Looking very promising. I like it quite a bit so far, but I would recommend using different or smaller -, + and x icons for the window decoration - the current ones look... somewhat queer.

Good luck.

yes, the buttons were the first thing I noticed...that they didn't fit at all.

A person on another forum said the same thing. I may rework them, but I'm focusing more on the GTK theme right now.

Sure thing. Oh, and what about making it GPL? :-)

I'll definitely make it freely modifyable, but I'd like to prevent it from being distributed for a fee by anyone but me. I'm still looking for a license. It's not a big deal; I'll do GPL if I can't find a different one.

Well if you ever want your theme to be accepted and distributed with Gnome, you need to make it GPL, like the rest of Gnome is. :-)

That is a very polished looking theme, though I'm not fond of that shade of blue.

After the initial version is finished, I'll release it tinted in more straight blue, red, and gold flavors. I just want to get this one done first.

are those mockups? If not, once the theme is out of your preview app, how do you plan on getting the menubar, toolbar and all those other borders to line up in all the diff apps and window types?

Looks very promising!

Some bits of the border at the top may look like it's part of the menu, but it's actually part of the metacity theme, and will be there even without a menu.Menus in other locations still look okay, though I'll admit they don't look as good as they do at the top of the window.

I was very careful with color choice after failing in my original attempt to port the Gonx theme mockups to GTK (the ones here: http://cotito.free.fr/projects/gonx+index.html).

I'm still tweaking it a bit, but I think it'll look good in most cases. The only think I'm having a real problem with now is deciding how to do side-tabs.
