Thanks for that piece of information. I was able to find the offending change between Blended and my recent changes. The source of the problem was not what I expected. For some reason the problem was a couple semi-transparent lines drawn over the button background gradient(to give a stronger shadow). Changing those lines to be opaque ended the flickering. |

There is a solution to this problem, but it comes with two disadvantages. One, button order would no longer be configurable. And two, there would be no spacing between the buttons. I'll give it a try and see how it turns out, as yes flickering window title borders can get annoying pretty quickly. |

As it seems there is interest in this, I'll do a separate release of the Metacity theme with the same variations I have for Blended. |

Thank you for this suggestion. The change has been made for the next release. |

1. Knob on sliders:
In next version the slider button for the scale widgets looks much more like a normal button in terms of brightness and shading.
2.Scrollbars
The scrollbars have been tweaked slightly, in the next version, so that the border blends with the shadow edge of the trough and the scrollbar has a darker border. This helps make them look cleaner. I have tried a variety of things such as reducing the width and making the scrollbar the same with as the trough, but the results were not improvements. The changes I have made for the next release should help somewhat with what you've commented on.
3.Tabs
The Aurora tabs have always been more muted than what was done for the clearlooks style. In the next release though, the gradient has been reduced by three factors: lighter colour, shorter length, and lower opacity. In compensation to make the tabs more distinctive the border is more intense and has a faint glow. So I think the issue people had with the clearlooks tabs won't apply here, but let me know if you still see an issue after the new version is released and I will do something for the following release.
I should also mention that I plan to release the next version within the next week, so you'll see these changes soonish. |

To make that change, open up the gtkrc file for the theme you want to modify and add:
GtkScrollbar::has-secondary-forward-stepper = 1
in the style "theme-default" section, you'll see that a similar expression is already there for the bottom scrollbar stepper buttons. |

Actually for gtk-menu-popup-delay the default is 225. I've decreased that to 50 for my themes, so you should be seeing quite the opposite. Submenus should show up faster using one of my themes than using most other themes, (unless others have been making this change in their themes as well, or perhaps your distro has changed this default). |

If everything has compiled fine and you've copied the themes to your ~/.themes directory then to change your theme under GNOME you need to open Theme Preferences (under System > Preferences > Look and Feel > Theme Preferences, in Fedora 7 I believe) and click the Customize button and then from the tab labeled controls select which theme you want. |

First thanks for all of your feedback. The problem with dragging icons in Nautilus is fixed in this update (1.1).
As for the different background on the "new" button in Evolution, that's caused by the theme's use of a lighter toolbar. Without going into the details that button is placed in some widget that is has an opaque background which is covering up the toolbar so we see a mismatch in the background color. Evolution seems to use custom widgets for this toolbar and or button and I was unable to easily figure out what the culprit is. However if this issue bugs you, you can add:
widget_class "*.*Toolbar*" style "theme-toolbar"
to the .gtkrc file with the other similar statements and that issue will go away (it could, however, create others in different applications, although I couldn't find any). If you want more details contact me by email through the one listed in my profile here.

The Metacity theme is Blended, also by me. You can find it here on gnome-look.org. Either search for it or you can find it at the top of the list for "most downloads" in the Metacity section. |
