The best way to find old posts is at https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art I believe this has been discussed in an indirect way, though that was prior to Hardy's release. It's my opinion that Clearlooks is the more interesting theme because of its use of solid "gummy" effects to highlight selected widgets, as opposed to the horrible dotted lines for Murrine and every other theme out there right now. It is surprisingly unique, not just for GNOME but for operating systems in general. As well as looking better, this is also undoubtedly better for usability since it makes the selected widget a lot more visible. The UbuntuLooks theme does a nice job with Clearlooks by not having a gradient for toolbars (which never works because of windows having lots of toolbars and the Metacity theme often adding a gradient itself), instead having a sharp divider beterrn menu and toolbar. Having said that, if Murrine took on the same idea there, I would be much more interested in it. The glassy buttons are well done, and I understand the engine gives artists a lot of power :) Bye, -Dylan -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
