Descriptions

1. Hovering menu. The current theme for Fedora missed an hover action on menu which may be inconvenient for visually impaired users. 1. Thin border from the frame. 1. Bottom-left rounded edge and bottom-right angular edge border. 1. Icon and title on left side of window. Note there is no black border . 1. Gradient buttons for minimize, maximize and close. 1. Angular top-left and rounded top-right border.

Goal

This concept is intended to distinguish for the current metacity theme. The shape can also be applied on applet notification like puplet. The concept also allows a better integration with both angular and rounded GTK theme like Murrine.
