Hi: I attach a tarball that, when installed into $prefix/share/themes, provides a theme suitable for testing GNOME theme compliance. I have nicknamed it "Blue Screen of Death" (is that trademarked, I wonder ?). Note that this theme uses the same foreground and background colors for everything, and uses plain icons of the same color (solid blue). Thus, if your desktop backdrop is set to solid blue (0x0000FF blue) also, this theme should make everything invisible, and anything that appears onscreen that is not an image is, technically, a theme-compliance bug. Note that gtk+ and Metacity do make use of a number of single-pixel lines which don't strictly comply with themes; these are technically bugs but probably of low impact. Icons which aren't themed (such as launcher icons), applications that don't obey gtk+ themes (such as xterm), and larger areas of non-blue color are theme bugs. When assessing the severity of these bugs, please bear in mind that certain users have visual problems which cause large bright screen areas to be painful, so large light-colored onscreen areas may represent significant accessibility issues for those users. I hope that this theme is useful as a test and diagnostic tool; you may wish to refresh your memory of keybindings before running it :-) Should I add this theme to gnome-themes in cvs, as a non-installed theme (installing it by default would probably be a bad idea ;-) ? best regards, Bill
