Hi Dylan! Re: Menubar shadows: It was there to accentuate the toolbars. I'm not sure about "working the other direction," if you can expound on that (or do a paint-over mockup) that'd help a lot. I'm also aware of windows having no menus, but with (or without) toolbars and the gradient issue there. I anticipated this and thought it don't look so bad at all. http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/3481/screenshot2wv3.png
Re: Nautilus status bar issue: I'm aware of this myself as one of the drawbacks of a dark statusbar. Similar behavior happens on other apps's statusbars (Gnumeric, File-roller, etc) and I don't think neither me nor Kido (the people working on the theme) know how to fix these at this point. Any help from GTK gurus would be appreciated! Re: Status bar gradient: I also wanna see a gradient on the statusbar myself. Anyone know how to do this? Re: Light grey text on Epiphany address bar: Similar behavior happens on Nautilus's address bar (press Ctrl+L). Again, any help on fixing this issue would be great. Re: Recolorable dark area: Maybe in the future this can be something configurable via ~/.gtkrc (just throwing ideas here), but at this point, it's fixed to be a darker shade of the BG color for now. At the moment they're pixmap-based. Dylan McCall wrote: > >> Hey guys.
