What's new in Emerge August 29, 2013

Aug 29, 2013
  • IceWM, Xfce4wm:
  • IceWM- punched titlebar buttons in, recolored active, mouseover, pressed buttons
  • XfWM- ported IceWm changes
  • If you like the start/menu icon and are using a different panel/taskbar than IceWm, for example: Xfce4panel, Lxdepanel etc. I have placed it at ~/Emerge/gtk-2.0/Panel folder.
  • If you use vertical panel/taskbar, I have included an alternate set of panel/taskbar buttons. Again in ~/Emerge/gtk-2.0/Panel folder.
  • If you like the older spin/scrollbar arrows, I have included them at ~/Emerge/gtk-2.0Arrows/old_spin folder.

New in Emerge August 23, 2013 (Aug 23, 2013)

  • gtk2:
  • Changed: spin buttons, scrollbar steppers, range sliders to harmonize with scrollbar slider
  • Removed slider scrollbar grip and recolored prelight slider for better contrast
  • Added in a color variation to the range slider troughs, entry and spin entry focus, progressbar, Started with
  • the range, divided in thirds, it just makes things easier to set if you have some reference points, the focus
  • and progressbar, just to try something new.
  • Changed the inactive tab to an innie, recolored, added a bit of highlight to bottom of tab, again for contrast
  • After some hair pulling, finally satisfied with Xfce4-panel look, I striped the panel conf. from the gtkrc
  • and included it separately adding back in only the widgets (five) needed to get there. Previously (twenty-two)
  • widgets. Also, this makes it easier to use Xfce-4 default panel conf by adding comment, # to the beginning at
  • line 10 of the gtkrc, include "panel.rc", the difference being Xfce uses your gtkrc buttons and gtkrc default
  • fg/bg.
  • Tested in Xfce4, IceWm session
