It's a really great looking theme. I'd just like to "request" an orange version. Love the tri-colored buttons.

I need to know how to install this theme!!

alexandrep

Could it be possible to make a variation of Alphacube that would display the application icon in the top-left corner of the window (instead of an arrow)? I've always like that :) Btw, I quite like Alphacube :)

This, along with Alphacube GTK+ theme, is phenomenal. I love it. By the way, what wallpaper was used in screenshots 2 and 3? Keep up the good work. Thanks,

swj

Does the Condensed version need the maximize fix? (right-bottom-corner) ;) thanks!,

endersshadow

Yes, it does. I didn't even realize that it was a bug until I just read your post and saw your screenshot. I'll make the patch for all of the Alphacube variations and send it to Ciccio.

I recive your "update".. tomorrow I upload new version.

endersshadow

Did you upload the regular versions, too? I patched the Condensed and the regulars.

I tested other gtk themes (i.e. blended with round corners) and the maximized behavior was correct. Could you please tell me the section of code in your metacity that deals with bottom maximized state corners, so I might can compare the bottom left and bottom right, since the bottom left does indeed work correctly. :) thanks!

bvc

line 26 rounded_bottom_right="true" change to rounded_bottom_right="false" also change lines 29 and 30 from distance name="left_titlebar_edge" value="10"/ distance name="right_titlebar_edge" value="10"/ to distance name="left_titlebar_edge" value="0"/ distance name="right_titlebar_edge" value="0"/

i have correct whit your suggestion, but, but, but, I don't like when the buttons are "attacht" at the border in full screen mode, I change the distance from 10px to 2 px. thanks a lot for the help!

swj

Perfect (Perfezionare) Thanks (Ringraziamenti) swj

You got it dude, the new (focus/unfocus) is what I was waiting fo !! There is something strange in 0.9 version: is the new Maximized State normal ? I mean, the windows round corners disappeared and the windows seem to be crop at the left and right edges...

lusken

Nevermind if its normal. Its great! I love it like that! This keep its position as the best theme ever IMHO atleast... :-)

CiccioBueo

I not have this bugs... look here: http://www.htpcfuture.it/htpc/forum2/files/bugs1.jpg you are sure to have deleted the old version before to install the new version?

swj

Yes I confirmed, by "installing" the themes (GTK,Metacity) again. Maybe its Ubuntu breezy that I use? Can anyone else confirm this behavior?

CiccioBueo

is the new maximized state. to have a full screen window.

bvc

I don't even understand what you are talking about, but all I see is that the buttons need moved over and the max shaded should be the same. http://kwh.kernow-gb.com/~bvc/theme/devel/corner.png

seldon

i like the new shading on the top bars... makes this theme very nice on a busy desktop. keep up the excellent work! and cant wait till you release that cool icon theme.

CiccioBueo

scav
