Yes, I fully agree on that a forum should be set up, with categories for "wallpapers", "GTK-themes" etc. with "submissions" in each, and discussions on each submission, as well as relevant debates in general categories. Btw, when I get some time I'll try to make a suggestion for a wallpaper, ju

Hi all, Have many of you checked out the 'Too Human' theme? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/TooHuman I think its exactly the direction for Hardy to go in, and for those who like the Fela Kuti wallpaper, I think this would match it wonderfully. What do you guys think of i

Hmm, what exactly do you dislike about the maximize/etc? I think those buttons are perfect because they are simultaneously unobtrusive and immediately obvious as to their functions. -Sumit P.S. That wood background is rather nice and would work well with the theme. I just worry it might not ha

I like the Too Human Idea, it resembles WEB Style from KDE wich is one of the best since long time ago. Buttons are pretty good and unontrusibe, maybe some effect on mouse over would be good. By the way, colors in Gelatin are very good (well, orange, not the blue one) I love the idea of Union, but

I think less unobtrusive is better, and yes, exactly to highlight the window contents rather than the interface itself. The interface should be nothing other than a container for what you're working on. A pretty container, yes (visions of Apple iPod and Macbook retail boxes), but a container n
