Glory-Simplex

GTK2 Themes by darkmatter 34 comments

Sorry for the late response guys.

DBO: Yes I have been busy, but have been working on Glory as time allows. The theme is still active and will be receiving an update in the near future. As for helping maintain the them, I'm open to suggestions (and regarding the license thing. I know some people have this aversion to closed licensing, but as I've discussed with others, there is a reason that the licensing is "currently" closed, but it will be moved to a more open license in the future). If you want to discuss helping out or whatnot, I can be found in the usual haunts on irc :P

skystar2: The issue is known to me, just haven't had much time to get on to fixing it, but will solve the issue after Glory gets its overhaul to the new syntax :) - Oct 22 2007

Gnome Screenshots by darkmatter 9 comments

Thanks for the support.

As to the issue with the warnings, there have been some changes done to the gtk theme spec. I'm installing gusty in about an hour and then I'll get on bringing the theme up to snuff again :)

Just been busy as of late, but Glory is still in active development. I'll get on an update asap :D - Oct 22 2007

Glory: Evolution

Gnome Screenshots by darkmatter 4 comments

Its just a theme for the moment. its easier to design with pixmaps than it is to constantly recompile.

Once I release the pixmap version and get some feedback, however, it will make the transition to an engine :) - May 16 2007
MorningGlory (preview Release)

GTK2 Themes by darkmatter 23 comments

Thanks,

I just returned from a bit of a net free hiatus, but I'll be working on an update this weekend, and its a rather substantial one as well.

As for missing parts and bugs, some of those are fixable, some are flaws in the pixbuf engine, but I'll try to get some of those corrected in the next build. I wont be bothering to fix them all though, as the theme is just a 'live mockup' if you will for an engine.

oh, and the font in the screenshots is Segoi UI... you know, the <shudder> VISTA </shudder> font. ;) - May 03 2007

MorningGlory (preview Release)

GTK2 Themes by darkmatter 23 comments

Thats just some duct-taped beryl thing I did for the screenie... its amora buttons and the deco was just a quick vrunner toss together.

I don't actually have that on my system anymore :/

MorningGlory Mod

GTK2 Themes by PingunZ 15 comments

xfile087, you need to install the pixbuf engine to have the widgets display properly.


If you dont have pixbuf installed, gtk will pick up the colors but will fallback to the default widgets. hence the problem you are experiencing. - Feb 04 2007
MorningGlory (preview Release)

GTK2 Themes by darkmatter 23 comments

It's SuSE's Industrial icons. (basically the reason for Tango) ;) - Jan 29 2007
MorningGlory (preview Release)

GTK2 Themes by darkmatter 23 comments

:)

I'll be releasing a small update in a few minutes. It's basically the same but with a few fixes, but will likely be the last release of MorningGlory in its current incarnation.

Due to some rather annoying gtk/pixbuf bugs, I'm currently working on an artistic redesign of the theme and an overhaul of the gtkrc... the general feel will be the same, but will have a more "tangoish" palette shift and some changes to widget handling etc. The current (unreleased) dev state looks (thus far) like its fixed a few common app to app consistency issues.. hopefully the "new and improved" MorningGlory will have a beta in a day or two ;)

Anyway.. back to getting the preview update packed - Jan 28 2007

System Sounds by Lucy8i8 36 comments

Most distributions have p7zip in their repo's. it its the POSIX version of 7zip.

It integrates with most archival programs - Nov 30 2006

Beryl/Emerald Themes by gadd 12 comments

Don' worry about it... you can just include credits for the buttons, but please take note that the buttons should be under the licensing terms for SolidSlate (Artistic 2.0) with something kinda like 'contact the original author if you wish to use... blah blah blah" I'm a fair guy and more than willing to let people make use of anything I should contribute to the community, as long as they ask for permission to mod/port, etc. :).

