Gnome Panel background idea

[magnus0]

Linux Mint's default theme has diagonally striped background in gnome-panel, but it repeats vertically, where it isn't nice:



It happens with all themes, that use a background in gnome-panel.
The background on Banshee-s windows and the volume applet could be just white, or just one repeat of the image, not four.


I made a mockup in Gimp of how I think it should be:


See, the diagonal pattern doesn't repeat vertically.

I think it wouldn't be hard to code it not to repeat vertically.

here is one way to fix the problem with the volume applet:

1. go to

Code: Select all

/usr/share/themes/Elyssa/gtk-2.0

2. open the gtkrc file

3. put the following on the bottom of the file and save it

Code: Select all

style "volumebg"
{
    bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "0" #uses the image called 0 in the elyssa theme
}
widget_class "*Applet*Volume*" style "volumebg"

btw: which version of banshee do you use?
