Description: A shiny lemonish desktop theme based ubon the latest ubuntu human murrine engine.
I modified the original theme to achieve a mix of the best features of both the murrine and the clearlooks engines (according to my standards that is).Last changelog:
18-04-2008: Included an xfce package including the wfwm4 theme and a theme tweak to display the panel background in xfce 4.
It looks nice, but it seems too yellow. That would detract from the usability. I think the idea is good, but I sure would not want to use this theme on a daily basis.
Well, on the one hand I think you're right when it comes to think of a theme on a large scale. Most users would rather go for a grey/slightly bluish interface (which is the most commonly used color for desktop themes). On the other hand, I've found out a few users (including me) won't feel any eye fatigue using a slightly shinier color. Matteroffactly I always try out my themes for over a week before publishing as I've often ended up NOT liking some of my earlier themes only after a couple of days for the very same reason you've mentioned!). As a conclusion, I reckon we don't have an eyefatigue issue here BUT I'd tend to think it sure is a question of taste, which would be perfectly understandable as I must honestly admit this choice of colour doesn't quite meet the most common standards.
Ya i saw that! lol thanks!
I replied to your thread, I think that was a good idea, the script sharing. Swing on by some time maybe bring a couple people or something. :)
Take care.
