Thanks Who all the above are examples of eyes catching ideas, that may like or dislike, but for sure are original. and, responding to Salane (thanks for Clear Intrepid Idea...): similar is not equal. similarities may exist that anyway allow to consider an item original. so, Clear Intrepid may have similarities with Aero, but looks anyway fresh and new. Blending ideas from differents OSes is not bad 'per se', is the way that this mixing takes that makes the difference. i would only see develop more than one 'mainstream' theme, to allow a discussion on more than only one idea. to allow a discussion it should also be interesting to have a gtk theme to try. at the moment only the SharpChocolate provides a theme in the wiki page (both for metacity and emerald), and is not simple to have a real feel on how a theme will look like only from some mokups and snapshots. SharpChocolate itself, that looks great on the wiki page, once installed is too dark and confusing. Max ps. sorry but at the moment i'm writing from a webmail that doesn't follows the right mail succession of the thread, so excuse me if you are reading the list in threaded mode -- Email.it, the professional e-mail, gratis per te: http://www.email.it/f Sponsor: Scopri le tue passioni con Leonardo.it!
