Have you considered, the following hybrid approach:  * use 5.2's desktop image instead of the monitor (monitor might imply more than is appropriate such as resolution control, refresh rate  * using 5's colors/graphics that are currently inside the monitors but putting them inside the desktop  * using the wrench instead of the magic wand in the "Custom" option to add that visual representation of the intended meaning Kyle Mirco Müller wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:1190669068.22078.7.camel@vaio" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Am Dienstag, den 25.09.2007, 05:06 +0800 schrieb Joel Bryan Juliano: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Nice work!

The 6.2 one is nice regarding the idea with the wrench and different layout of stars to convey the different effects levels. A mix of both approaches would be best. </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Also, the ccsm needs more focus, since currently it's really too "technical", I mean there's a category for "general", "desktop", "extras", "window management", and more and so, that I think can be consolidated into a more unified and easy to understand way.

But right now I'm more in serious bug-hunting mode, than doing a HIG-compliant ccsm replacement from scratch (design-wise). Best regards... Mirco </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
