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
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

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

1. the script tries to copy over “KFaenza Dark”, but i can’t find a download link anywhere? where is it? (i assume it’s the version with the silverish toolbar icons instead of the black ones)
2. in kubuntu, the kde directory in $HOME is “.kde”, not “.kde4”; the script should detect and use the real one - Oct 28 2011

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

…of course the first bug appeared right away: the faenza-new-tab-icon is too big and causes the tabbar to inflate.
solution: add a 16-px-version and add
toolbar[iconsize="small"] #new-tab-button {
list-style-image: url("chrome://browser/skin/subskins/icon_themes/Faenza/toolbar/tab_new_16.png");

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
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
I did it (by organizing everything in layouts) and i think the outcome isn’t perfect, but really an improvement.
where can I contribute? should I just upload them somewhere? - Jun 25 2011

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"]”

you can test arrow panels by installing the “f1” extension or visiting http://openrouteservice.org/ - May 12 2011

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

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:
Hide all arrows (except the ones on 2-part buttons)Hide arrows on bookmark foldersDon’t hide arrows - Mar 12 2011
