Corners

[Denis Krajnc]

When will they smooth corners?

I don't know why, maybe i'm too sensitive on these kind of things, but I don't like corners in Ubuntu. They should make them smoother, because now they look like they're cutted with broken scissors.

Something like this?

[Denis Krajnc]

No. I don't like them rounded... I would love to have only straight line box.

No. I don't like them rounded... I would love to have only straight line box.

Isn't a straight lined box The very definition of a corner?

[juancarlospaco]

Never i hope

[Denis Krajnc]

Yes. No need to complicate things. I am native English speaker so I apologise...
As you can see "corners" are rounded not very well they should be at least smoother. Perfect for me would be as you said corner as it is.

P.S. juancarlospaco, why?

[LarsKongo]

Limitations in GTK I suppose. A similar reason why you won't get aero in Windows until you've installed your gpu drivers perhaps.

Gnome just haven't implemented a window manager that can handle and detect anti-aliased and alpha-transparent images etc. I'm not a programmer, so I really don't understand why so much graphical power is needed to draw one transparent image on a background for example. (Transparent images can be used with the pixbuf engine though - inside other widgets.)

If you are on a LiGNUx forum, doesnt make sense ask Why XYZ?,
its just philosophy, allways the response is "Because i can"
so...

Because i can.

Rounded edges take screen space,
and the rounded edge programs still having non-rounded edges,
but with alpha rendered corners.

Is it just me or does LiGNUx sound like some sort of nose-related disease?

No, it's just a stupid name.
