Bluecurve Window Control Colors

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Since the bluecurve theme was updated with the new window controls, they've never quite felt right to me. At first, the smaller size bothered me, but Garrett addressed these issues and after using it for a while, the size doesn't really bother me anymore.

It occurred to me the other day that part of what bothers me is the soft color scheme. They don't look clickable like all other GTK buttons do, and I think it's because they aren't the matching bluecurve "metal/chrome".

I've done a quick mockup to show the bluecurve window controls as chrome, rather than the blue-ish versions in there now: http://actsofvolition.com/images/bluecurve_experiment.png

The trouble is, it's a little more utilitarian looking - though I do think the controls look more clickable. Thoughts, comments, and criticism are all encouraged.

Also, for reference, here's a screenshot showing the bluecurve classic, current bluecurve, and my mockup controls all together: http://actsofvolition.com/images/bluecurve_windowcontrols_compare.png

Thanks,
Steven Garrity
