QtGain

Audio Apps by Vegeta 87 comments

thanks for the info!

but even if it isn’t your fault, we could still implement it ourselves, e.g. by calling

metaflac --show-tag REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN $filename

if that outputs a line, it is already tagged and we can skip it. - Feb 23 2014

Audio Apps by Vegeta 87 comments

hi, as i have increasingly more FLAC files, i notice that running QtGain over my whole library makes it blaze across MP3 files (I guess it skips them if they are tagged – good).

But it reprocesses every FLAC file. can you make it skip FLACs that are already tagged, as well? - Feb 13 2014

that would be a good idea if there was a public repo.

there’s more to a theme like this than what’s in the package, i.e. build scripts and layered image files. maybe scss/sass/less/stylus files, too.

i think it’s time the author puts this in a public repo and allows someone whom he trusts and who has got more time to merge pull requests from us. i’d gladly contribute this way! - May 21 2013

Skulpture

Application Styles by skulptor 371 comments

hi, i like some ideas that make parts of the theme really gorgeous (if you choose a non-win95 color scheme), but other parts are imho lacking.

i’d like to hear your opinion on those:

1. progress bars from the center are unfortunate. if the missing parts are on both sides, i never can seem to get at a glance how much the value is. i’d like a “progress bar from the left” option

2. The checkbox-× doesn’t correspond to the close button and the clear-textfield button, it fades rather than being pointed. i’d like it unified

3. the new KDE 4.10 application menu window button is missing

4. i’d like to hide the groove for the scrollbar handle, or use a groove as wide as the handle itself, not a smaller one.

5. combobox arrow handle width is dependent on scrollbar width: i like a narrow scollbar, but the combobox arrows will stick out if i make the scrollbar too small

6. i’d like to have an option to drag by every window part, not only the title bar, (and consequently an option to not color the title bar differently than the rest of the window)

7. if the border width is et to 0, there’s no way to resize the window without using the keyboard. i’d like to be able to specify the width of an invisible resize handle extending beyond the border (i.e. 2 pixels around the physical border of the window)

8. i don’t like the tooltips at all. that hard black border looks ugly and the yellow in the color schemes comes straight from the 90ies :)

all in all i really like it, but a bit more customizability in those areas would make it truly gorgeous.

the things i especially like is the drawing of the tree view (black circles for expandable tree items) and the subtle border around selected and hovered list/tree items, as well as the insert-caret when hovering a textbox - Feb 24 2013

Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements by jimmy88 1778 comments

the problem is that the sprite sheet for the last symbol isn’t cut. easy to fix.

another thing that doesn’t work is the inspector’s tree view: everything there is unstyled, making it ugly (no syntax highlighting), but more importantly unusable due to missing expand/contract icons. - Feb 21 2013

hi, two things:

2-3 pixels of not-movingness around the clicking spot would be ideal, alternatively a small waiting time before it starts.

self cite, since you seem to have missed it:

you just fixed the special case. all other arrow panels are still like this.

why don’t you just change the selector of the following snippet?

Quote:menupopup,popup,panel {

background-color: rgb(250,245,236) !important;

background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(20% 60% 90deg,rgb(225,220,212),rgba(252,247,237,0.85)) !important;

-moz-border-top-colors:rgb(215,210,202) rgb(255,255,255) !important;

-moz-border-left-colors:rgb(196,192,184) rgb(254,249,240) !important;

-moz-border-right-colors:rgb(196,192,184) rgb(253,248,238) !important;

-moz-border-bottom-colors:rgb(156,153,147) transparent !important;

}

because the selector “menupopup,popup,panel” selects arrowpanels, too. “menupopup,popup,panel:not([type="arrow"])” doesn’t.

if i made a mistake and “:not()” doesn’t work with attribute selectors, you can just add “border:none!important; background: transparent none!important” to the selector “panel[type="arrow"]”. - Jul 12 2011

QtGain

Audio Apps by Vegeta 87 comments

Ok, at first it isn’t a mockup, but a fully functional replacement of the current ui files (you can compile the program with them)

i’ll respond to your issues individually:

1. the gnome HIG tell us that separators aren’t to be used if not really necessary: http://developer.gnome.org/hig-book/stable/controls-frames.html
furthermore i think that space isn’t an issue at all. the window is still small enough to fit on any netbook/tablet screen.

2. if you think it looks better this way, you can set the “flat” property on the groupboxes. if the lines are not shown, you are right; vertical alignment is probably better.
also, you could move the status to a statusbar, although the designer is limited in a way that doesn’t let you do it. i did it manually: http://paste.kde.org/89149 - Jun 28 2011

Audio Apps by Vegeta 87 comments

Here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?ospy9k6y62qa603

If you don’t like it: It’s just a quick hack. We can build upon it.

But using layouts and standard widgets like groupboxes is always better than imitating them (e.g. using manual placement instead of layouts and a bold label as header for a setting group instead of a groupbox)

it’s better because it looks native on every platform (e.g. group headers are aligned and formatted like the ui guidelines of the platform want them) and is semantically meaningful (e.g. blinds get to know which settings are grouped under a common label) - Jun 25 2011

go another bug plus fixing directions for you. arrow panels.

1.:
you’ll have to replace these:
* [url]chrome://global/skin/icons/panelarrow-vertical.svg[/url]
* [url]chrome://global/skin/icons/panelarrow-horizontal.svg[/url]

the vanilla ones are there: [url]resource:///chrome/toolkit/skin/classic/global/arrow/[/url]

2.:
for the styling, you won’t have to do much more than to take take this vanilla stylesheet:
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/a5f732abf109/toolkit/themes/gnomestripe/global/popup.css

and change the styling of “.panel-arrowcontent” to the styling you use for “menupopup, popup, panel”

and remove border and background for “panel[type="arrow"]”

they are both useful. DarkDefault, because you can spot text/background mismatches very fast (window text color on content background color is white/white, and vice versa)

and checkcolorroles, because it shows you EVERY mismatch :)

hi, i use a high contrasted theme, using light on dark for windows and dark on light for content areas (e.g. the address bar)

since 3.1 the border color of the current tab is way to bright, as well as the upper color of the gradient.

app tabs are still under the line below the tab-bar, and the new tab-button is now like that as well.

aside: why don’t you use colors such as Window/WindowsText, -moz-Field/-moz-FieldText, or ButtonFace/ButtonText/ButtonHighlight instead of putting the rgb values everywhere? - Apr 21 2011

whole button when the arrow-part is hovered:

would you please add a third option to the setting “Remove the arrows of tool-bar containers”?

there are AFAIK 3 types of toolbaritems/button with dropdown-arrows:

only-menu buttons:
toolbarbutton[type="menu"]
menu buttons:
toolbarbutton[type="menu-button"]
bookmark folders:
toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[container]

while bookmark folders don’t need the arrow to show that they yield dropdown-menus (they have folder icons), the arrows can be useful on only-menu buttons, and are absolutely necessary on menu buttons (because they are divided into two areas, which you can hit with your mouse and do different things)

So it would be cool to have three options:
