Remember to vote for your preferred theme to attract new users of Puppy rather than as something personally pleasing.
Cheers
Could that be the action buttons in the title bar? They are minimalistic and perhaps have an "unfinished" look about them, despite the coloured rollovers.Pizzasgood wrote:I kinda like them and I kinda don't. They just seem tacky to me. I don't really know what to suggest though.
I have given RevolutionX a new start button in the latest theme pack, but I don't have True-Curve at all.Pizzasgood wrote: I've always liked True-Curve and RevolutionX (in various old dotpups). True-Curve would need a little bit of tweaking on the fonts. RevolutionX could use a little work in the taskbar, right now it seems a bit glaring. Alternate colorschemes for both would also be cool.
Now that would be great! I'm no artist and what I've done is to improve or modify the efforts of others. Something original would be good.Pizzasgood wrote: The wallpapers are okay, but I think something Puppy-ish would also be kool.
I'll play around with Gimp and IceWM next week and see what I can come up with.
I have just uploaded a revised version of the Velvet themes. They now incorporate a depressed button for the active application and the other buttons are less obvious in their coloring (see revised snapshot in first post).Pizzasgood wrote:It's the taskbar and the buttons on it that bug me. The paw print is cut off, and the buttons contrast the rest to much (the rest's fault more than theirs).
Thanks for the encouragement, Eyes-Only. I hope you enjoy the relatively minor changes I've made to the versions now in the first post of this thread.Eyes-Only wrote:Personally WhoDo, I think you've made a great step in the right direction.
Keep up the great work---and thanks for the above freebies which I've added to all four of my IceWM desktop distros!![]()
Thanks, G2. You and I are clearly on the same wavelength where Truecurve is concerned. For my money it just doesn't have the "Wow!" factor that will encourage further exploration. I'd actually prefer my modified IcebergX, if we were going for that crisp, blue-white approach.GuestToo wrote:truecurve is not my favourite theme ... it seems to be popular, though
Ok, I'll make a mock up with the button the way you suggest. No problem.Pizzasgood wrote:Looking at the screenshot, it looks better, but the start button has more empty space than I like. Maybe if the paw was to the left and followed by "Menu" or "Puppy"?
BTW, the green is my favorite.
Yep. I'll do one with "Start", one with "Menu" and one with "Launch" or maybe "Programs", just to see how they look.Eyes-Only wrote:I do agree with what he's said WhoDo with perhaps the Paw Print being placed off to the left, and how about a stylish"Menu" being placed beside it as you're so great at doing with the "Start" word? Something like that?
Good point. I hadn't gone that far in my thinking about the interface. The mock ups were just to get people like you popping their eyes out at the prospect!Eyes-Only wrote:However, how about updating the menu icons also being updated in "/usr/share/pixmap" to display and equal the beauty of you desktop and ROX icons? You were probably going to get around to that anyway I would imagine now that I think of it... Yet I couldn't help noticing how "out of place" they were with the rest of your icon theme.
Glad you like them. It's a personal mixture of KDE-CrystalSVG, OS-K and Futurosoft 0.5 themes. I have combined all of my favourites into a SuperGPLIconThemePak and uploaded to MU's mirror. I'm sure it'll show up there eventually. Download is about 18Mb though.Eyes-Only wrote:BTW WhoDo: What IS the icon theme that you're using for the desktop/ROX there in the above shot? I seem to have a similar one for the desktop---but those directory ones in ROX take the cake Exclamation What a beautiful set!
18megs huh? So? And your point is?"Glad you like them. It's a personal mixture of KDE-CrystalSVG, OS-K and Futurosoft 0.5 themes. I have combined all of my favourites into a SuperGPLIconThemePak and uploaded to MU's mirror. I'm sure it'll show up there eventually. Download is about 18Mb though."
No problem, Mark. I'll do that straight away.MU wrote:http://puppyfiles.org/packages/Icons/Su ... conPak.pup (18 MB!)
whoodo:
please create your own folder in /incoming/, there is some old stuff, and it gets difficult to sort out what can be removed.
Thanks, Mark
Yes. I'm about to create our Puppy 2.14CE: Development Ideas/Requests under Cutting Edge. Please post there when you get a chance.Eyes-Only wrote:While we're at it on "ideas": Back here awhile ago, and I can't recall the thread (though Lobster might) a person posted a "fix" to the "Wizard Wizard" for the mouse settings in Puppy 2.xx series to make the mouse left-handed. ...[snip]... Interested?
Apparently the coding makes a radio button that you can tick off for left/right-handedness and is set right-handed by default.
