There seems to be rather too much padding space on the edges of tabs and toolbars, it looks 'fat'. I can see the idea behind having the default / selected-by-tab button in dialogs go bright blue, it's more visible than a faint outline, but it looks really pretty ugly to me. Greyed out text on toolbars is barely visible. I also don't like the very subtle indication of which window is focused; focused windows look like unfocused windows did in clearlooks, it's pretty jarring. I guess you might get used to it after a while. I do like the scrollbars, they're nice. honestly it looks a hell of a lot worse than clearlooks, so far, to me. Didn't clearlooks change from a really aggressive blue color for selections and scrollbars to the much subtler blue it has now after people complained? Why go back to a really aggressive blue for adwaita, then? -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
