Orange wallpaper - what do you think?

[Baby Boy]

It's OK, but I like the default Gutsy one better.

The wallpaper is really nice, just the right tone of orange.

I don't like the theme that much, the borders are way too think and the window decorations look a bit stained by the black. Other than those points, this could be a really nice hardy theme

I like it.
It's a lot more lively than the plain old brown.
makes a nice default theme background for a proffesional environment like a school or library. or other public system.
Fun and functional.

Thanks for the feedback everyone

I chose to have thicker borders because I always find it really hard to resize windows with most themes (borders are too skinny). At the moment they are 5px, but I'll see what its like at 3 or 4 pixels wide.

Do you mean the panels make the border look stained, or the outlines of the buttons? I've changed the buttons already (well, Im kind of half way through) - I'm experimenting with a white line on the outside, and also a slightly browner colour.

I've also done a bit of work on the wallpaper.

Progress is slow - I'm too busy!! I'll post the updates soon.

i like the wallpaper lots, much better than the skidmark that is gutsy default, the metacity theme is too bright a tone of orange imo too loud.

I've been experimenting with a wallpaper after reading a thread on the new look for Ubuntu that will be implemented in Hardy Heron (Link to thread).

I also plan on making my first theme to go with this wallpaper, and will probably upload it as a complete package on gnome-look.org

So, basically, what do you think?! I've uploaded two versions, a 1280x1024, and a 1440x900 for widescreens.



and the 1440:

That's awesome!

Exactly what I've been waiting for. I'll be looking forward to the completed theme. The wallpaper is on my desktop already. Keep up the great work!

You should make it a little lighter though.

Ok, the weekends given me a bit of time to work on this. I went with the suggestions of darkening the title bar slightly, and also decided to do a new version of the buttons - no idea why, an idea just wondered into my head, and I decided to try it out!...



And with the original buttons:


And a slight change to the wallpaper - just changed a couple of colours, and the position of a couple of lines.

Feels almost like you could squish an orange juice out of it .
