Description: Sigel OS ver2.0 is a professional theme for GTK2 and Metacity. Many hours of work went into this theme. All NEW graphics and code based on the PIXMAP engine. Designed for usage and speed in mind ;-) I hope everyone enjoy's it. PLEASE look at the "Better Screen Shot" at the bottom before voting on this theme. The Preview I iploaded to Gnome-Look doesn't do the theme any justice. Enjoy, Bandit..
Hello everyone,
This is so far my best theme yet. I am trying to produce the perfect theme.
Although not everyone can agree what would make a perfect theme. I would appriciate everyone's comments.
Thanks,
Bandit
It's actually pretty good. I can see you put a lot of time into it. Keep in mind I'm a perfectionist and these are just my first thoughts :D
-need prelight state on metacity buttons and gtk spin buttons. Not important normally but for those that do graphics is it's very nice to have on spin buttons and I think all mcity's should have it.
-need metacity maximized state with no borders or rounded edges for max viewing
-yellow line at the top of the notebook???
-combo button is just a button. Make the bottom left square instead of cut so that it lines up with text Entry. Unless you like it like the button!
-base active and selected colors are the same...a BIG no no
-titlebar is too big vertically. Make it average and let those that use large font sizes make it bigger because they use large fonts. Use metacity-theme-viewer
Thanks for the reply :-)
Many of the things you mentioned are being implimented into the next update set to come out by the first week of July.
The yellow (gold).. I do not know what I was thinking. Some how I got it confused with the ToolTips BG.. I realized that yesterday when I was working on my DARK version of this theme.
Soon as I finish with Sigel2 Dark this weekend I will update this theme.
This was the second PIXMAP theme I done, I kinda rushed releasing it. Mostly cuz I was so happy that it turned out as well as it did.
But, I agree with you totaly.
A theme must fuction well. It can look good, but if it isnt easy to use then it isnt worth using.
I hope more users put there inputs and suggestions in.
I am very new to theme'n in Gnome and could use some helpful hints :-)
Thanks,
Bandit
This is a very nice theme. The suggestions made earlier are good ones.
I don't know if this is possible, but can the stripes on the right of the title bar be anti-aliased?
I can't wait for the DARK release. :-)
By the way, thank you so much for packing both the Metacity theme and the GTK 2.x theme in one package, instead of two separate packages (like most other themes are).
Do you have a recommended icon theme to go with it?
Thanks :-)
I actualy prefre the stock Gnome Icon Theme.
Many themes out there are not crisp, clear and consistant also they are hard on my eyes.
If you looking for a dark theme of these. Try looking at my DigitalDark-2 series I just released. Just click on my name at the top for a list of all my themes.
