[vs] Ximian Desktop 2

[preantek]

Thankyou for a wonderful theme,your work is really appreciated.

Now let me chime in on kairon comments.

Kairon: even though this theme is based on Ximian and thus ximian pics and design are under the GPL license,i dont see how you can say that you should be allowed to remake and post a varient of Schmoove excellent port.As this theme is now a theme atop luna rendering engine and as such, part of windows,which has nothing to do with the GPL license,then i would think the whole GPL license thing goes out the door.Now apart from the whole legal issue of who owns what (linux future problems gonna be hugh over this issue) i would think that you would at least honour schmooves wishes to leave his theme alone and make your own varient of Ximian.Think of how you would feel if you made this theme,and then had someone come along and rip you off.This theme must of taken schmooves hours and hours of hard work to make,so show some respect and just be glad we have this great theme for use in windows!!!

[spacey]

Here it is. :whistle:

thank you! this one seems better than the one in the first post. it doesn't have those magenta bugs in the playlist.

[Dazzla Veteran]

I can see everyones point of view and understand both, but it'd be nice if you made that little chat private.

As for the theme, which this thread is about, I have to say it's pretty damn perfect and bug free, that's why I love using your themes, so flawless. Thanks for that schmoove. I have to say though, don't think much of the cursors, you could bundle these if you fancy :whistle: :rofl:

Yeah, I fixed it and forgot to say it in the post.

Does not matter, the images and the whole spiel are under the GPL. He's using images off that GPL theme right?This is a port of a GPL theme right?It isn't out the door.Clearly no one here understands the GPL one bit.

[Schmoove]

Ok please now stop that crap about the GPL, I see what you mean.

It isn't gonna change a thing.... so safe your breath.

Ooo, one thing I have noticed, the vertical resize area is about 1px small which makes vertical resizing pretty hard, it's a simple fix though.

How??

I know that it is caused by the use of the magic pink, but how can I fix that??

EDIT: let me guess: General -> Window -> CaptionSizingTemplate ??

[chavo]

Schmoove, nice work. This is the first visual style that I've downloaded that I didn't have to change at all.

[Dazzla Veteran]

It's the caption sizing template:

Modded

[Schmoove]

Yep thanks, it worked :)

Will be fixed in the next release.

[deep_sky]

it is a nice visual style, although im not fond of the rounded corners, as they look kinda pixelated on my lcd for some reason (maybe because its an lcd).

as to respect, this board has no ****ing clue about what respect really means. all this board and its moderators care about is the endless bickering and whining about permissions. the entire bs about watercolor, luna, and other styles in which the authors have no permission from the authors of the concept, yet jealously guard the right to modify their themes as if they actually have a right to, taints this entire board. a lot of people need start getting over themselves.

[Dazzla Veteran]

I may have missed it in all the bickering but did anyone port the Industrial icon set? How complete is the original linux set? Enough for a system makeover?

[shanemca]

Excellent VS :) Enough to make me finally switch from the default blue one and not change back within a few hours :p The only thing I've noticed is it seems that the taskbar buttons don't change color when that window wants focus (ie, taskbar buttons in the blue XP theme change orange when they want focus, like Trillian message windows with a new message in it). Is that just my system or is it the VS?

[xcession]

Excellent work Schmoove...! :D Very nice VS

[[X]]

Schmoove, can you please include shellstyle in the next release?

[Danrarbc]

No, it's not really big enough.

Edit: I just looked through the folder, it might be enough. I threw them in a zip.

I can convert them too if they're complete enough and someone else can't but not tonight, I need to sleep.

I can't d/l atm :( looks great! I wish I could get it NOW but alas deviantart seems to be hating right now :(.

[slapnuts_ox]

Nice job on the theme. Im currently running gnome 2.3 on my linux box however I have always liked the Ximian themes. Im also a GPL fan but this is just a theme and shouldn't be made into a big issue. He made the theme, it looks nice, someone else wants to rework it then more power to them.....i just hope they give credit to where credit is due for the original parties making a good theme.

There's not really enough there, and they're in dodgy sizes, that sucks :( I've made what I can out of them, added a load of mimetypes, custom folders and stuff:

No that is not your system. It is supposed to be that way. If you look closer you'll see that it has a black border.

I agree thought that it is hard to see, that is why I already changed it in my version I got here. It is blue now.

Expect that in the new release, plus (hopefully) a shellstyle. I don't like making them.... but I don't have much choice I guess.

really cool :woot:

[Dazzla Veteran]

Does anyone know of a decent place to find ximian style wallpapers, including stuff with that kickass monkey on it :D

[Schmoove]

I have them all ripped out of Ximian.

Gimmie 15 min and I will have a RAR with them all online.

Time for some colormod :whistle: , make the overall color darker, coz for real, that near-white color somehow makes my eyes feel tired after using the theme for some time (Im on a CRT, will get LCD soon when I got a job :p)
