[ubuntu-art] my oppinions and a theme idea (mock up)

[Max Tristen]

hi people :) i subscribed to the mailing list a week or 2 ago and have been following it with alot of interest. i like the direction that the Hardline theme is taking, it feels more finished and professional to me.

tbh I'm not a great lover of the current version of the theme.. it has some nice features but they just lacking the finish off which they require.

its too heavy and it feels like an effort just to look at it.. i don't think the colours in the background the buttons works, they're would be better to have a main colour theme not to try mixing other colour themes with the browns of Ubuntu. i do however like this trend of mixing the top bar of windows with the menu bar, that looks very sexy, and that what i think we need to do to the Ubuntu theme, we have to make it sexy. its is one of the main factors which would persuade people to convert to ubuntu. oh another this I'm not too fond of is the amount of curves most of these mock ups seem to have. its a bit too much for me! REMEMBER! if you round all your corners then you loose your edge!
 
I've made a mock up of what i think would look sexy as a default theme. 
 
i tried to make my own alternative hardy theme wiki page but it wasn't happening, so instead you can find mine at..
