[shady_inc]

That is some nice eye-candy.!
Has anyone tried the beta version of Hardy Heron here.?How much different is it from Gutsy Gibbon.?

 

[vish786]

@dark star, hardy is numbered as 8.04... ur first post confused me & downloaded something else.

Yeah shashwat, I actually couldn't get whats this:

This propose of hardy theme suggests to Ubuntu 7.10 use the beautiful new Clearlooks engine with subtle changes in the color, selected menu item and in the gnome main-menu.

Hey shashwat, where are your customization threads huh? We are missing that pal!

 

[Dark Star]

^^ That means the themes are based on Ubuntu Hardy while using Ubuntu Gutsy as the main pimping Os to make it look like hardy... Ubuntu Customization Guide v2

 

[infra_red_dude]

Abe not that guide, i mean your beautiful desktops in the desktop showcase threads

If you want somthing similar (audio player) you can try songbird. It may be buggy since its still not a final release but worth a try

 

[infra_red_dude]

EDIT: Look at songbird here and screenshots. The screenshot shown above is modelled on songbird: *www.songbirdnest.com/

 

[gary4gar]

the theme is too dark

 

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ Thats the default songbird theme but it can be changed via skins (or feathers as they call it).

 

[nvidia]

^^I dont want that songbird thing... I'd like to use that transparent thing shown in the first page.. (last pic)
Is it possible in Ubuntu 7.10?

 

[abhinandh]

that is the development version of new murrine gtk2 engine.not yet released.

 

[ray|raven]

Not yet, it was just a prototype.
Besides, I read on Cimi's blog that, for the engine to work as in the screenshots, applications have to be modified.
So, guess it may take some time before we get to use it everyday.
