 progressbar trough

Padster,

Since, your slider troughs look great, why not resize them in gimp,
to fit your progressbar
and save as progressbar trough.
I think this would be your easiest
fix. Be sure not to close the
gimp project before you check your
work in the theme, much easier to undo from gimp and try something else, then to start from scratch again. Been there, done that.

thanks :)
the progressbar is working and looks right (i used the scrollbar trough), it's just that when the progressbar passes through the transparent space on the edges of the trough, it leaves artefacts. and, yes, i try to make sure i don't lose my progress, thanks for the tips, tho :)

Yes, then you have transparency problems.

If you are still having issues,
outside of your trough, you must
remove the transparency, on the
outside of your elliptic image and just recolor to your background color.
That's why I suggested the slider
trough I did not see any issues with
it.

Use your gimp selection tool either
ellipse or free select using it
to outline the image that you want to show.

Then, select copy visible
next, undo selection and then
select all.
Grab your eraser make sure the color selector is set to your background color and erase everything.
Finally, just edit, paste into
popping your clipboard image, back
into your art and you should be
good to go.

I hope this helps

well, i thought about doing that, but it seems to be a dirty solution :/
if the application is not native, or isn't using the background colour, then it will look odd. i'm hoping there is an engine that will be able to make something close to what i want.

I am pretty sure they use the same process only you do not see the dirty part, they do that with their
engine (application)/coding.
I am guessing murrine engine
looks to match the rounded style your going for and gives you a little more flexibility to tweek the roundness and such. I have seen themes with 3-4 different engines used, it is all a big possibility

Here is an example of letting an
engine handle a style in a theme
with pixmap as default engine.

style "optionmenu"
{

xthickness = 2
ythickness = 2

GtkWidget::interior_focus = 0

engine "clearlooks"
{
animation = TRUE
style = GLOSSY
hint = "use-hints"
}
}

Each theme of course uses its own
specific controls that you will have to familiarize yourself with.

 Entry

IamJustUsIamJustUs

You have two entries
Regular entry used in toolbar
Spin entry used in combobox.

they are different sizes and you
are probably using the same images for both.

to get similar looks at least for
shadows, I adjust the border numbers. For example,

entry: border= { 1, 3, 3, 2 }
spin entry:border= { 2, 19, 4, 2}

I believe the first two numbers
stretch your image left-right
and third and fourth stretch image
up and down. Do not quote me as I am not sure of this.

And if your using round images
in a square hole no transparency
outside of round image. and background must match background it is located at. ie. toolbars
are seldom the same as bg_color,
though they can be in a simplistic
mono color theme.

Again, hope this helps I have spent more time fixing entries and still have fits with them.

changing the borders on the entries doesn't seem to do anything. and you mean i have to include a background for the entries, too?

Padster,
Yes, but If I have learned one way, there are always other ways, You or
Another may arrive with a better easier
way. Here are two pixmap ways.

this is the way I do it. See
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ColdSteel?content=117510

download and look at text entrys in
Shadows folders. I set them in slight
color gradient and used that for both
entries, kind of a middle ground. Now I will probably go back and
create two separate background entries, one for toolbar and one for spin.

But... you could also look at Glossy P
theme here
http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2/571

The text entry here has transparency on
the outside of curve.
The theme uses different base[NORMAL]
colors at entry and default
to get around restrictions.
It looks very nice, however I do not
believe this would work with a gradient
toolbar, just a flat color. It may
suit your theme and gives little
explanations which helps the learning curve.

And there is nothing wrong with using
an engine like murrine, clearlooks, etc.
to handle a style or two or set as
default and use pixmap engine to do specific styles that gives you your own
art-look.

Anyway...all the best to you.

 Contrast

The color scheme reminds me of ECSTATiCA (formerely NOX) which is a dark scheme done right in my opinion. You need to change the color of your scroll bar for better contrast and usability. See here:

If the scroll bar is going to be the same color as the window what's the point of having a scroll bar? There should be enough color difference for the eye to be able to easily find it yet not distract from the working environment. Oh and I like the width of your scroll bar.

I see what you mean. I will think about tweaking the colours or contrast on the slider. You like the thickness? ^^
The original mockup had thick scrollbars and range-sliders, so I made them that way. I think I will probably have a version with large sliders and one with small ones, since some people might find the big ones, well, unsatisfactory. Also, Nautilus-Elementary's zoom-slider needs a smaller range, so I have a version with a smaller range already.

 Help with murrine

To answer your question about the gradient_shades, the numbers indicate how dark or how much brighter it is compared to the original color. 1.0 being the original color and below that number makes it dark and vice versa.

If you don't want a glossy look to it, make sure the 2 middle numbers are almost or even the same to produce a smooth gradient.

Like this:

{1.0,0.9,0.9,0.8}

That will produce a smooth gradient.

the listheaders aren't going smooth, it's lighter at the top, and darker on the bottom.
