Hi!

I think we can just forget about this pixmap engine and the buttons I made.
We can just keep an eye on them when creating the theme and the engine; I
guess Clearlooks is the best choice, and its buttons are not that different
to the ones I made.

However, the only positive thing I see in the screenshots is the fact that
the corners of the buttons in the taskbar are less round when using the
images. Therefore, would it be possible please to make corners of the
*buttons* and the *windows* more sharp in the theme, *nearly* without any
rounding?

Also, I have currently a lot of work but I hope after half of June I can
have a look to the theme and the code of the engine. I do not know anything
about it -- even not the language it is written in -- but I guess I can do
something anyway.



Another point is *the icons*. I think it is difficult to develop both the
theme and the icons in the same time. Don't you think guys we should make a
separate project for the icon theme, with guidelines corresponding to what
we want? Maybe it would be easier, and would possibly interest more
contributors.

Cheers,

François
