1) keep panel size/height to 22 pixels. but you will still have issues with other panel elements/icons.

best is to replace the panel image (panel-bg.png) in /GTK Leopard/gtk-2.0/Panel folder itself with your own image. just retain the size 12x22 px.

2) its the russian localisation, as you say. i have set the theme font to mostly Lucida Grande size 9. you'll just have to find an equivalent font, in terms of font height and font width...

on 'advice', am currently working on theme improvements, although on and off (i'm not a coder...). -remove close buttons on nautilus sidebar,
-same color background for entire sidebar, including 'Places'.
-etc

the left/right arrow toolbar buttons are hard-coded by nautilus, so no fix yet. - Feb 24 2010

Sorry for not being clear enough. that wallpaper is included in the package when you install ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala (fresh install, not upgrade). it is NOT included in Misty theme pack.

as i gave you the filename/leads previously, one of the first thing you could have done is search google. a very good practice is to ALWAYS search first...

Actually, the bottom panel'dock is Cairo Dock (v2), although i also use AWN once in a while, specially during graphics work. I also have Gnome-Do Docky, but only use it under KDE.

the yop panel, I use Global Menu, to move menubars of most applications to the top panel. - Sep 15 2009

LOL! so you took the bait. I intentionally called you a girl to see your reaction (your profile is private). That's my whole point about stereotyping. you never really know what is on the other side based on scant information...You might be turn out to be Obama or a serial killer, I might be a pedophile-rapist or a nun who likes theming Ubuntu hehehe...

regarding available ubuntu themes on the web, like I said, I still haven't found anything to my liking, that's why I made my own.

GTK2 Themes by eamon63 58 comments

Hey girl, I appreciate your comment, but then you are second-guessing my motivation for doing this. Anyway, it is typical of most people to stereotype others.

I don't like Ubuntu colors (brown, orange)
I don't like Tiger colors. (almost everything white or too light)
I don't like Vista/Win 7 colors (green, and glass!)
I don't like XP colors (too much contrast-blue and white)

I like Windows Classic colors, except sharp edges and 2- dimensional elements
I like Leopard colors, except the bulging buttons and scrollbars. If I have a mac, the first thing I would do is to try to skin it, but surely not to emulate Ubuntu or Windows looks!

Quote:Can you include more widgets in your theme? At moment I need the indicator-applet and user-switch-applet.

also trying to resolve this panel applet background issue...

Quote:A version without this mac-buttons (because it's not complete) and the panel-size in 22px would be nice, too.

am not sure what you mean by 'not complete;. If you are referring to the toolbar buttons (back foeward up refresh etc), just comment out the line in the theme's gtkrc file. just place # before the line include "icons/iconrc"

About panel size, IT IS supposed to be 22px as per my settings for panel icons. The problem lies somewhere in your settings - it's your applet icons which are 24px that forces the panel to expand. I am using Global Menu with panel height set to 22px... - Jun 13 2009

GTK2 Themes by eamon63 58 comments

Well mate, I have tried all the highest rated and most downloaded 'default' osx themes, and none pf them are really up to par (Lauri's maybe but he discontinued work on his theme... ). That' what motivated me to create my own.

I have no illusions as to originality, the aim being to achieve the nearest possible look of the original. You can probably imagine the challenge of circumventing the limitations of one OS in order to reproduce the look of another OS, particularly the element metrics. This is my way of exploring the capabilities of Linux/gnome/gtk/ubuntu theming, specially with pixmaps. I really don't like the 'actual' Leopard look (bulging buttons etc etc...), just the color tones and combinations, and the overall design concept/layout.

It is actually easier to create an 'original' theme, basically just selecting an engine and changing the colors (look at all the rekeases, almost one 'new' theme every minute).

Also it is obvious that you did not even download the theme, just looked at the screenshots and did your rating. There are no 'Folders' in this release. I am using Mac4Lin icon theme which I recommend others to download from source. Cheers, mate. - Jun 05 2009

GTK2 Themes by eamon63 58 comments

come on mate, you're making something out of nothing.

the comment was blunt and straight to the point, which i appreciate actually. my response was the same (I'm not much into social networking like facebook or friendster...) I also didn't intend to sound condescending, but my points are valid. There are lots of trolls out there (and/or self-appointed critics), in all kinds of forums/fora. As a blogger, surely you know what I mean.

Regarding criticisms, hey, that's the only way one can improve one's output. You do have to consider where they are coming from. I may not always say 'thank you this, your welcome that', but if I considered and/or implemented a certain suggestion, well...

Good day mate..and cheers! - May 11 2009

GTK2 Themes by eamon63 58 comments

Sorry to disappoint you mate. I never pretended to be a pro, or my output to be one. I am new to Linux and I still don't know my way around, Although I do know its limitations in terms of GUI, so you really can not have a 'perfect' emulation.

Regarding the panel, i somehow missed some lines in gtkrc or panel.rc. Fixed now, so users can just set gnome panel background to inherit system image.

Regarding tabs, also fixed the image - increased space between text and side borders, and removed tab overlapping.

Both fixes in next update (few days, still trying to refine some issues)

Popup menu? not a big issue, I may or may not change it..

How about you, you have been here since February, yet have no output yet. Or are you just one of these trolls mucking around the net, doing nothing except troll?

why not just use a solid panel background and play with the colors and opacity/transparency?

you can also edit panel-bg.png located in Panel folder, or play around with panel opacity using Compiz > General Settings (how? google it mate xD)

LOL!!! thanks mate. coming from you, it sure is a compliment.
Yes I have seen Leopard in action, Yes I know GTK limitations. For me, the thrill is trying to emulate another GUI, in this case Leopard. Not 100% emulation of course, because Leopard has also lots of ugly parts, going against principles and concepts of design etc.

I am new to Linux, so I don't really know my way around. Being an expert with Linux GUIs, maybe you can point to me, or suggest an engine that passes your standards so I may take a look at it.
