The icons aren't fitting perfect but I can imagine a smooth, nice GTK interface with some black highlights. Needs some work though. To all GTK coders: Can this be done? <a href="http://guentherbeyer.de/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/ubuntu_804_theme_test_04_2.png"> http://guentherbeyer.de/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/ubuntu_804_theme_test_04_2.png</a> Comments please.</blockquote><div> Sorry for late reply... I really think this one contains some quality material, albeit I am not certain that it is possible to implement as a real theme.  1) The (almost) monochrome icons in the panel work really well. The most controversial here is probably the dark Ubuntu logo. However I personally think it looks more professional and stylish than the normal orange incarnation. We should really consider this (and lobby sabdfl to allow it).  2) Smooth texture. I don't know if we can implement that smooth gradient going from the window frame through the menu and toolbar. It might be possible to make it look good in Nautilus, but then other apps will likely break it. One breakage and it appears amateurish. We should experiment with this - maybe with support from the theme engine. I will try it out if I can find the time.  3) What I would like to see in <a href="http://guentherbeyer.de/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/ubuntu_804_theme_test_04_2.png">http://guentherbeyer.de/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/ubuntu_804_theme_test_04_2.png</a> is a lot more of the widgets mocked up. Text entries, scrollbar, combo boxes. Can you do that? Cheers, Mikkel </div> </div>
