Still Andrea Cimitan, still good news for you 🙂
This is a small blog post to list few of the changes we did to light-themes:
- Menuitem speedup, hurray!!! 😀
- Subtle shadow on inactive notebook’s tabs
- White text color on GtkProgressBar
- Increased visibility of the resize gripper
- Fixed contrast applied to elements in GtkStatusbar
- More compatibility with custom color specified in Appearance Preferences
- Increased contrast between text and background
- Tweaks to the odd row color inside GtkTreeView
I really hope to see the updated packages in maverick soon.
As always, we appreciate your feedback. It’s important keeping the good communication we are establishing with you: if you notice, some of the changes came from your precious comments 😉
See you soon guys, and enjoy your weekend!
