congrats!my bad i am sticking to vanilla debian(Glossy) theme in Gnome.
will be trying on gutsy sometime soon.

 

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ You can install Mac4Lin on your Debian

 

[praka123]

^yes.I know but i am keeping my debian sid as it is.Gutsy will try

 

[infra_red_dude]

If its just for testing purpose then why on Gutsy? Just create a temporary login and install Mac4Lin there. That way I'll know if Mac4Lin has any incompatibilities with Debian

 

[praka123]

I am using Sid which is newer than gutsy.hardy is based on random sid snapshots taken.So,I can say if with gutsy it worked,Debian Sid or Lenny(testing) may work.while Debian Etch is quiet old reg packages for eg:Gnome is at 2.14 in Etch.and Etch is meant for rock stable performance as needed by servers and other mission-critical apps.
So for Lenny/Sid ur mac4lin will work and Debian uses ubuntu only packages too via utnubu project in alioth.debian.org

Heh!@infradude:you can try this gtk tool called Deb creator!it is supposed to easy and able to create .debs

looks absolutely same man ... gr8 simply gr8 ... but ur id3 tags are all fugged up ....

 

[infra_red_dude]

looks absolutely same man

The GTK/Emerald theme is darker and has better 3D look. The gradient is better. New tabs, progress bars, combo boxes, Thunderbird theme, New iChat Pidgin tray icons, weather icons, better offline wi-fi icons, new folder icons, many more icon updates, unified icon theme for both Gnome 2.18 and 2.20, VLC skins included. These are some of the updates/changes in version 0.4

but ur id3 tags are all fugged up ....

Lolz.. I know No time to set things right! Btw, not all are fugged up. The "Rock" you see in the playlist area is the list of Shoutcast Radio stations.

It looks very nice,

Actually, couldn't think of anything else. Suggestions are welcome

 

[ray|raven]

Could you make them look like the buttons in iTunes 7?
I cudnt find an imagehosting site that isnt blocked @ my office so attached the pic

Regards,
ray

 

[infra_red_dude]

I can make them like that but they'd still be encompassed in the "Aqua" buttons, coz thats how the pixmap engine renders buttons in GTK.

Got some free time.So I'll start work right away

 

[ray|raven]

Hmm,its the bubble around the button is what's looking kinda bad IMO.
Perhaps you could switch from pixmap to some engine?
AquaLooks is good at rendering but is quite buggy.

Regards,
ray

 

[infra_red_dude]

Thats not the bubble. Exaile has an unusual property of adjusting the size of the encompassing button relative to the icon. Thats why the dimensions of the buttons are irregular. Lets see what can be done.

Regarding the change of engine... not possible! That would mean discarding the whole theme and starting from scratch!!!

 

[ray|raven]

Oh,Hmm.
K then, good luck with getting it to work.

And regarding the engine part, i mentioned it as it would make it look more like "leopard".

ray
