[10:25] <darkmatter> hallo coz_
[10:25] <coz_> darkmatter, hey guy

[10:26] <coz_> darkmatter, nice :)
[10:26] <darkmatter> I lowered the saturation on the treeview rows since then. I totally forgot to check how they looked in notebooks >_>
[10:28] <coz_> darkmatter, the saturation effects the appearanc in notebooks??
[10:29] <darkmatter> coz_: yeah. because the notebookes are lighter than the bg (shaded at 1.12 i think). it makes the lists look way to colorful. I dropped it down a few notches
[10:29] <coz_> darkmatter, I didnt know that mmmm
[10:29] <darkmatter> coz_: it's still colored. the 'built in' cold greys in gtk suck :P
[10:32] <darkmatter> coz_: final shade. still colorized but a bit less saturated http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/6189/screenshotxk.png
[10:32] <coz_> mmm well I like this.. I am not usually attracted to a neutral gray but this is nice
[10:33] <darkmatter> shame though. I really liked the green, but I dun feel like redoing the notebooks just to make it work
[10:34] <coz_> darkmatter, ooo is that green?
[10:34] <darkmatter> coz_: the entire theme is green, just uber desaturated :P
[10:34] <darkmatter> even the black is green xD
[10:35] <coz_> darkmatter, oh ok...mmm I must not be able to see that subtlety
[10:35] <coz_> darkmatter, that part I saw but the lighter areas looked somewhat neutral to me so ...duh :)
[10:35] <darkmatter> coz_: saturation from 2-4 depending. so yeah. its not easily noticable. it just makes a grey thats very warm instead of cool/cold
[10:36] <coz_> darkmatter, yeah ... sorry ... I just didnt pick that up
[10:39] <darkmatter> coz_: the theme is 'half' mine. it's an extensive mod of Sonar (openSUSE's default gnome theme) with some color tweaks and heavy gtk reworking. next is gradient menubars. a refined metacity, and pixmaped scrollbars (recolorable trough. fancy sliders with a 'glow' on the edge... it's a suse thing)
[10:40] <darkmatter> coz_: because a reoccuring suse styling cue has been a slight glassy shimmer on the edge of darkness. I thought I'd expand on it as a subtle motif throughout the theme
[10:40] <coz_> nice
[10:41] <coz_> damn my battery backup is beeping rapidly ??? wtf?
[10:41] <darkmatter> coz_: you can see it on the metacity as is, but the metacity lacks definition. a darker continuation of the shine/shimmer should frame it completely (you can'yt see the edge of the windows on dark backgrounds)
