2.2.2 probably the last update, this should
fix the message of an engine "" not installed
I can't try it myself if it works (since I don't have
gnome installed) so if anyone would be kind
to let me know if it works, it would be kind :)
This will probably be my last fix as I'm not on
gnome anymore.
2.2.1 Fixed my previous F**kup. (at least I hope so)
(it's been tested on ubunut 7.10). If anyone still
has any kind of problem please be so kind and let me
know!
To read full changelog read changelog.txt in
the SlicknesS folder.

to do! However, menubar uses pixmap engine
and therefor it's impossible to to that...
That is something I've been wanting to implement
since I made this theme :)
If I found out a way I will ofc implement it
but as it looks now , impossible.
Thanks for suggesting tho!

Most of us already recognized how excellent your themes are, but it is nice to see you get this type of "endorsement" as well.

I was working on something based on a theme I created for my Palm OS device, but I couldn't get things to look good enough in a complete GTK theme to make me happy. (Palm themes are significantly less complicated.)

if you don't like editing pixmaps or other
graphics I think you should try out making
a theme by using other engines.. like
aurora and murrine engines, you can make
things look pretty awesome and to your liking
with those two, think about it!
Thanks again!

Thanks for the offer though. I've been using your theme (along with desktop effects) to make all my Windows and Mac using friends jealous for the last few days.

The font thing I was referring to was just sort of everything: the date and time, the window title in the task bar, the menu in open windows (File, Edit, View, etc.) But it's really just a preference and not a problem, really. I'm probably going to change the font Ubuntu uses anyway, so I wouldn't worry about it. Seemed like a bigger deal last night when it was dark and I was tired.
Thanks a lot for the help.

Well, I had it all white (#ffffff) first...
but that was too much contrast for me (it's
hard to read if it's too much contrast)
so I took the contrast down a little
(I'm pretty happy with it myself now)
if you want to change it I can help you
with that :)

That said, I have the same complaint that someone mentioned before (and apparently resolved) with the Firefox URL drop box having black text on a black background. If you mouse over it you can read it, but it's still a little annoying. Some of the fonts might look a little better if they were a shade whiter as well. But minor complaints only.
Great work, thanks a lot for this. Looking forward to the new version you mentioned.

If you followed my install instructions
the drop down on firefox should be fine...
also, I just checked firefox 3 beta and they
seem to have fixed the bug there
now so that works too (at least for me).
What font isn't white enough for you?

If you have compiz loaded just move the
mouse cursor over the panel, hold down
the button "Alt" then scroll downwards on
the scrollbutton... scroll until it's transparent
enough for you ;)
Hope this helps!

in the opacity settings in ccsm, set it to
something between 80 - 90... if below 80 it's
too transparent (well that's my opinion....)
try different values :)
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
