But it is too far from the finish. I think a package maker should cover all stages of creating the package. Hopefully this tool will reach its maturity, when it will be sufficient itself to do all the work.
Thanks for the great idea and looking forward to see further development. - Apr 24 2009

While testing I noticed that I cannot download Neutrino 5.1 and 5.2 as my browser (Firefox) always opened them as plain text on the screen. The simplest solution is just to save the page as a file:
menu File -> Save Page As... -> the name of the file (must be pre-entered) -> Save - Feb 19 2009

One instance has Face Text as follows
Austin%n%n%n%n%A, %b %e%n%T %Z
Actual reading is
Austin... Sunday, Dec 28 08:19:12 NZDT
which is my local time and would be perfectly correct, if it were not set to America/Chicago. - Dec 27 2008

Time Zone -- Pacific/Auckland
Time-Offset -- 0.0
When I launched the second instance it displayed what I guess was GMT. If I changed Time-offset to +3 it displayed the correct time for Moscow, so did it if I set Time-offset=0 and Time Zone - Europe/Moscow (I had to type it as there was no list).
Looks like the Clock screenlet works fine. - Dec 27 2008

In the source code both left and right borders are assigned to the same variable self.b_left (line 121). Anyway I like very much both the original idea and the enhancements.
In the Mirror theme I would suggest to use a panel instead of a frame, in that case there is no holes between picture and the frame. - Dec 10 2008

How could I fix this? - Nov 16 2008

1. I failed to install it until I installed libglade2-dev package. Maybe it worth to mention all dependencies.
2. Would be nice to have some lines in Combobox and ComboboxEntry to see how they look after dropped down.
Anyway this is a great improvement of the original TheWidgetFactory, thanks. - Jun 27 2008

A couple of things I would suggest:
1.the buttons and edit boxes look trapezium-shaped, I think one-pixel-wide solid border would fix this.
2. check buttons don't have the distinguish feature, when checked in (one might think they were disabled).
3. (sorry, three things) some elements are just 90-degree rotated versions of others, so lighting direction should be adjusted for them.
Anyway this theme is the best of what i have seen recently. - May 06 2008

1. I did not know about this Synaptic feature. Nevertheless I still think, that stuff in the Administration menu is not for everyday use.
2. and 3. are more about personal preferences.
4. I did not find info about iirc, I thought Synaptic is the default manager (?)
My program has already had the same search as dpkg -S does. But seems dpkg performs much faster; it worth trying to improve its performance. Your suggestions also helped me to find one wrong calculation, which must be fixed, thanks.
I will think about your other ideas, so far I implemented what I found useful myself, so any suggestions are welcome. - Feb 27 2008

The size of the package is what I cannot change easily, unfortunately. I will think, how it can be reduced.
dpkg -S is a command line command. In order to use GUI program you should only know, that is exists somewhere in the menu. For CLI command you should also remember its syntax. If one does not speak English, this is a hard task to learn meaningless sets of strange symbols.
Aptitude is not a graphical program.
In general, people make programs and other stuff to add diversity to our world. Could you explain, why there are so many software audio players, and among them so many WinAmp clones, and each has so many skins? - Feb 27 2008

There is nothing common between Metacity and Emerald themes, and Metacity is much harder to make, but it is a good idea to use matching theme when one has to switch Compiz-Fusion off. - Sep 04 2007

Cairo Clock by miss-dragon 1 comment
Another cool think (not related to the clock theme) is that I was thrown away and asked to login again, right after I had finished typing the comment. Surely the whole comment was lost. - Aug 16 2007
