Dear Sir:
First, excuse for my English.
Your two versions of minGuE are excellent, I use both of them in my Linux,
and I like the look. Congratulations.
Second, you say if we have any suggestions, then we comunicate to you.
I have attached a screenshot , It's usseful to me to explain two initial
changes:
1.- A new part to put a thin line (invisible: your look not change) of
vertical resize to make easy any user change the size of all borders on
any
windows. Useful in many windows and when a windows bring in bad position
or size, and only the top border is accessible. I attach the code in
border.cfg under these lines.
2.- I have changed the normal color and active and appareance to make more
consistent with the others widgets: yellow and shadowed, and black and
shadowed. I also attach the code in textclases.cfg under these lines.
Thanks, for your effort and good taste.

Directory structure in minEgtk is wrong
by N/A - Dec 5th 1999 12:05:34
When the theme is untarred, it expands to "themes/minEguE/rest-of-stuff"
instead of just "minEguE/rest-of-stuff". This means that the GNOME control
center can't install the theme. (I'm using October GNOME.)

You are right,....I just tried this theme today and the directory structure
installation still doesn't work right.

Desktop Pager
by N/A - Nov 28th 1999 14:20:58
Would it be possible to have the gnome desktop pager highlight the window
that has the current focus, like the Zap5 and 5 themes do? I like being
able to glance at the pager and see which window has the focus.

How about XMMS?
by N/A - Nov 6th 1999 01:28:21
Wow. I really like your theme. I used to never like themes because there
were so many to choose from and I couldn't pick and I didn't really like
the crazy things people were doing, but when I saw this one... It rocks.
it looks good but isn't overwhelming. I had it for E first and I just got
GNOME to match, very nice. What I really need now is a xmms/winamp skin to
match it. please?

I'll think about it... If anyone wants to give it a shot, let me know and
go right ahead. I might give it a shot, though :-)

More ?
by N/A - Oct 26th 1999 10:17:27
Wow. I like. I'm using it with Sawmill/MicroGUI - it's lovely.
However:
The outline that's to mark a keyboard focus doesn't look as nice as the
little yellow square that's there for the BeOS and some of the
microgui-like themes. I suppose the bounding box is easier for newbies to
work out which has the focus though. It's just that detachable taskbars
and scrollbars use the yellow square too...
Also, the blue that buttons have, as well as the etching looks really
well - very striking. Is it too striking ? On stuff like gnomecc, it looks
really well...but on the gnome panel, the arrow buttons look odd. I wonder
should it be closer to gray/paler blue than it is now ?
The scrollbars are a pixel or two bigger than perfect, which is a good
thing. Works well on my 1600x1200 screen :)
The pane-grab looks wrong though. It's just an absence of colour. Maybe
have it a small unbounded, bevelled blue or something.
Hope this was some constructive critisism...It's my favourite theme.

Re: More ?
by N/A - Oct 26th 1999 14:10:25
The keybord focus box as opposed to the yellow square is intentional. I
like this more :-) I'd be willing to consider something else, but I
didn't like how the yellow square looked when it ended up over a bevel...
just looked out of place. The arrow buttons on the panel do look odd. I
don't think there's a way around that if I want to keep the normal buttons
as they are (where the surface of the button appears level with the
background with just a grove around the button) When that button is drawn
on the panel arrows, it looks odd. The Metal theme engine does the same
thing. The scroll bars are actually exactly the same size (10 pxls) as any
other pixmap theme) windows has 16pxl sliders by default, as does the
screenshots I based this on. What do you mean by pane-grab?
thanks for the suggestions,
Ben

Once again excellent!
by N/A - Oct 18th 1999 23:33:27
Somebody should just take a hose on you. First your awesome e theme, and
now an awesome GTK theme to go with! Great job, it's awesome to see some
actual thought go into a theme for once instead of all of the mindless
dribblous repeats that so frequent this field. Thanks for all the hard
work, and nice outcomes!
