton, I have to say that I like the old New Wave min/max/close better than the one you implemented here. I feel the shape is just too jagged. I do like the buttons a lot. For the min/max perhaps instead of making the shape smaller, you could extend it to cover the entire min/max/close as the same size.

The Piano styling of Kin is still in the works, and some things are being modified due to Emerald Pixmap limitations, but it is looking very good, albut I had to remove the highlight on the top and bottom rims. Meat and Potatoes; What I'd really like to get at, is forming a Kin team to help unify Kin-Theme development and diversify styles. We have Kith, Slab, Tonic, Human2, Piano, Codname Plue and others; all being produced individually. They all have several styles in common, so if we could get the people that excel in their elements to work on what they do best - we could not only have a diverse collection, but one with truly complete themes instead of half-baked lemons. Realistically, what I could dedicate to any team that forms is I personally can create Emerald themes, from start-to-finish, and build Pixmap/SVG GTK elements. Anything that could be done with SVG, I could help style and concept. What we would need on the team, would be actual GTK theme programming (having several failed Kin GTK themes myself, I'm no good at it), Metacity programming (although Kin Tonic metacity has set an EXCELLENT standard for that, hopefully Tonic, I would like you to join the team). Additionally, anybody with experience is tweaking themes on a program-level would be good. In addition, bootsplash, logon pages and other interface elements could be done, aswell, I can help produce graphics for those. Going onto less-important assets (but assests nonetheless) we could also give gnome-games a facelift (I know I've already started a couple graphical tweaks for aislerot and a couple others), and other programs auch as Avant, Kiba, Gnome-Panel applets, KDE, Firefox, etc. Any program that either doesn't fit or looks outdated. I don't know how to setup launchpad or other sites a team could be established (unless I program a personal site, but I would prefer an already ubuntu-oriented website) but when I get a solid connection I could set one up, unless someone beats me to it (I get a connection on Wednsday, nudge nudge, wink wink) Lastly, as always, amazing work, everybody! All these themes are similar and unique. One way or another, if we create a pallet of themes and suite of components - it would be simple mix and match to maximize all of our themes unique potential, and we could establish the level of organization required to polish our themes. -Ken Vermette An exceptionally rough screenshot. Currently the theme is a version of Slickness being modified. The colours,toolbars, anything visible in the GTK except the menubar are due for being updated to the Piano GTK.

But why does the bottom half of the window frame change shade. Its a darker color all around except at the bottom.

That way the login screen itself could be different based on the theme choice... fire, water etc. style gdm themes? Personally, I'm loving the element idea as soon as I read it.
