Underline looks better than original.

Hey @jaggers - as I remember the shadow is sometimes hiding elements, that’s why I dropped the design with max-window. I’m also very much for a shadow, but for now only in window mode.
Yes very true!
Consistency^^ was also on my list for the little changes

“what do you think of an orange underline for a selected item in the gnome shell top bar instead of the grey box?”
This is something I trialled in mockups because it feels “right” in terms of consistency. One problem I found is, the top right is the default wallpaper is very orange. So if you highlight the selection of the top right buttons (volume etc.) with an orange line underneath, it doesn’t look like an orange line really, it looks more like a GUI glitch where that section of the top bar is thinner than the rest.

Maybe this will not have a huge impact if the latest ideas with the dropshadow be implemented.

Concerning Rubbish bin color (luxamman in Mochkups): This color (purple) is also used for images containing software and probably more. So using red for emptying bin makes sense but the question remains for other messages. (I personally like the color very much – probably more so than the very cool blue…)
Again: Also consider backdrop states. Here the inactive button is way too bright to my taste. Probably just using no background (or a transparent one) as proposed by galgalesh in git #119 circumvents such issues.
The inactive button (like restore in trash with no item selected) doesn’t look right to me in active windows either. Maybe as a general rule colors should only be desaturated not changed in brightness which can lead to stronger contrasts (“Empty” in backdrop has much more contrast to the background (and much harsher/clearer borders) than “Run” in active window). Sorry for nitpicking, but details and consistency is probably the only areas where this theme is lacking.

I used the original ubuntu.css to make transparent bar with orange outline. The dashboard style is from communitheme.
You can look at this desing. I think its good.

Thanks @marcosaillard
These mockup s are created to inspire friends who develop the community theme
Creating a theme from scratch alone requires tiring and time. So I’m not sure.
Although not a community theme, you may be able to find these themes on the Internet in the future.
Probably the Suru icons won’t change.
also sorry English is not my main language.

It seems it is unwise to keep border-bottom thickness in all elements. What works on breadcrumbs may not work other elements. Provided we are taking suggestions from those mockups. Most of them could do with a thinner border-bottom.
Hello I’ve noticed a slight problem in the Suru icon theme.
I’ve done a small video about that small issue. Like this you could have a better overview of that problem.
the problem of brightness is linked to the “almost” transparent color of a Text files in Nautilus, when you click on them. The default colour of the background is White, but the icons Text Files as well become white and the small Grey lines disappear and then you almost don’t seem them.
This isn’t a Suru issue. There’s a fix coming: IMHO the icon shouldn’t change, only the label. And after the LTS hopefully the icon background will be colored.

There is a step here still under the activities text and
There still this gap at the top.
This is only an issue in the Ubuntu-Community-theme login. It is perfect under the ubuntu login .

Is it possible to switch to this Ubuntu logo (right picture instead of the actual one (left picture) ?
On the right image the Ubuntu logo is circled with orange with a white background which gives a more intuitive and visible logo. The users would click more easily on that type logo. We can’t get mixed up, no?

We can replace this logo icon. But in my opinion it’s not good idea, because it’s look bad. Icon from left picture looks neatly bicause this icon it’s not big, and not small.

Agreed! Besides the former fits in with the default theme better.

This isn’t really a theme issue but i was thinking that with icons being placed on the desktop on the left and having the Ubuntu dock on the left hand side it can get very busy and visually cluttered. I was wondering if moving the icons by default to the right might be more aesthetically pleasing .

As for the cursor theme, are we moving to Ubuntu Orange from the current blue icons in Github ?
For now, the cursor theme is just a suggestion and not part of the community theme until it receives the “blessing” from the other team members.
I don’t think so 
What left you with that impression? Is there something that I’ve missed…

Since most elements are using Ubuntu Orange, I thought that will be adopted to cursor theme as well
What is this icon in the top left corner of Nautilus?
I don’t have it in my version.
Sorry for the silly question, but I am trying to figure out what differences can lead to this issue
