Description: I've searched a lot for a good theme. I've found Graphite-ish http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Graphite-ish?content=76989 but what I want was a clear theme (something between glossy buttons and human menu). So I've started editing Graphite-ish and I finished into creating something new (I hope) with the pixmap engine. The good thing is that every icon in the theme is in SVG and you can use it according to the Creative Common License to build your own theme.
To do - optimize all SVG files - export all SVg in PNG for faster rendering - clean unused code - comment the code
I've seen that the "pixmap engine" darks the disabled icons (such as stop, back,...). I don't know how to change it in the dropdown menu. I want to blend the disabled icon and I succed in doing this with buttons but no with menu.Last changelog:
19/04/08 v0.5 Scrollbar are no longer grey. The code has been cleaned and files optimized. 10/04/08 v0.4 Combobox and option menu are no longer in mac style. Partially resolved the pixmap bug that darks disabled icon. 09/04/08 v0.3 Removed mac style from scrool bar. Scrollbar are now white and change to grey on mouse over. Fixed Focus image.
Please don't do that. There's enough Mac clones out here (Aurora Steel just shot itself in the foot by doing that), make this your OWN theme. It's already off to a good start, don't muck it up by replicating someone else.
Maybe I've not write it in correct english. I want to remove mac style from this theme. Progressbar are original, and now also scrollbar are original and no more mac-style. I'll change soon also combobox.
I agree with you this is my own theme not a mac-like theme.
It is a bug in the engine, there is a patch (in this site) that claims to fix the bug and uses alpha to fade out the inactive icons. Another way to work around this is to use different engine just for the buttons that have icons, murrine or aurora are good at buttons with lots of options.
there you go Marco:
