I often wish we could have two colourings for controls. One dark one for controls out of focus and light colours for the active window. There is a compiz plugin can fake this but actual correct colouring would be better. For example using the ADD Helper plugin I currently have non-focused windows

Hi. While I still don't see any immediate need for high res, we did start playing around with the uber-detailed style for gnome icon theme [1]. There is nothing stopping you from providing highly detailed artwork for large canvases without diverging from the tango style. We don't have any guideli

Great coincidence, I admit. Didn't even know the blog =). Back to this theme, I think we should keep the gradient line of the top, but change the buttons, cause the originals arent' very easy to use. And then we could try to mix and adapt it with the Ubuntu colors ans see how does it render in the
