Re: min-max-close buttons:<br>
They're a bit fixed on the Dust-2 attachment in the wiki page. However,<br>
they're still not proper min-max-close buttons. Gotta make better ones...<br>

<br>
</div>Btw, I did the wallpaper (and the Dust concepts). I'm glad someone likes it<br>
:) Any more feedback on how Dust can be improved?<br>
<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Rico<br>

Personally i think having a bit more colour full theme wouldn't hurt ubuntu, something that looks fresh and fun, I do love that ibex wallpaper, it is amazing. <br>
</div></div><br></div>
</blockquote></div></div><div>I like the new version Dust-2. I am using it on my laptop right now and many of my friends actually asked me what it is. Nobody has likened it to OS-X or Vista yet!<br><br>One thing I noticed, I'm not sure if its native to firefox, but when you right click on the toolbar you get a menu with two checkboxes. The text beside the checkbox is spaced far too close.<br>

</blockquote></div>Quick question. You mentioned that you're still undecided with the min/max/close buttons. Well the 'embossed' look in dust-2 isn't bad if you can apply it to min and max as well. I was wondering if it is possible to implement the one in the pidgin buddy list screenshot on the wiki?<br>
