Re: [ubuntu-art] "Union" Theme

Hey this is amazing, great theme! Just few ideas about how to improve: 1.- Make the top and bottom bar the same shade. It seems that in the center is darker than the corners. 2.- Maybe transparency in the active window will not work well, and the background colour of the "content area" should be w

Thanks for the input everyone, I'll have a batch of improvements ready for tomorrow night. If I missed you, please tell me. Anyway, several issues were mentioned, I'll recap them and cover solutions, since this theme I hope to handle differently than BasicIdeals, I'm going to explain the design de

[ubuntu-art] A working theme I made which I almost forgot about...
