Description:

- XFCE White Contrasted Windeco

- Metacity Black Windeco
- Metacity White Windeco
- Metacity Black Contrasted Windeco

Have fun with it, download, try, comment, etc...




Changelog:

01/06/09 : First encounter...

That's right, it's straight. No decorations, just a bit of style and contrast too ;)

This is very nice looking. I actually imagined a theme similar to this recently and then I found this one. It needs a little more contrast for me to be usable, but very good!

Thanks, the white theme needs a rework on the menu at least I think. I didn't updated the page, but I ported the Xfce windeco theme to Metacity, so now it's also possible to use it completly under gnome.

I use Xfce anyway.
I didn't try the theme, sorry. But it's definitely good. (I'm using one I made myself)

 Not "minimalist" so much...

Yeah, it's threadbare and doesn't have a lot of glitz all over, but it's pretty fat. Wide scrollbars, big buttons, a lot of wasted space. Take a look at something like Clearlooks-Flat-Compact or Aurora-Compact.

The idea of a minimalist GTK theme is no wasted real estate, and unfortunately I see a lot here, although I -really- like where it's headed.

Well well, here they are :

http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Aurora-compact?content=64792

http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Clearlooks-flat-compact?content=74918

I can't agree with you on the scrollbar, neither on the buttons. I don't know, just fire up twf and you'll see. That's the same. Plus, the size of the button depend of the font size. I think we don't have the same notion of what minimalism is. For me, this is this kind of thing :

Tell me, though, what's inherently minimalist about that theme. That seems "minimalist" because it's on a desktop with no panels, no icons, no conky, no screenlets, and a blank wallpaper. The GTK itself is just lacking gradients and sharp contrasts.

The reason I brought up the compact versions of those themes is because that aids in minimalism. I'm an Arch/Openbox user that likes to have things as seamless as I can with as much real estate usable as possible. What you've done here is eliminate constrast and sharp edges, which is less "minimal" and more "eye-straining".

And as for TWF, all I know is that when I use Aurora Compact, Clearlooks compact, and a few others of the same ilk, buttons are smaller. This one has large 'uns. Also the toolbar row in the file manager is way bigger.

Look, I don't really have the feeling this talk is leading anywhere...

My toolbar is definitly bigger, I guess 24x24 against 10x10 or something. You got that right, but what's the point anyway ? Minimalism notion isn't anything binary. This is not because your given examples are more minimalist (by your conviction) that this theme is not... Tell me, what do you want exactly ?
By my conviction something minimalist is something like you said without all the "glitz" around.

No I agree, and I really like the overall design here, it just has a lot of unused blank space and that's keeping me from using it full-time. I'm currently using the ASN Suite I found here (http://visionsofart.deviantart.com/art/ASN-SUITE-95339568), and I think a really compacted theme here would be pretty spot-on.

I didn't mean to come across like I was insulting ya or anything, on the contrary I never comment on themes I outright dislike, only the ones that I really like but would love to see one or two tweaks on.

Well, I'll see if I can make a more compact version of this theme, taking ASN as a basis ;) Sorry for the misunderstanding...

 more contrast

Thank, your theme is quite good. Almost every control looks really cool. But.. It's very hard for me to look at this because of low contrast. Can you try to make some experiments with it, make some changes to colors? I suppose not only my eyes tire of colors like that. =]
Thanks.

What about making an alternate version, where I would change the color of the font : Strong white for the darker, strong black for the whiter ?
