Bug Description

Binary package hint: light-themes

Running latest Lucid Lynx updates.

i usually put a the load monitor applet in the panel. For both radiance and ambience theme there is a mistuned parameter for the panel in the respective gtkrc file. This lead to a strange artifact at the left and right side of this applet, but also to the workspace switcher apple.

I'm talking about this section in the gtkrc files

style "panel" {

    xthickness = 4
    ythickness = 0

    bg[NORMAL] = "#faf7ee"
    bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "panel_bg.png"
        engine "murrine" {
            roundness = 0
        }
}

Try using a value of 1 for both x and y thicknesses. It lead to a better view with no artifacts.

Find attached two screenshot presenting the difference.

Cheers

P.S. It should very fast to change this!

I've tested the content of the branch. I think that you should change for both Radiance and Ambiance themes this setting:

style "panel" {

 xthickness = value
 ythickness = value

 bg[NORMAL] = "#faf7ee"
 bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "panel_bg.png"
        engine "murrine" {
            roundness = 0
        }
}

xthickness and ythickness should have a value of one for the best appearance.

For the Ambiance theme this was set to 0 and 0 (x and y thicknesses). For the Radiance them it was still 4 and 0.

Still needs some little tweak.

Cheers
