Metacity and menubar gradients look too gummy for murrine #121

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Compare the look and feel of Clearlooks and Murrine
2. See how the metacity and menubar gradients loo

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Gradients that would fit murrine's glassy feel

Please provide any additional information below.
What's your take on this, perfectska04? :)

I think gummy is good. Neither gnome-colors icons nor shiki's buttons or, well,
anything at all in the "*-colors" project features any gloss. Introducing gloss 
to
the metacity would make the theme inconsistent with itself.

The murrine version of shiki-colors uses a gummy look and should have very 
similar
gradients to the clearlooks version, so there shouldn't be any noticeable gloss.

That is, provided you're using shiki-colors and not a different glossy murrine 
theme.

I just find Murrine "glassy" in every way. Oh well. Maybe, it's just me. hehe

Are you using the latest murrine (0.9.3) + latest shiki?

It should look like the preview picture in the homepage:

The gradients and rendering is almost the same as the clearlooks version, save 
for
the tabs, in which the highlights are a bit more apparent.

You could also try a glossy metacity from gnome-look if it's due to personal
preference. There are a many good ones, and if you can edit them to use a 
"#3C3C3C"
color - or edit Shiki's metacity section to output this color instead of 
selected
background, it should match the theme as well as the default one does.

Mine looks exactly like the one in your screenshot. 

I think, I'm fine with how this looks like. I don't know why, but I just have a 
new 
perception of Murrine. I just saw a Murano glass yesterday. I believe, it's 
what 
Murrine is based on or something like that. It made me think that if it's 
Murrine, it's 
glassy. Maybe, it's just a cognitive illusion. hehe
