;sorry I posted twice :-(

That is sweet. I need to get some more icons for my Harley theme.

Oooooooooh... prreeeeeeettyy. Very nice. Me? I like Megaupload. I should have thought of that service myself since I actually have an account there

More themes! More themes! More screenshots, too! Whheeeeee.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. Methinks I'll make an entirely new theme when I have the time. I'll go for flat, transparent, and simplistic. That's how I like my desktop anyway.

Me? I'm a minimalist. I like photographs and graphics and I find the icons and doodads too distracting since they tend to be so cartoony and space-hogging.

That's why I'm still hoping that OS2009 will remove the need for large icons on the left side of the screen, will allow more applets to appear on the left (or, at least, let there be a simple arrow down for a 2nd tier of applets to appear onscreen) and someone will come up with a simple applet like SimpleLauncher.

It would also be great is someone could come up with a way to replace current icons with new ones with the same properties as replacement icons used on Macs or Windows machines - without having to go through the root function.

Of course, I guess this makes me sound like a lazy Linuxian so let me claim that title right now: I Am A Proud Lazy Linuxian! (t-shirts will be sold on the way out of the building).

I totally agree with you. Give me an option to edit the size of that sidebar and I'll cut it down by half the size. I'd at least like that option so I can change the icon properties easily.

Also, another gripe: more transparency settings for the interface would be nice. One of the biggest issues I had with making that theme was that the window borders could not have any transparency. That was extremely frustrating. This makes rounded-corner themes almost impossible if you want the "themeless desktop" look. I think I'll just square off the corners if I want to make a similar theme, or improve that one. Again, hate to complain about such petty things, but they bother me. Still, I'm sure such a thing is pretty small on Nokia's to-do list. I'd rather see some major software updates instead.

Ps - thanks, osofast, for uploading my theme to FTP. Here's the new link: http://www.sfu.ca/~gsa7/deb/nuvoClear.deb

Sorry... couldn't resist

Who wouldn't?!

I'll try to see later this week on how to add the background support back to theme maker. (just saying this aloud so that I cannot just push it to the future)

Initial support is now done. So, once I release theme maker later today, you can include the background image in the theme and it will then be available in the set background image dialog window main drop down where the suggested theme backgrounds are anyway. So, just to let you guys know that there is progress. I'll publish the next theme maker very soon.
