Thanks a lot, looks really good on my netbook (1024x600) any plans for a GTK3 theme to match this one?

Thanks. GTk3, well sort of but GTK3 themes are a pain to do and not as flexible as GNOME Shell theme css.

What menu panel? GNOME Shell has a status menu from the user name.

Using this now. It's too bad no one's made a smooth inset GTK3 theme yet, but Derpity seems to work fine.

How do you like the space compared to the other one?

Thimoteus In reply to half-left [2011-05-22 00:25:37 +0000 UTC]

It's good. The first thing I noticed was the reduced top bar. Then the smaller icons under the applications view. That really helps; under the standard smooth inset them, I can see only 15 icons compared to 35 with the netbook version.
