Ctrlr look and feel

[atom]

I’m thinking about making the Ctrlr look and feel more open to configuration, i’m talking about those parts of the program that are not components/panels. I knew i had to do this at some point but there were more important things to do, i have some time to do it now and i was wondering about your feedback on this.

– the icons i use are from fatcow hosting, but i was thinking about changing those to some SVG based icons so i can rescale icons on the fly and so that the size of the Ctrlr binary decreases (packed SVG icons will take a lot less space then the PNG icons i use right now), i was looking around and any of the GNOME sets look nice (http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xsortmo … ntmode=121) they usually have a dark and bright theme and are free (that’s important). The icon set would be interchangeable at runtime so that you can provide your own icons for the panel toolbar and other components to fit your panel look and feel.

– the colors and sizes of the elements, this would be left for configuration in some form of a "skin"

Any suggestions on this would be helpful, also if anyone is interested in any actual design (icons, color palette) let me know any help is welcome since i have no design skills and lack any art instincts. I wanted to jump on the whole iXXXX wagon with the nice glossy/plastic icons and looks for an app to be maybe a bit more user friendly, i don’t know really.

I would love to help out with this. Is there an irc channel/server you’re frequently on?
