Found it back in the archives (MageFedoraTheme) this one gives a nice impression on what i thought at that time would look nice for notification balloons. http://img359.imageshack.us/img359/1475/kdebattlewip7ke4.png But NOW.. no. that's not really what i would like to see now in fedora.. now i would go for smaller color changes and probably less rounded (rounded but just a few pixels).. i can do it so much better now.. stay tuned for updates on this with the taskbar + the tooltips _______________________________________________ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
