Shinybar - Windows 7 style for DockbarX
NEXT VERSION: Launching indicator, mouse-over color from icon.

6/14/10 - Bugfix: Version 1.3.1
Soooooooo looks like I left Shinybar Vertical at a much older, uglier state than the horizontal version. My apologies. Thanks to ~fdelosrios for catching it.

Also, I honestly, really actually am working on 1.4. It'll get released eventually. Maybe even within two years.


1/22/10 - Version 1.3
See the layered look around the Blue Orb? That tells you how many windows you have running. It's also the most significant update for Shinybar 1.3.

Version 1.4 should add a launching indicator, and might be the last version. Note that Shinybar is CC'd, so you can modify it to your heart's content if you leave the README intact.


10/3/09 - Version 1.2
Somewhat minor update to version 1.2. Added support for panels along the top or either side, as well as very light colored panels. The active window used to turn white, which wasn't showing up so well. See README for details.


9/6/09 - Forgot
Forgot to include the panel background in the lastest update. Thanks to !tunasammich for catching that :D


9/5/09 - Version 1.1
HOLY SMOKES.
458 views in two days?
Thank you so much everyone!

In other news, Shinybar has been updated to version 1.1

Changes include rounded corners, tweaked mouseover effect, and overall polishing. See CHANGELOG for the full list.


9/4/09 - Initial release
I've been trying to make a Windows 7-style theme for DockbarX, Windows 7 style icon-only taskbar for Linux.

It really isn't any use to you unless you use Linux, and more specifically GNOME. Might be interesting to peruse the code or pixmaps anyway. I dunno.


Installation
See the included README.txt.


Notes
You can change the color of the mouseover effect by changing the Active Color setting under DockbarX's Properties.

I had some problems with some of the new ubuntu (10.04 Lucid Lynx) themes. I found that parts of the panel refused to change away from the theme's panel colors. (see screenshot [link] )


fortunately I was able to get around this by simply commenting out the line

bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "panel_bg.png"
by changing it to
#bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "panel_bg.png"

in gtk.rc which is generally at "/usr/share/themes/THEME_NAME/gtk-2.0/gtk.rc" where THEME_NAME is the name of you theme you are using for your controls
Then simply reload the theme (the easiest way is to just switch to another theme and then switch back)

I hope this is helpful to some people.
I found this fix through this related bug [link] if anyone is curious.

Levviathor, kudos for the work. I like your theme as is but I happen to use a 42-pixel vertical bar. I tweaked your vertical settings to a ratio of 7/8 and an icon size of -10 and it fits great after that. However, I kind of miss the multiple windows indicator present in the horizontal version. I wonder if you could provide the vertical counterparts of the mask-inlay and the button-active buttons so I can update the vertical version accordingly. I'd do it myself from your samples but trust me when I tell you I'm a disgrace editing graphics.

Thanks mate!

Aaaaaaaaand done!

Let me know if it works.

Note that it's still optimized for a 62 pixel taskbar, as well as a 3/2 icon aspect ratio. It'll get blurry if you set it to anything else.

Hehe, thanks for fixing it, mate. I'm using my custom settings with your new version and it feels great. I must say your theme is the best so far. I'm looking forward to seeing your additions, whether that happens soon or in a few months. The work is outstanding as is, I won't rush you for an update (as if I could :)).

Thanks again!

Hah. Kidding.

Anyway, you're welcome. Glad you like it.

Well crap. I guess I forgot. I'll fix that.

Also, the vertical bar is supposed to be 62 pixels. Feels huge, but that's what Windows 7 looks like.
