-Fixed a little glitch, icon sizes on the taskbar.
I love this theme!!
Just one request/question... When I log out or want to shut down my PC, the dialog looks a little weird. Like it has the theme from the menubar tiled all over...
Is there a way to fix that?
Thanks :D
Great theme. Only gripe is lack of transparency in the menu bars (application list, application menus, etc). Good job otherwise. I'll keep it until I'm bored ;-)
A linux theme with that name was released before by *kal-el84 on deviantart.
I think that you have to respect him and rename your theme.
You can find the original theme here: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/33281142/
this is starting to be annoying... ¬¬
why you didn't take the time to read a bit before posting?
first, the author you link to already posted here, why don't you read a few posts up?
second, his theme was based on a windows theme by another author (fantastic902) who gave me permission for this release.
third, since this theme started to be developed before kal-el release, includes totally new artwork (including a metacity theme) and he didn't even credited some of his resources... why should i change the name?
i could go for a fourth or fifth but, to be sincere, i just don't want to.
how would you feel if you work for a week or two and some1 comes with a comentary like yours...
no they aren't free :(
but for example, lucida is shipped together with m$ windows nor m$ office.
you can also browse http://www.fontfreak.com for free fonts.
thanks for the comment :)
I did my porting of Fantastic and a little tutorial and published them on deviantart on May, 14, so I think you could see and add also my file and give me my credits rather than create a new content.
The link is http://www.deviantart.com/view/33281142/
Let me know..sorry for my English.
Bye
I know, I talked to you before on devinatart and you are already credited, why didn't you take the time to take a look at the readme, or even better, read the description of the file before posting? ;)
Well, I decided to go on my own because first, I already started my port before you released yours. Second, to be sincere, yours seems to not be as accurated as I wanted. Third you didn't worked on a Metacity theme to go with GTK nor a matching XMMS skin.
Finally, why don't you want to let people choose between them? Asking me to not release it is not a good policy.
PS: You better credit (and contact) roberTO, original author of the GTK theme you modded.

I dodn't tell to you to not release your theme, I said if you want that you can put also my file in the same theme, but I didn't want to make critic..
There are no problem for me, my file still remain on deviantart..bye
I think I misunderstood the part 'give me my credits rather than create a new content' or at least I wasn't clear enough, sorry in that case.
If you want me to add your file I wouldn't have any problems but... don't you think it will be a bit confusing for the user to download a file and find 2 different themes?
Anyway a link to your file will be present on the readme and the description, as before, cheers :)

Thank you! It's fantastic!

Hi! Nice theme! BTW, what's the font in the metacity? Thanks!
The one you see on the screenshot is a typical Mac font, Handel Gothic D. You can also try Lucida Console, which looks pretty good :)
Thanks! But aren't they free, isn't it? Bye!

The Download link goes to a screenshot instead of a zip.
Thanks, I've reduced the file size and now is solved :)
