Martin Notes

Will Williams made a mock-up for Ubuntu Intrepid a long time ago and people generally agreed that this was one of the best out there. Apparently Mr. Williams has found himself some friends (I saw some comments from the Elementary guys) to make the theme for real.

I have the theme installed now and I must say I’m impressed. It’s not a 100% perfect, but it comes really close. Especially the background and the menus are brilliant. After some time working with the controls I switched those over to the Dark Room set, which suites the brown better then the gray that Will used.

The new Elementary theme is pretty good. I don’t like the GDM theme and the scroll bars have reversed light and dark, but the overall look is quite good.

Apparently it’s really complicated to create a dark theme that still works. There are a lot of themes available but they all have a weak spot. This one is working so far…

I’m using AWN right now, but I’m switching to Cairo Dock. Man, what a huge amount of configs!
