Hi, and thanks.
Why don't you keep this page updated?
I discovered in your personal site that this theme reached revision 1.5...
And also I would like to suggest you to use and suggest again Droid fonts. With your CC theme, they're a perfect pair.
regards
Very good. I've always felt that Clearlooks looks a little too bloated. One minor issue, though - on most of the controls in the screenshot, it looks like there could be a few pixels added between the left edge of the element and the left edge of the text contained within.
for me it really the menu looks out of place without it. i had been using the symphony compact gtk theme before this so i got used to it, to me it looks better.
Well done, this is one of my favourites! Is it possible to make the right-aligned arrows in the Gnome-Apllikationmenu a bit smaller? They're lokking way too large.

Quote:env GTK2_RC_FILES=/home/<username>/.gtkrc-eclipse /opt/eclipse-gwt/eclipse

I own a EEE and have despised the screen size till now. Thanks to this theme, I feel I have a bit bigger screen.
when you are a super user the themes are not applied.

try adding panel-menu=16,16 to the gtkrc file to make the gnome main menu also compact.
Is panel size really a problem? I left this out because I did not think anybody would need that smaller.
for me it really the menu looks out of place without it. i had been using the symphony compact gtk theme before this so i got used to it, to me it looks better.
Ive made a new release with your change suggestions.
I like it a lot, somehow it reminds me alot of windows (for better or worse i'm not sure) but it really "feels" right to me.
This is my version http://gnomelook.org/content/show.php/Clearlooks-compact?content=59138 but i give up.
great work, if I would have found that earlier I would not have created this theme.

Hi! Glad you like the theme. I don't know if this handler size can be changed, at least so far I have not found an option for it.
