+1, doesn't it just burn you up that once they get something just right, they abandon it for some unknown wigitized garbage that they want to force down your throat and think you will like it? Welcome to gnome-shell and kde4....

Yes, you're so damn right! However, we will not be forced to use it. ;)

The theme looks very slick! However, this being gtk2 there is too much vertical space wasted on
toolbars and such - That's not ur fault tho :D but def one of the slicker gnome scrots I've seen.

Ur scrots are constantly improving.

Thanks man! You're right, it would be nice if we can more configure toolbar buttons and hight in GNOME2. But it's not possible on a easy way. I used a hight of 14 px for buttons in toolbars and then are the normal buttons not usable. In rhythmbox I use text under icons because I like the look of these sunken buttons. I know that it waste a lot of space but it looks simly great. :)

Gnome will never be configurable.... it's in their
heads - users are idiots and will be confused by
functionality
- so there will never be a "working"
version of gnome as far as I'm concerned.

Sure toolbars look cool with text under icons... however,
in a way, u get the same info twice... first u get an
icon that says "this button does this" and then u get
a text eg: "play"..... then if ur still not sure what
the button does u even get a fkn tooltip...
...so... I said twice... nono, I meant u get it 3 times.
...and in some programs the statusbar also says what the
button does when hovering it so u actually get the
same info 4 times.....

On normal button I don't use any kind of icon... on toolbuttons
I use icon only. Why? Well in kde I simply put the actions
I use the most for a program in the toolbar for quick
access so I kinda know what the actions does without the
text, in gnome u just pretty much use whatever actions the
gnome team decided u need on the toolbar... and normal
buttons always have text so they don't need a icon. :)

sry for ranting but I don't like gnome at all...

I know that GNOME is less configurable as KDE but for the most of people it is sufficient as for me. :)

I've not mean that I use the big buttons with text and icons in this way.
This is only for my shots because the buttons are better visible! ;)

Currently for me GNOME(2) is better than KDE. If there is sometimes a bespin engine for GTK apps I would directly switch to KDE. And if it were possible to use Emerald directly (without compiz) in KDE I would it love. Smaragd works not fine. For me Emerald is the best window decorator. I know, it's not a problem of KDE.

So far, have a nice day my friend! :)

Yeah it's less configurable alright... however, that
I can actually live with... The problem is for me that
it's not functional... using gnome to get stuff done
just takes more time as there are very little functionality
in it :( and seemingly even less in gnome 3, not even
gonna bother trying it. They are obviously trying to
attract noobs and touchpad users(?!?!?!?!) with those
huge buttons and titlebars.

Yeah no argument about the buttons looking better
that way, idd u are right here.

I actually thought about starting to write "a bespin
gtk engine"... however, I have neither the time nor
the skills....

Yeah have a nice day u2!
