color of panels

Hi Marcin,

You can post a question in your own language. No need to write them in English.

As for the question itself, I recommend installing gnome-art (sudo apt-get install gnome-art). It will allow you to change/customize the looks of your Ubuntu installation with an easy and intuitive menu.

After you install it, just navigate to System - Preferences and choose Art Manager.

Take care!

I just realized that you're not using the default Ubuntu theme, and that this question was posted under the New Wave project. So if my answer doesn't help you, I'd like to say that I'm sorry in advance.

Thanks!

You should try this theme first:
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/New+Marmol?content=98771

I think it had blue version and it is derived from New Wave.

@Tiago Faria Art Manager is easy to install new theme and other stuff but i don't see any customize options :( only preset themes

@Dilomo this theme is not for me :)

please see what i want to do with standard NewWave theme 0.7.3

1. normal view without any modifications http://img23.imageshack.us/my.php?image=zrzutekranu2k.png black panels looks awfull
2. my point of view for this theme :) http://img24.imageshack.us/my.php?image=zrzutekranu1x.png

3. now i'm using NewWave borders and clearlooks classic gtkengine but it is not perfect solution http://img24.imageshack.us/my.php?image=zrzutekranud.png

with orange color i can live but black panels is not acceptable :)

regards

In order to change the panel's look you should change the color behind the transparent image. You should open the gtkrc file located in the theme folder and replace the style "panel" with the following:

style "panel" = "newwave-default"
{
 fg[NORMAL] = shade(0.97, @fg_color) #mix(0.70, lighter(@selected_bg_color), @bg_color)
 fg[PRELIGHT] = @text_color # lighter(mix(0.90, lighter(@selected_bg_color), @bg_color))
 #@autho:gp@ Improve consistency between metacity-frame and application active in taskbar.
 fg[ACTIVE] = @base_color # @text_color # lighter(mix(0.50, lighter(@selected_bg_color), @bg_color))

   # @author:dilomo@
   #dark color from v0.1 : "#4C4D4E"
   #dark color from v0.1.1 : "#424242"
 bg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff" #"#3a3a3a" #This is dark gray
 # @author:gp@ Same color as item selected of taskbar menu.
 bg[PRELIGHT] = shade ( 1.60, @bg_color) #shade(3.0, "#424242")
 #@autho:gp@ Improve consistency between metacity-frame and application active in taskbar.
 bg[ACTIVE] = shade(1.02, "#696969") #bg[ACTIVE] = shade(2.5, "#424242")
 #@autho:gp@ Improve consistency between active-menu-item and menu-background.
 bg[SELECTED] = shade ( 1.60, @bg_color) #bg[SELECTED] = shade(3.2, "#424242")

 bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "Images/Panel/PanelBarLong.png"

}

Note the colors I have changed: bg[NORMAL] and fg[NORMAL]

@Dilmo yeah, now it looks perfect, thank you very much. That was very easy but only with your help :)

please tell me how to change orange color ?

i'm converted all orange pics to greyscale and now this theme is perfect :)

The orange color is not easy to change. You have to get the branch from here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-new-wave/anton/devel

and the edit all the files in the sources folder then export them in the theme folder.

P.S. I'm interested in the gray version of the theme so can you send it to me at ankere[at]gmail[dot]com
