The Nodoka Theme

News: creating new notification theme: Artwork/NodokaTheme/NotificationTheme

Goals

Create a complete set of fedora theme (excluding wallpaper, which is release dependent) that would look consistent throughout whole desktop and would include echo icon set
Create a theme that is nice, not attracting too much attention to itself, rather calms than enrages, and that is focused on usability as well
Use classical fedora blue as an basic color, build the theme around it, but not "overblueize" it
Make use of soft gradients, not make too hard color transitions

Download

NEW UPSTREAM: I moved upstream to hosted and you can download the tarballs from there.

Current GTK+ engine version: 0.6

Current Metacity theme version: 0.3.2

Current metatheme version: 0.3.2

(change between 0.3.1.1 and 0.3.1): I merged the gtk theme with the engine, metacity and metatheme are in separate package. I strongly recommend to completely reinstall the packages if you use any previous versions.

I noticed that the button part of the disabled GtkCombo in the Widget Factory is displayed as enabled for all themes -- probably not something to worry too much about. -DanielGeiger

Probably nothing to worry about. I think it's a GTK bug (or feature? *confused*) as the button is also clickable... -MartinSourada

Is anybody working on making tooltips yellow again as in Fedora 7 and older? In Fedora 8 development, gray tooltips on gray windows are less visible. -MichaelSchwendt

AFAIK tooltips coloring is defined in gtkrc file, in Nodoka we have them yellow like in Fedora 7. Did you tried Nodoka on Fedora 8? -MartinSourada
- My fault. Just tried it in Test 1 live CD and some of the tooltips are indeed grey. It's caused due to new widget type which needs to be handled in the gtkrc file. In Fedora 7 gtk-tooltips widget take care of all tooltips, however in Fedora 8 gtk-tooltip is needed as well. I'll fix this in the 0.6 version at the latest. -MartinSourada
