When I hit something half-decent, I'm going to develop it similarly to Kith/Kin, but I'd like to know I'm getting warmer first. If you post links to other themes, I'll try to incorperate what you like, wether I personally like it or not!

I've also switched to gray for the window contents. -- -Ken Vermette </BLOCKQUOTE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <BLOCKQUOTE> brilliant. This is well on the way to challenging Mac, IMO. And it's not a copycat. If we go in this direction then the first words I say when showing someone Ubuntu for the first time will no longer have to be "don't worry, it doesn't have to look like this" Duncan </BLOCKQUOTE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <BLOCKQUOTE> -- 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> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> </BLOCKQUOTE> It would be great if Ken can make available the svg's or the png's that he used making his mockup. Thay can be used starting developing some candidates GTK made using different engines like Murrine, Clearlooks or Aurora.. It's almoust August so I think we can focus on coding somethig... However, great mockups, it's original and different from OSX and Windows, we can give Ubuntu a real "unique" appearance! Mario </BODY> </HTML>
