Description:

Requesting some info:

If anyone knows where to find some documentation regarding the halo/glow pixmaps used by Emerald, your help would be greatly appreciated. Depending on what can be done with these I may/may not "bling" things up a bit more ;)

*UPDATED*
Adjusted the colors a bit. I think they're prettier now :)

Latest version should say 0.15 in the theme viewer. Must've re-uploaded 3x fixing little discrepancies (like not updating the version number ;)

Info

Glass engine + some original pixmap icons. I wanted something that got away from the Vista/Aqua aesthetic.

Suggestions welcome, particularly with regards to the icon symbols and color choices.

Titlebar icons:
-Shade / Unshade
-Maximize / Restore
-Minimize
-Close
-Menu

Love the theme! Makes a perfect winter theme. Any chance you could make it into a GTK theme? Thanks for your contribution!

Nice theme for emerald. The only one I've liked with the shade button. Thanks!

It doesn't look cartoony, but I think it goes well with the Gartoon (and numerous derivative, such as Ubuntoon) icon theme. Plus, it's nice to see something that isn't a Vista or OS X knock off. To each his own, but there's just so many Vista and OS X themes, it's getting hard to find originals.

I fail to see what this theme has to do with Poland, or their people.

I'll bite.

First gen Canadian, parents are both from Poland.
Poland is well known for it's craft glass.
The theme's frames are glass-like.

Yup! In the emerald theme manager -> edit theme -> titlebar tab. There is a titlebar format string that lets you specify the positioning of buttons and other elements.

Congratulations on your work!
The buttons are very pretty. I was just wondering if you could make them a little bit larger.

You're so right, Vista/OSX-type themes *do* pollute these waters. This is a beautiful alternative, and I particularly love the custom icons you have created. Keep up the good work.
