Hello
If Gtk allow it, give roundness in menu container item for coherant and unity style.

Although this can be implemented with GtkScrollbar::has-forward-stepper=0 and GtkScrollbar::has-backward-stepper=0 ( setting these values to 0 causes problems with Open Office ), I would like to see a transparent symbol with the functionality remaining. For example, if I click before the beginning or after the end of the scrollbar trough the scrollbar behaves like I clicked the stepper. IMO it looks like steppers are not being used on devices like mobile phones, music players ( iTouch), and tablets ( iPad ).

This is something very nice. I'd really like to see it implemented maybe as an option..

Actually, murrine provides the ability to change the focus color, that is awesome. Well, the ability to change the focus style would be even more awesome. for example it would be possible to let one set a focus style from other engines obtaining something like this: focusstyle = 0 # No focus is drawn
1 # Default murrine focus style
2 # Clearlooks focus style
3 # Aurora focus style
4 # Something

once again, to set the shadow colors as seen in the mockup attached.

I saw a commit for a cellstyle = 0 in the git logs, and while using the option doesn't cause a revert to raleigh... the option doesn't seem to do anything, at least that I could see. What is it supposed to do?

I think it would be cool to make the toolbars be able to be colored differently then the rest of the system, right now the menubars can be changed to what the user desires but the toolbars cannot be changed without some sort of pixmap.
Just an idea

just this. to set the colors of scrollbar and progressbar trough (actually, bg[ACTIVE] does nothing.)

Hi. I know that not many people use reliefstyle = 0, but I'm thinking about using it for my theme. It actually looks pretty good, in my opinion, and it looks consistent with other widgets that don't have any relief style, such as scrollbars, progress bars, treeviews, etc. The only thing is that with my border gradient, which is light on top and dark on bottom, pressed buttons look awkward, because the gradient isn't inverted like it is on the other relief styles.

Hi Cimi! I saw the following patch: Smooth separator. Can you implement the same option for GtkPaned Separators-Handle? GtkPaned. Thank you! PS: a screenshot of a mokup that i saw in gnome-look: Mockup PS: ok, il mio inglese non è il massimo

I'd like to have an option to style separately the menu accelerator from the menu item label.
I tried to make a (poor) patch, but it has its problems :
Changing color is easy, but changing size is really ugly, since we are changing text layout without the widget knowing about it, we must adjust it manually, and we have over/under allocated space for the text. - the patch - A small demo (not mockup), this also uses a patch for mnemonics, but it's even more hackish and another topic...

I would like to see some documentation on what styles for each widget are possible with the engine without having to browse through all the themes on this website and gnome-looks.org . It would be nice to know which features will be used in upcoming versions and what features will be deprecated. For example, give a small wiki page on scrollbars and list of the options with a small screenshot for each style. I don't think any other gtk engine has good styling instructions for themers. I think Murrine already has an advantage with this website, but styling docs would be super helpful.

Hello Cimi and thanks for the good work

I was hoping for an option to have smooth separators a long time ago.
I was looking into your source those days to try to understand how to make an engine myself (one day maybe).

Anyway look at the attachment to see how it looks.

It's fairly easy to draw but i don't know yet how to add an option. See the attached patch.

I hope you like it.

I don't know if it depends on murrine engine, but: setting shadow-type = GTK_SHADOW_NONE makes the outlines disappear but at the same time the menubar/toolbar styles get ignored and they become flat. Otherwise, without GTK_SHADOW_NONE but with contrast = 0.0 the outline doesn't go away and i can't make my fancy gradient on the whole window. What i am asking is the ability to make the outlines disappear without loosing the glossy style. In the exaple attached, lines should not be there and the gradient should continue without be broken (by the outlines).

hello i wanted to create a "border" only in active tab http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/6943/capturevs.png (do not blame me for the mockup) in this screenshot i made with gimp a small border in active tab (left one) if i add contrast to notebooks it takes all the tabs even the inactive could be nice to get the choice. do you think it's possible idea ? thank you for reading best regards

Hi cimi, I would like to be able to enable a progressbar, which is similar to the ubuntulooks engine. I know there are already the cells for the progress, but I can't enable the gradient_shades for the back of the progressbar. The option of trough_shades is not satisfying, because it only has two variables and the highlight_shade is also ignored. I hope you are going to implement such an option.

I've just noticed that in RGBA-enabled applications, there is no menu-drop-shadow. However shadow is shown perfectly in Firefox and Nautilus which are RGBA-disabled apps.

hilight_ratio and highlight_ratio should both be changed to highlight_shade. This affects at least Murrine-Sky, Murrina Blue, Murrina Candido, and Murrine-Light. Also lightborder_ratio should be lightborder_shade in Murrina Chrome.

Hey,

what about text shadows? It'll allow various new possibilites. It came to my mind, when I saw this information bar thingy in nautilus ( http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/2873/example2t.png ).

I did a quick mockup with html. The used CSS for the example is:

#n1 {
text-shadow: #bd8d78 1px 1px 1px;
}
#n2 {
text-shadow: #d2a896 0px 0px 4px;
}

Font rendering locks different, but I think it helps to get the intention.

Hope, you like it. :)

The posibility to decorate the background of scrollbars, not only steppers and slider.
