@rayraven
Actually with this engine the look of Leopard is the closest that can be obtained with any of the other engines. So I chose to work on this. Anyway, I've made buttons like that of iTunes but the border is the same Aqua buttons. It looks better now. Thanks for the suggestion

@Third Eye
Thanks pal

Some of you who are using the MacMenu hack (anyone?) will be happy to see a MacMenu supporting GTK theme this time

 

[ray|raven]

Hmm,Ok.
I suggested you a change of engine as i read somewhere that pixmap isnt very close, so aqualooks was developed.
Might be wrong.
Anyways,happy to help.
How abt an updated screenshot?

Regards,
ray

 

[infra_red_dude]

The aqualooks engine has been very buggy. Hence the choice of this engine.

Here's a screenshot of the updated icons. Again due to engine limitation the size of the outer boundary of buttons is dependent on the size of the inner button:

Good Work!.Its looking a lot better.
But wud it be possible to make them circular instead of elliptical?

ray

 

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ Nope Thats coz the buttons in Aqua are like blobs. They can be made square but not round, in which case all the buttons will become square.

 

[ray|raven]

I didnt get you, do you mean to say its not possible to make them circular?

Also,i am quite puzzled to see the buttons in nautilus very nice,
but the ones in exaile, quite bad.

And, dont feel bad about me picking on small details,
just wanna make it look as close as possible.

Regards,
ray

 

[infra_red_dude]

Nautilus? Which buttons?

Nope, its not possible to make them blobs system-wide while making them circular at some places (like Exaile). I dunno if Exaile allows scripting to change the button shapes. Mebbe then its possible.

Of corz, no hard feelings. This is the reason why Open Source rocks You haf people to help you make your product better!

 

[ray|raven]

Nautilus? Which buttons?

The Back/Forward/Home/Up etc i.e the navigation toobar.

Exaile does have allow theming to change the layout, but not gtk afaik.

This is the reason why Open Source rocks

You bet it does

The Back/Forward/Home/Up etc i.e the navigation toobar.

Oh, you got it wrong! Those are non-scalable individual pixmaps, part of the icon theme; while the buttons are flexible, part of GTK theme. I'll show you here.

See this, this is an nautilus button (non-scalable, icon theme component):

This is the GTK Button (scalable, GTK theme component):

So looking at its structure, you can imagine how they look when compressed.

Exaile does have allow theming to change the layout, but not gtk afaik.

Yeah but as you said it allows only change of layout and nothing else.

 

[ray|raven]

Oh damn,i forgot that nautilus buttons come from the icon-theme.
Anyways, thanx for taking the time to clear that up.

So, i guess we gotta live with those buttons.

ray

still no .debs made for your project ,may be you should appeal to ubuntuforum admins for a help though you have to give specific details reg the paths,readme,install etc

 

[x3060]

man , you are amazing . . it feels great to speak with you on this forum . . truly marvelous , we feel proud of you...

[The_Devil_Himself]

still no .debs made for your project ,may be you should appeal to ubuntuforum admins for a help though you have to give specific details reg the paths,readme,install etc

BTW is it so tough to make deb files?I mean isn't there some automated software or something.

I thing if this could be provided in dep and rpms then it will,be even more successful.These packages are a must for normal users.

 

[Garbage]

Btw, my name is Anirudh

SORRY, Infra_red_dude...

still no .debs made for your project

infra_red_dude, please check this Artwork for Ubuntu Studio.
We need something like this!

 

[praka123]

^^^Debianised source is needed for building .debs.as reg rpms,it is really tough .

@infra:ask the help of some experianced mods there in ubuntuforums or even admin!they will help you making .debs.BTW,there are lot of online resources for making debs.
