One thing I would add to totem (not theme/design related) is navigation using the arrow keys (mplayer does this perfectly, something to learn there if you ask me). Looking at the typical ubuntu desktop: two panels taking up space, lots of wasted space in both panels, etc. there are things that ubuntu can change if they had a decent solution (lack of alternatives). I would say that there is more need for gtk itself to change than most typical gnome apps. Firefox and OOo are the main problem children themeing-wise (the dark theme problem wiki page exposes quite a few problem apps). The gnome panel simply needs help...probably won't ever happen, just like major gtk changes...too bad. But the more I think about it totem should not be listed as a problem app (unless someone has more definite problems they can list?) -- Ken -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
