I don't know if this is very stylish now, but I don't like this "fat borders, huge colour gradients, pseudo 3d" style. Your intention to create clean theme is great, however I don't think that clearlooks2 qualifies as 'clean'. Also don't try to make something breezy-like. Aim for " ...something completely different" (better!). Just ensure, that breezy's theme is always available for those, who doesn't like the new one. OK, few ideas then. * The wallpaper is beautiful - it's light, it's colourful, it's inviting and most importantly, it's not boring. Go to the shots.osdir.com and compare (k)ubuntu's wallpapers to ones included in other oses. Breezy looks boring (and so does SimplyMepis for that matter). One small issue though. Either you have to make it darker or default fonts should be dark enough to be readable. * As for metacity you should continue in the style of your wallpaper - thick borders, no (or at least less) gradients. I think the pattern you are using is unnecessary - too much detail can be heavy on eyes. I'm using mist on my breezy box. Of course, you could argue that it's too simple, but it's really clean and easy on eyes. Also metacity theme should contrast with wallpaper a bit more. * Min. max and X buttons could be wider. Easier targets and perhaps it would improve look of the so-standard "3 squares on the right" look. * Tango doesn't go well with your theme. It should be modified to be less colourful. Modified suede would be much more appropriate. * Almost every other os I have tried uses gray controls. Why? Isn't there enough other colours to choose from? * Some experimentation with transparent panels wouldn't hurt too. I'm sorry if i'm too harsh here and there. And where can we download your wallpaper? -- Sandis
