    I’m not sure the Vista-ish window border treatement is possible w/o 3rd party tools, but you’ve got something interesting here.

    beautiful theme ! I love it ! I want this theme !!!!

    Lee, I think this is possible, as it is only a stroke with 50% opacity, but if it’s not, we will find an alternative, don’t worry ! ;)

    Thanks for the “something interesting here” !

    It could be possible, but you’ll have to integrate it into the window and titlebar itself, i think. I.e. you can’t have it extend past the predefined title bar size (or you’ll end up with misplaced semaphore widgets, among other problems).

    It’s not possible. It has been tried many time over. 50%… 100%. It makes no difference. Nice mockup though

    FYI we were talking about the border around the windows, not the transparent menubar :)

    Well, I think maybe a thinner stroke is possible, look at this theme by rissol : http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/50443129/ (beautiful)

  10. Pat posted on August 3rd, 2007 at 4:40 am:

    yes it’s very possible, infact the stroke can be 1000px wide, but the key is that it’s inside [part of the bevel], not a stroke around the window. :)

    @Pat: Yes, i know. And the link i’ve posted has nothing to do with the menubar. Do try to actually *read* the article before responding ;)

    And yes, like i said above, it would have to be a part of the window and titlebar (which would offset the semaphore widgets).

    It is not possible. At lest it is not possible to do it all the way around the window.
