Glass, with a subtle hint of blue and teal: (r1797)
I've noticed that there are no menu options to Quite AWN when using the Subtle Glass 0.1 theme. It's usually not an issue, but I noticed that if I wanted to close AWN to update the bash.history used by the AWN Terminal applet (I regularly edit the file to get rid of repeated commands run) I had to switch to another theme to be able to close the dock. I'm not sure why the menu option isn't available with this theme but the theme presents the standard desktop context menu when right-clicked on the far edge of the dock rather than the menu with Dock Preferences, Quit and About AWN.

The missing menu items at the edge is a bit odd. A temporary fix is to use the Prefences Applet which has a Quit option in its context menu

I'll keep that in mind, although I just switched to a different theme. I was posting mostly to let the dev know the glitch was present.

It actually appears to be a problem with 3d and low opacity.

If you want a mac theme, buy a mac :S

Onox, no trolling.

BostonPeng said:
Why would I want to buy one of those? It's incredibly closed source, not to mention damned expensive. I consider it a compliment to the Mac visual designers that people want to replicate their look. Besides, some people have left OSX for GNU/Linux for any number of reasons, just like many have done the same to Windows. Are they wrong for wanting to keep the look they've grown so accustomed to?

Don't feed the troll :-)

I also created an Theme, so time to share it. It's a theme based upon Dust theme.

What's is your icon theme ? It really looks great :)

Slightly modified and renamed my White theme from above (to make the name more descriptive):

I'm trying to figure out how to get the circular effect around your main menu applet. I like the style--how do I do that?

BostonPeng said:
That's the Edgy style. When you have the dock positioned to the far left it takes on that "bubble".

Terrific, thanks! Now if only I can get the battery applet to work again...

I was checking out the monthly desktop screenshot thread over on the Ubuntu Forums and came across a really nice OSX shot. The interesting thing is the dock that uses no icons, just text and a colored block. I suspect it can be replicated with Conky but is it possible on AWN's trunk?

I think if you look around Gnome Look you will find an icon theme that uses text only. Looks to me like that's what is being used.

Will do. Thanks for the lead.

Always a good idea to have two browsers installed :-)
I have two browsers installed (actually 4) but I didn't think to open another browser for the task. I try to limit my regular 'net work to my primary browser, just to keep from having to remember what browser has login info for which sites. I'll try to open these boards in another browser and see if I can find out what's not rendering so I can file a bug on it.

Now if I could only preview my posts here so I could double check my tag usage before I hit Submit. ;)

Yeah, the forum software has some issues. It's continued use is a bit of a legacy, it's what we started using and it would be PITA to switch.

I know what you mean. I ended up closing my blog and forums a couple of years ago because it was just too big of a PITA for how much traffic I was getting.
