| ''Create a theme which presents applications framed in a neutral warm color that supports dark and light text and icons.'' * '''Stable Engine:''' This theme is designed to use established GTK engines such as Clearlooks and pixmap. * '''Human Icon Theme:''' Must support current Human icon set. * '''Visually neutral:''' A neutral base does not distract from the content being displayed and is easy to view for long periods of time. This adds value when viewing images or graphics where the theme may influence the perception of the content. * '''Two Panel Desktop:''' This is the GNOME standard, stay with it. ~-* '''Why Not Black:''' The base color of a theme removes that color from the pallet of every object which supports the theme. For example black text does not display on a black background (i.e. no longer a choice) and an icon which is mostly black or some other dark color does not display well on a black background (i.e. no longer a choice). IMO most of today's icons were designed to display on a light background and would require a significant amount of re-work.-~ === Comments on This Release === Please keep in mind this is an alpha release. The primary engine used is `clearlooks` with some elements embellished with graphics using the pixmap engine. Nearly every style has been expanded with all of its background, foreground, base, and text properties exposed. The default attribute for any specific property is `@error` which is defined as the color cyan (light blue - `#00ffff`). If you see this color, that is an error. ;) The metacity theme is new and uses round buttons which prelight to Ubuntu colors. * Yellow = Shelf Window to tray * Orange = Minimum/Maximum Window * Red = Close Window The box to the left of the window title displays window options and the circle in the lower right (when displayed) is the re-size grip. === Schedule === 11/20/2008 - Alpha 1 (./) * Review of current themes to determine design goals. * Dark color scheme which agrees with Ubuntu yellow, red, and orange colors * Default applications display as designed * Quick execution * Reliable operation 12/18/2008 - Alpha 2 (./) * Theme is developed to point where it can be tested and reviewed * Preliminary artwork in place * Issues with specific programs identified (e.g. Evo, gFTP, Firefox) 01/15/2009 - Alpha 3 * Most blue errors resolved 02/05/2009 - Alpha 4 * All blue errors resolved * Most remaining errors resolved 02/26/2009 - Alpha 5 * Artwork frozen * All remaining errors resolved * Add performance tweaks 03/12/2009 - Alpha 6 * Testing 03/26/2009 - Beta * Done <<BR>> === Known Errors === * Blue errors * Change 3D ''insensitive'' menu items * Evolution headers use dark font * gFTP menu needs work * Firefox needs work * Make adjustments to color and tint <<BR>> |

Impression
Impression-ism was a 19th-century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists exhibiting their art publicly in the 1860s. The name of the movement is derived from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satiric review published in Le Charivari. Characteristics of Impressionist painting include visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, the inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles.
Concept
Enhance the user computing experience by applying balance and harmony to the Gnome Desktop framing applications in such a manner as to permit the eye to focus without distraction on the content displayed. The desire is an optimal result from an optimal process.

The single most significant change between Alpha5 and Alpha6 is additional refinements to Metacity and added support for the Murrine engine.
- Murrine RGBA support turned for on for selected transparency of windows
- Support for color customization added through the Gnome Appearance Preferences dialog
Metacity theme linked to Gtk to create a blended uniform presentation
Metacity maximized windows display with square corners
GtkToolbar widgets rendered by murrine
GtkScrollbar widgets rendered by murrine
GtkScale widgets rendered by murrine
- The base theme color adjusted to neutral "#cdc7be" to provide better contrast.
Issues
svn132 + - GtkProgressbar trough is not theme-able

The above screen shot illustrates how easy it is to change to the basic appearance of the "Impression" theme. It is important to note this theme depends upon gradients and gradients depend upon two different colors which are capable of producing the desired shadow effect. Choosing base colors which are very dark or light will probably not work well.
Volume Control |
|
|
Comment |
The volume control is a good example of the GtkScale widget. Also note the appearance of the Notebook tabs. Firefox tabs inherit from GtkNotebook as desired and display as shown above.
Firefox Totem |

Comment |
Firefox does a good job implementing Impression as evidenced by the above.
Theme Installation |
