Contra would you have problems with it if you would make my own port of Plastik (from scratch)?

I have some ideas of my own I want to try out. If you do have problems with it, let me know.

plastik is GPL as is my port... you can do whatever you want with it. start from scratch, tear mine apart, take, borrow... doesn't matter. send me a message on AIM...maybe we could collaborate on some aspects

I first want to finish some software I'm making, but after that I will probably start making the port.... we'll see how that evolves.

I installed KDE 3.3 today especially for that purpose :) and thinking of porting Plastik with the KDE default colors (the yellowish scheme).

Ahh well, we'll see, time will tell if it will ever become something ;)

Thanks for the clarification (Y)

I am one of the few people that have positioned their start menu on the left or right side of the screen, in my case with a width of about 300 pixels (yes i actually like it there :yes: ). Unfortunately, most themes look a little bad on this configuration, including Plastik. Since the background of the startmenu is a gradient image, it shows vertical bars when stretched, and the start button overlaps the buttons representing the opened windows. If possible i would really love to see these two bugs fixed. It's an amazing theme!

PS i would attach a screenshot but its really easy to reproduce. Just configure your startmenu on the left with a width of approx 300 pixels.

Does anyone wan't to get a list of bugs for this theme? Since contra said it was GPL, I might fix them, if I can.

I already fixed some bizare MS word bug...

Thank you for fixing bugs for this great theme.

A bizarre character in the search options of emule.

The address bar of firefox is not skinned. (generally dropdown menus are not)

And could you also make a flag version?

I don't have eMule normal, so I can't say I know where that would have comefrom, and if it was even the theme that caused that...

Nothing skins firefox dropbox's, only glpyhs and stuff. Its wierd like that.

And the other text thing...not sure...

Problems in eMule and Firefox are bugs because there is no problems with other theme.

And i'll try and look at that winrar bug. I aint perfect, and can't promise i'll fix everything though.

Show me another theme skinning firefox dropdown boxes...

The only way I can see on doing this now, is if I decided to put the graphic as a background in the glyph file.

Yeah, please continue working this. I agree with what other people have already said about the buttons being improved, besides that one thing I'd like to mention is the color of the Quicklaunch tabs. It should be darker than it is considering the color of the background.

Thanks, XanDaMan, for taking interest in fixing these bugs! :D It's about time! (If I knew how to fix them, I would have long ago. :blush:) Also, alternate Start buttons would be much appreciated.

Hey everyone, I helped contra out fixing a couple of bugs back before the first release, so I was stopping by to see how its doing. Looks like there are a number of bugs that still need fixed. I haven't worked on this theme since then, but I think in the next couple weeks i'll browse this topic for bugs and see if I can help again. If you re-post any especially annoying bugs here that I think I can fix i'll make them a priority.
