i'm studying how to make metacity themes and i'll try to make several variants of possible design for our future default theme. i think there should be at least one light and one dark flavor. any ideas about colors, etc.? and what about controls - should we create a new gtk+ theme or pick up some existing one? best regards, jay On Mon, 2008-12-08 at 07:47 +0200, Charl Wentzel wrote: > Hi guys > > I'm not yet clued up with Gimp and other graphics tools on Linux, but > I'll try making a revision later.
