Description: A port of my Playstation Emerald theme by popular request - now you can actually run this theme on a Playstation!!
This is my first metacity theme. It was fun (and a bit of a pain at times!) learning how to build metacity themes, and I'm sure that I can make a lot of improvements on this theme, so there should be a few more updates to come.
Hope you enjoy it - any feedback or comments are welcome.
DAZLast changelog:
v0.5 - initial release v0.6 - Added a border around the whole window and around the content. Made a few adjustments to some of the widths. Added a horizontal 'notch' to the titlebar.
I registered just to comment. this met.thme is awesome. i do want to suggest perhaps making the header a bit thinner and buttons "Glow" rather than reflect light when you press them. it would look better.
Thanks for all the feedback. I will be coming back to this theme soon and hopefully implement a few of the changes suggested and also some other improvements to make this theme even better.
cheers,
DAZ
Could you swap the square and triangle buttons round? The square looks more like a maximized window and if the triangle was in the right orientation it would look like a minimize arrow.
That's exactly the first thing I thought when I saw the screenshot.
Anyway I suppose you could simply rename the image files containing the art for the buttons and switch their names
My next job is to have a play at doing a port of the Googol theme. Like I said, I'm still trying to figure some of the intricacies of metacity out, but its actually quite good fun when you get going. I'll start work on Googol soon and have a few other ideas too.
Thanks for the vote!

Thanks again! I'm not sure this counts as a first attempt as all the buttons are exactly the same as the emerald theme, but learning how to do metacity themes wasn't a trivial task! Loads and loads of settings in one giant xml file!!

I really like it! Very creative and fun.
How about a thinner border? i think the actual one is a little thick. Aside of this, Its very original!

I agree, that totally would make more sense!

great work. but create a small version of your metacity engine.in my resolution (1024x768) is very big. thanks
I'll certainly have a go at making a thinner version when I've finished this one. Have you got any ideas about what sort of dimensions you'd like? DAZ
Now that is one helluva first try! Amazing port mate! Rated gud! can we xpect the port of google inspired emerald as well?
