Alan Zeino Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) Here's my mod of Schmoove's "SmoothGnome" vs, with permission from himself for me to edit it and mod it to look like ubuntu linux, with a few tweaks here and there. EDIT (29/4): try the style here Edited April 29, 2005 by Alan Zeino Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/314083-smoothgnome/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzla Veteran Posted April 28, 2005 Veteran Share Posted April 28, 2005 Just to be more specific, here's a few things I think have changed for the worse: Tabs, the prominent inactive tab in particular, it doesn't blend into the tab pane at all The All Programs section on the start menu looks misplaced, as well as the bottom pane looking bolted on The start button having a button style border to it by default looks odd The blue taskbar button is a different shape to the regular buttons Take all that with a pinch of salt, it's just my opinion, but Smooth Gnome as done by Schmoove was pretty much a perfect theme, I can't see what could be improved, but looking at the screenshots I can see it going in the other direction.

Schmoove Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Alan Zeino said: New taskbar, more like ubuntu linux, new window edges, new start menu 585845966[/snapback] Huh? More like Ubuntu Linux? First, Ubuntu doesn't use SmoothGnome, it used a modification of Ximian Industrial (called Human) in the past. Now it uses a modification of ClearLooks. Second, my port was a 1:1 copy (as close as it gets, well apart from the windowborder, because I thought the original sucked) of the original SmoothGnome which I made using Ubuntu Linux in VMware to take screenshots that way. So how can you say that your mod is gonna make it look more like Ubuntu :s Anyways, good luck with it, hope you make something nice of it. Though I honestly think the things you did with it made it uglier then it was.... sorry.

Alan Zeino Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 Yeah thanks, but your comment wasnt exactly constructive, how about telling me what it is that you dont like, rather than opening your fat trap just to make a point. Anyway, heres todays update : http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/18414050/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/314083-smoothgnome/#findComment-585932164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suicide Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 1) i dont like this new style on close/max/min buttons over windows 2) i dont like 48px size of icons @ start menu (32px is the standart that should be used, u can make some substyle with 48px icons as the addition) 3) i dont like coloured taskbar, the way that active application looks mostly u made this beautifull linux port looking like windowns, thanks alot, but i dont need linux port looking like windows pixel-work is cool, professional, but it just dont satisfies my taste ps: its only my opinion, sorry. peace.

Thaumbody Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 New beta (0.6) at DeviantArt. This is looking quite good, though I liked version 0.5's button better. But that's my opinion, now isn't it.
