Good work Valentin! The circular buttons are nice but the shadows and
highlight does not match the theme (down light because the menubar has
dropped shadow) but that can be corrected later. I think the theme is
good and you should talk with Giuseppe and you both incorporate your
ideas into one theme (I'm talking about the rounded buttons). The button
on the left though should be replaced by an application icon. About the
colors - I'm not shure. Isn't it too macintosh? One last thing - if you
use rounded buttons they should be a little bit bigger so that they are
easy target.

Btw you gan get the icons from here:

You will need bazaar to make a local branch.

That is true. Btw how can I compile this without breaking the existing
gtk? I can't wait to try this out!


Giuseppe with the pixmap engine we are making the mockups alive. It is
not going to be used in the finished theme later. This is kind of test
to test usability and user comfort. And when we are pleased we can try
to implement this in a real engine.
