Not so fast …

When you think 32 = 24, you’re distracted.

In other news, maybe Beagle isn’t so bad. Especially with the new integration with Nautilus and Deskbar.

All you Gnome users — what theme do you use? Clearlooks has nice widgets, but it’s too bright. And the Gartoon icon theme is awesome (emerge gartoon or use gnome-art to get it). Maybe I’ll take a look at SmoothGNOME.

    Simple: Thin appearance, high performance. I say it’s also got a nicely coloured titlebar.

    “… got nicely coloured titlebars.”, I meant.

    True. But Clearlooks has such cool widgets.

    Personally, I prefer thin and flat widgets unlike the bulging ones in Clearlooks. I also don’t like the rounded window corners and window borders are too thick for my preference. I used to use ThinIce with Sawfish/E and Simple looks quite similar to ThinIce.

    Talking of WM themes, here’s something I made. This is another mod, that I totally loved.

    Nice. Definitely material for a full-fledged theme.

    Thanks. Can the button placement be a part of the theme as well? I move the close button to the left using Metacity’s button_layout property.

    In other news, maybe Beagle isn’t so bad. Having an alias like “kb” and “stb” defined to quickly stop (when it begins to irritate) and start the daemon , makes it so much more usable. I’ve actually, begun depending on it oflate!

    I think it can be done. You just bundle the icon-set, MCity theme and GTK-engine as one to get the theme.

    Why not just put it in Gnome startup?

    The system seems pretty sluggish sometimes ( atleast mine does seems so) with the indexing. So, just a way to ward off momentary irritation. ( Yeah, at a cost later ).

    Gosh. It isn’t too intrusive on my PIII 550E, so maybe you’ve hit a bug?
