Yes Deviant lines looks good - I may try and make an xfwm theme similar
if I have the time.<br>

original design that integrates well and has a nice clean appearance.
It's also nice to see a theme that doesn't have very chunky borders
which just waste space and make the interface feel a lot more chunky. I
would in this theme prefer to see a larger title bar text (for
accessibility) in exchange for less wasted space at the bottom - I
think something could be done with this theme to make it work well for
a possible alternate theme for Ubuntu to ship: something that is
unusual and original but not sci-fi and old fashioned.

all, I just made my usual visit of Gnome-Look.org and I found some
interesting ideas we could try to develop for an eventual Ubuntu GTK
Theme.<br>
<br>
First, a theme called <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Deviant+lines?content=73635"
target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
Deviant lines</a> :<br>
Here's a screenshot of my desktop : <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/4390/deviantlinesdo1.png"
target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/4390/deviantlinesdo1.png
</a><br>
<br>
What I like most is the way <span style="font-weight: bold;">top of
windows are rectangular</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">bottom
are rounded</span>. Can metacity do that ? Next, the buttons. I often
see themes with rounded buttons, but I personnaly think it's over. A
nice button, in my opinion, is <span style="font-weight: bold;">rectangular
with really small rounded corners</span> (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://Apple.fr" target="_blank"
onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">Apple.fr</a>
has some). In this theme, buttons are still too rectangular, but nice.
And finally I like the way <span style="font-weight: bold;">windows
seems unified</span>. Well here, there are even too unified because
sometimes you get a little confused, but we should work in that way (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Dark+Ice?content=69886"
target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
DarkIce theme</a> had a great success thanks to its union in the
menubar and metacity border, I think). <br>
<br>
Cheers, <br>
