Re: [ubuntu-art] Union mock-up compiz problem.

2008-01-07 Thread Dylan McCall
The shadow could be disabled entirely for the menu in Compiz's configuration. If anything, this would be a good opportunity to play with that suggestion of the art team dealing with default Compiz settings. Personally, I don't think it would be missed since the menu is already transparent anyway...

Looking at the screenshot, I need to say good work! Somewhat freaky seeing a live rendition of the mockup... If I wouldn't be murdered in my sleep, I'd install Ubuntu on this computer so I could see it in action! Looking at the potential dropdown problem of one item flowing into the next, plus the

I think compiz will put a damper on the nice menus and menubaritem combination. Compiz puts a shadow all the way around the menu. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/Union?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=menu.png It may also be tricky to have the engine draw the 1px border

Hi, Just catching up on my email now, sorry for the delay :-( I think that you should rotate the bug to align the vertical with the top right arrow, just an idea. Great work, really nice! -- Ken On Saturday 05 January 2008 17:38:54 Thorsten Wilms wrote: > On Fri, 2008-01-04 at 21:27 +0100, Nic

Thanks everyone; The good news is that some strange concoction of software managed to salvage the data off my hard drive, so I still have all the assets to the theme; I can't use tar.gz on this computer (Windows) without downloading extra stuff, so I'll be loading a .zip file loaded with the asset

I hacked the clearlooks engine to produce a continuous look between the toolbar and menubar. Essentially doing what I was doing before using the smooth engine. Except now the colors are customizable from the appearance manager. Here's a screenshot of the basic "glossy" theme sold with gtk-eng

I have pretty much completed my theme mockup, and quite like the way it looks now. Unfortunatley I am rather short on time and doubt I will be able to make a theme out of it myself. I would probably pick up development of it again if it gains significant interest or other people want to join
