This is a great desktop, very apple'esque. The only things that I would change are to make the pill you have there on the right like on the konsole smaller and make the color of the out of focus titlebar buttons one uniform color. It looks like you just took the colored in-focus titlebar buttons and desaturated them. Other than that it's virtually perfect. I quite like the unified titlebar toolbars you have going on there which takes what is going on in OS X and takes it to the next step. I kind of like the way your file manager looks better than my finder in mt. lion with totalfinder tabbed add-on. I like the composition of the windows and how close to apple they are especially with the drawers on that file manager.. the only thing they need is a bit more padding to push those collapse\expand arrows away from the border. But I have to admit most of my criticism could be considered nit picky things and otherwise this looks really good.
Yup, just calculate r+g+b/3 for each pixel to get a desaturated effect for the inactive buttons. I actually just stole the pixmaps from a mac scrot somewhere
The 'remove titlebar and add control buttons to toolbar' approach is quite nice I can say after using it a while. At the time of this scrot I had just (very quickly) implemented it cause I just wanted to know what it 'feels' like.
Tho it's mostly an ugly hack and I'm prolly not gonna use it long-term but it was fun.
Glad to hear you like my file manager, tho the gui is just a cheap clone of finder.
The drawers are implemented in the file manager, there is no such concept for linux/X11 so I had to 'hack' / write ugly code to 'force' such behaviour.
Sure, some paddings are 'off' and colors don't 'fit' and some sizes are 'off' and whatnot, it's all very quickly done

Thx for the feedback mate!
maybe a little explanation about what you used on your screen... cause as always I love it to have on my desktop too
The face of dog is worth a thousand words
'hyperactive' enough for a 'friday-face'
Thx
