Vincent, Tyrex is just a flat window theme. Unity originaly comes with a matching metacity theme for gnome, which is of course not available in xfce. I just picked this window decorator because unity meant to be flat. If you know other one that fits better let me know. I haven't added anything to Launchpad before so I have to investigate how to do it.

Because, I have a 22 inches monitor and the 32 pixels size look so tiny that hardly visible. And thinking that those who are using larger monitors are the majority already (17 inches and up). > >> >> If we pick Unity as our default theme the panel color should be: >> bg[NORMAL] = "#d6d6d6" >> -Add this line to the panel code just above the 'xthickness = 0' line. > > As Jari said, that should be a modification of Unity of course :) (Wasn't it > possible to specify application-specific background colours?

I personally don't know how to modify the theme to include the panel color. I might ask the author, maybe he can give some clues. But if from whatever reason, the modification wouldn't be possible; would it be acceptable adding a workaround suggestion to the documentation that explain how to comment out the line from the gtkrc-2.0 if need be, or changing the color to something else. I can write this part of it if necessary. > > On Mon, Aug 4, 2008 at 9:47 AM, Jesus Meneses <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> I'm sorry for interrupt this discussion, but if we meant to mae xubuntu >> more appealing to the view we should take this theme as an example of good >> taste, functionality and damn straight HOT! >> http://www.xfce-look.org/content/show.php/Elegant+Brit?content=74553 >> >> This theme has been evolving from a simple GTK theme and already has GDM, >> Splash screen, guifications, and some icons on the way. > > Nice, though as Jari said, it's probably not very well suited to be default. > I'm going to try it though :) > >> >> Once again, sorry for interrupt > > I for one appreciate all input :) > > -- > Vincent > > -- > xubuntu-devel mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel > > -- xubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
