Downloaded and will tear it apart
I'll find that grey mass or I'll fall asleep trying.
I'm about halfway through the metacity theme for it, revamping my oldmetal metacity theme I made last year and tweaking the heck out of it to make it fit nicely, although the top bar has so many images that when the window goes really small some parts gets knocked out so I will tweak it to make sure only the best parts show and the parts that needed the most (like the buttons), can't really help that part unless I want to loose some parts which I don't.
I'll try some typewritter buttons, if that don't look good I'll make some animated gear ones instead. Well it gives the illusion that they animate when you hover and press them, the gears turn, but I'll try tyupewritter buttons first and see if I can get some phoney animations involved with them.
I'll upload the metacity here only once its finished if anyone wants to test the heck out of it for me and go bug hunting.
Then I'll go nuts on the gtk
Here it is so far, still got a lot of changes to make (font color and positioning, bottom corners, take out the overlay on the bottom, change middle left and right sides, top corners below the other top corners part, I'll keep the top corner gears in there though and buttons).Hopefully it will cut down the images from 70 to about 50 or less this way EDIT almost there, here is the frame with the buttons, not a big fan of these buttons right now, they actually look more like buttons then old keyboard keys, so I'll be changing them to an old digital scorboard feel instead, that way I make them thinner and they won't stand out so much. I have them so they glow also but they still look like normal buttons