Besides, I cant really place the blame on you for anything... as it seems, during my recently having been AWOL, someone decided it was 'ok' to GPL my work. So I've got a lot to try to straighten out over the next little bit. :)

But anyway, permission granted, it's actually a fairly good mod, but WAYYY to blue :P

Best Regards,

DM

Field

GTK2 Themes by AlexR1 21 comments

put the distributor-logo.png into a folder... for this example ~/.icons... add the main menu to the panel and open the configuration panel, in the tree go to apps/panel/objects

find the object who's info lists it as the menu (object_type menu-object), check the box that says to use-custom-icon, and right-click > edit the custom_icon key.. enter the path tho the icon image (in this example: /home/(username)/.icons/distributor-logo.png

it should give you the proper scale button image that way - Jun 06 2006

Gentle Gnome mockup

Various Gnome Stuff by Gentleman 187 comments

...but still some issues with the concept...

Though this is relatively clean...it appears to be a little to candy coated...this is GNOME after all...

But still, all in all a great concept. - Nov 18 2005

You rally can't release someone else's work under GPL...

Plus, though this is art, and there is nothing wrong with nudity...the general public may take offence to it being so openly displayed...

Please attach a warning as to content...out of respect for the community. - Nov 18 2005

The initial posts of your theme on the Ubuntu Forums were pretty good, and this just keeps getting better.

Can't wait to see what the final release will look like. - Sep 30 2005

Much more balanced. Thanks. :) - Aug 31 2005
Ubuntu Flare

Wallpapers Ubuntu by Fearan 8 comments

Yeh, I was refering to the ternary. Sorry.

I just think it would be more balanced if it was of smaller size. In reference to the 'lighter colors', I was thinking along the lines of having the text and ternary better match the palette used in rest of the image. (It would make the ubuntu name stand out a bit more)

All in all, it is a very nice image as is. - Aug 31 2005

Vista-Inspirate

Icon Sub-Sets by saki 76 comments

Once again I am amazed by the quality of your icons, saki.

This set is going to be awesome. NuoveXT kicks butt, Vista-Inspirate will kick even more butt.

I especially like the action buttons...

Only suggestion I would make is doing something a little different with the icon for home. Even though I have no problem with Windows inspired icon themes, that one png is nearly an exact clone of it's Windows counterpart. - Aug 28 2005

Is cvs up again? I tried logging in the other day...no go.

I know their making the move to subversion, but would really love to get my hands on that gradient style now.:) - Apr 08 2005

KDesktop Menu

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by rfujimoto 115 comments

The fix given by vdboor for the compile error works with

Installs perfectly on SuSE 9.2 with KDE 3.4 - Apr 04 2005

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by rfujimoto 115 comments

KDesktop Menu

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by rfujimoto 115 comments

Have the same compile error here.
SuSE ships with automake 1.9, though im not sure what version the autoconf is.
I'll have to look into it. - Apr 04 2005
KDesktop Menu

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by rfujimoto 115 comments

This is one of the best improvements I've seen/tried for KDE to date.

One suggestion:

Would it be possible to add a menu entry for the currently focused app?

For example: if Konqueror is in focus, the menu would read- "Programs" "Konqueror" "Actions" "Desktop", with the "Konqueror" entry displaying the appropriate menu entries.

If it is possible, it would greatly improve desktop integration by combining your desktop menu with the existing "osx-like" option for desktop behavior. - Apr 03 2005
OSX-Emulation/SuSE-LinuKS-9.2

That's one of the best SuSE setups I've seen.

Excellent wall. Do you have the url where it can be found? - Apr 03 2005

KDE 3.x Splash Screens by Underdog45 2 comments

Not bad. I'd say that's the most original use of the new logo that I have yet seen.
What would be the name of the icon set you used for the splash? - Mar 24 2005
Aqua Slackware

Wallpaper Other by adrenalize 9 comments

One of the best Slackware walls I've ever seen. Just started using Slack and it's the first wall I grabbed. And that version of the Slackware orb would make a great icon for the k menu. (hmmm... may just have to GIMP one up) - Nov 28 2004
