I like the different colored buttons but they need icons. How can colors be associated better with windowing functions though? Green doesn't standout in my mind as a minimize button. Red definitely works for close though. Also, on the topic of rounded corners (I realize this is a mock up), if there are to be rounded corners then it's absolutely important that they're antialiased. If they're not then it's just a big glaring negative mark against the theme. It's a matter of fit and finish. <div>On 11/5/07, SzerencseFia <<a href="mailto:szerencsefia@gmail.com">szerencsefia@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Exactly, the usability of the buttons is important. I have started few days ago a survey on an idea of Metacity buttons for the upcoming Hardy release. I am looking forward guys your opinions. <a href="http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/eBlueBall?content=68983"> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/eBlueBall?content=68983</a> cheers, Erno Brian White wrote: > A small nitpick that may be more subjective than anything else--I > prefer it when themes give the close, minimize, and maximize buttons > different shapes (or at least different colors).  From a usablility > standpoint, this means I immediately know the function of each button > without having to experiment to find out. > > Cheers, > Brian White -- ubuntu-art mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art </a> </blockquote></div>
