Aqualooks 0.1.0 (Alpha)
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This is the first alpha release of the Aqualooks cairo based GTK theme engine. Though this is not feature complete yet and bit buggy, I'm releasing this due to increasing demand and I always respect the community.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS AN ALPHA QUALITY SOFTWARE.
Note:
There are 2 critical issues at the moment I've identified and trying to fix.
Gnumeric and wxDFast giving segmentation faults.
How To:
Install:
1. Extract the archive
2. cd Aqualooks.x.x.x
3. ./configure --prefix=/usr
4. make
5. sudo make install
Docker:
KXDocker: (www.kde-apps.org)

IMHO, some widget borders are too blurry and hard (buttons for instance) compared with other which are smooth and calm... (list headers for instance). I like slick and calm looks.
There is room for improvement at scrollbars as well.

A few pointers though. Even though the buttons are meant to be round, a version with a bit more squared button's would be nice. Im not talking about the 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons, Im talking about the buttons in nautilus for example.
And a question ; I can't get eg. the volume-applet to use the OS X icon. Instead I have the tango one there. What to do ? :)
Thanks for the effort!

In fact, how do you use your computer in the first place? You might want to remove this theme until it is working.
Alpha quality software? It's not even to that point yet. Why did you even consider releasing this for download?

The cause of the crash is the menu applet (Applications, Places, System) which the author is not using so he is not experiencing this crash.
I'm glad he released it and I hope it will become stable soon as it will be my default theme when that happens.

I've been playing around with your Engine and I think it's extremely nice, however, I've found a couple of issues:
In Nautilus:
If you have the text at the left of the buttons, like this:
Back < -
There's an ellipse of what looks like a contour when you hover your mouse over the Back button.
Notebook Control:
Pop gedit up and see how the Tabs are rendered.
Firefox:
Open Bookmarks->Organize bookmarks.
The menus seem to render a couple of pixels higher than they should.
Menus:
If you don't have that Gtk hack, Window Decorations above Menus above Toolbars are quite ugly because the Toolbars are rendered to blend with the Window Decoration, but it happens that above them, there's a Menu. May be you should handle these two possibilities separately and decide the best blend.
Gnome Panel (Personal Opinion):
The buttons simply have no spaces between each other and are way too squared :)
Appart from that, it's great!
Thank you!

I hope for newer versions soon!
Just another note, the compile puts everyting in /usr/local, while my distro looks in /usr. I have Ubuntu Dapper and Edgy.

Another thing you should try to do is making toolbar buttons wider, I don't if this is possible to make on the engine, or whatever... but at least in GTK+ theme files I was unable to simulate that.
Keep up!

I don't know how to use it, do I have to modify a special theme, or is there a theme which uses your engine ?
