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

Haha :laugh:

By the way, there's already an Ubuntu visual style out here.

I agree.

[Dazzla Veteran]

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.

You've got very good eyes Dazzla. I did not see any differences at all...

[Alan Zeino]

Yep, I havnt skinned the taskbar yet, havnt really worked on the start menu, just the window at the moment. Anything else you want changed?

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]

Yeah, this is all I did in an hour, heres the new taskbar im trying out:

[Alan Zeino]

Or this taskbar:

[Alan Zeino]

And yeah, about the ubuntu thing, since ive found that theres already an ubuntu theme, I want to make it look different, I dont want it to be a copy of everything else thats out there.

soory but beta 4 looks worse then beta 1

[Alan Zeino]

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/

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.

[athlonforce]

looks good ;)

[Thaumbody]

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.

[Alan Zeino]

heres version 0.7 but its not up on devart yet, theyre down for maintenance.

that's what i was thinking :unsure:

anyway, you forgot to (or you just didnt) include appropriate permissions and information on the original visual style (by schmoove) in your readme or your submission descriptions
