I have tried the theme. The reason I say tabs 'should' look a certain way is because tabs are emulating an actual physical object. Thorsten, I understand your point about consistent UI metaphors and it makes a lot of sense. The only thing I'm saying is that you first need to disassociate the UI

'CLASSIC' seems okay, but 'MODERN' is a bit painful on the eyes that they have. Anyway, it's about the end theme, not the engine that matters :\ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

The end theme is usually a function of the engine (unless you go with pixmaps). Look at the specific widget examples further down the page, especially the scrollbars. They're better than anything we have right now IMO. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com
