Mine was just an opinion to *improve* the theme, not to criticize the community. I'm with the idea that it's better a theme like tropic than a PERFECT COPY of a mac OSX theme.

It might be that you misjudge the colors because of your LCD monitor, which are very bad (at least the cheap ones) when it comes to color rendition, because of this poor feature most graphic agencies wont use them at all.

If somebody need a tool for suggesting and verifying appropriate color scheme then he should go on http://wellstyled.com/tools/colorscheme2/index-en.html A combination of orange and green (on Tropic) is really totally nonsense.

Re: [ubuntu-art] [TT-Tropic] Beta 1 Released
Viper, Your enthusiastic contributions are greatly appreciated, however, I can't see myself looking at something with that color palette. The parent's link to the color tool would definitely be a good starting point to deriving a theme that is easier on the eyes.

The blueish green doesn't really fit the brownish orange, and in the upper right corner, it's really hurting. You're totally off your router's lights now, aren't you? :D Try a greener green (maybe even in a yellow shade), and also a more yellowish orange, bringing the colors a bit closer to each other, and then play around with it. The green I really liked was the background on the gFlat screenshot.Furthermore you can see there: The far less saturated title bar does not hurt - the scroll bars on the right do. (... and the progress bars do, but that's another story ;) ) I'm really for the tropic theme, and I believe you can make it evolve into something fresh yet not tiring by giving you a feel like it was screaming at you.Play on, Viper! I think you've yet to find this theme's right way. -- Klaus -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
