Comment on CSS on window borders experimental layout language by Screwtape

With the current theme format, if you want some particular effect like top-aligned buttons, since you can’t change the height of buttons you just leave them at full-height and only draw the ‘button’ shape on the top half.

Also, now that I think of it, perhaps having 1em be the width that makes square buttons is *not* the best idea – the height of the title area will be the height of the title text plus any line-height and padding on the title-text, so setting the button-width to 1em would likely make for slightly portrait-shaped buttons.

In response to Screwtape:-

Section 3.3

I would clamp the maximum button-height to the height of the title bar. This would allow for vista-style buttons which are top-aligned but do not extend to the bottom of the title bar.

I wanted to comment on the Cowbell docs, but the results are a little too large for this little blog comment so I’ve put them online here:

http://zork.net/~st/cowbell-themes.txt

Basically, as one who has done a little theming and a little CSS, I went through the docs section by section and noted down anything I found surprising or awkward-looking.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your effort!!

I think the most important things are:

1. pseudoclasses
2. gtk colors, so themes like blended can be made with cowbell

In hope I can test cowbell as soon as I get some free time

I’m not sure whether this is the responsibility of Cowbell or some other part of mutter infrastructure, but true rounded corners on window borders would be a massive improvement and bring parity with OS X and Windows. Gnome 3 seems like the perfect time to achieve a similar level of polish to other operating systems.
