Note: I'd just as soon not have a discussion about whether a lack of smooth gradients due to less-than-16-bit color in UI elements matters to anyone. Lets just assume that it matters to some of us and not to others. Thanks.
I'd like to request a clean, classic theme that does not use gradients in any UI element (buttons, icons, menu bars, dialogue boxes, etc). So, no gloss effects, no 3d elements -- just smooth flat colors, preferably not too bright or vivid (but still colorful).
There are some themes that demonstrate that flat colors can be used to create great UI elements -- like Grungy Gant. But as much as I like Grungy Gant, its not appropriate for my work device -- my work environment is a very stodgy, "old guard," suit-and-tie one that you might describe as "highly proper." Let's just say it won't create the best impression for me to flash Grungy at a senior partner. And GG still has gradient effects in most of the non-icon UI elements (because the default Zen has them).
I'm honestly not sure what it would look like, but I do think this would be a popular theme post-148. Of course I'm willing to pay.
Or if anyone knows of a theme that already exists (free or paid) that is along these lines, please let me know!
Thanks!
