Description:

Wave GTK theme is inspired with google wave interface, and this is my take to bring it to GTK. Theme needs pixbuf engine, so make sure you have that installed.Theme comes with two different Metacity theme, default one on screenshot1, and rounded on screenshot2.

Please try the theme before you decide to vote, and I would appreciate constructive criticism , comments and suggestions.

Enjoy

Base icon theme are Eikon, but i changed some icons around to better suit the theme, so, practically is mix and match.
And for wallpaper is the best if you give your mail and I will mail it to you, since i don`t remember from where i downloaded.

I've been waiting for this! Very good work, indeed!

Interestingly, I've already made an Emerald theme for this.

Dude... This is really great... But i have two sugestions...
First.. I don't like too much the green colors in the checkboxes... Second.. Lokk the screenshot...

http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/32929/screenshot_001_pMiw03.png

The color of the panel need to be the same as the font of the menu

AlexR1

You can load panel-bg.png located in Wave/gtk-2.0/Panel, and you will have same color menu bar and the panel.

Nice... But i have a problem... I use the humanity icons downloaded from here... And some icons have a bad and ugly background... Wht is different the menu background for the panel? Really strange

AlexR1

You don`t have to load background to your panel, you can also change color of your panel to much background color of humanity icons. Also can you send me a picture, of your panel so i can see what is going on.

AlexR1
10 years ago

I am using Eikon icons as a base, but I am modifying it to suit the theme.

It would look a serious amount nicer if you had used the wave min/max/close buttons.

AlexR1

Tha`s what i did, difference is minimize button.If you can show me a picture of what exactly you mean i can make update or another metacity theme to add.

d0od

Wave has very thin white min/max/close, like so :-
