Dust Sand window borders: text overlaps with icon in window title bar

[Bernhard]

Binary package hint: gnome-themes-ubuntu

In the Dust Sand theme, the text overlaps with the icon in the window title bar. It's easy to understand what I mean if you look at the attached screenshot.

I think I have a pretty normal jaunty install and I'm using the human icon set in that screenshot. So I think it's a theme bug.

I just realized that the aurora dust theme on

http://www.sendspace.com/folder/42nqne

still has this bug.

[Kido (greasedbolt)]

Fixed in bzr.

[Bernhard (b.a.koenig)]

Since it's fixed in bzr, will it also make it's way into the karmic repos? It's not in there yet. Sorry for the bump, I just wanted to make sure it's released before final karmic.

[Bernhard (b.a.koenig)]

Sorry to bump you again but shouldn't we put this fix into the newest package of gnome-themes-ubuntu? It's still not there in my karmic install.

I just installed and updated karmic amd64 and this issue is still present. This is referring to the window border for the Dust Sand theme and no other. I had to download the latest version (Dust-extras-0.4.tar.gz) from https://code.launchpad.net/dusttheme/+download to get it to work properly. This should definitely be included in the updates.

[Bernhard (b.a.koenig)]

I'll set this to "Fix committed" in gnome-themes-ubuntu, so all they have to do is merge it for lucid.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-themes-ubuntu - 0.6

For anyone using the older version you can copy Dust Sand from /usr/share/themes to your .themes folder and change lines 245, 248, 251, 254 and 257 to:

<icon x="(width-mini_icon_width)/2" y="(height-mini_icon_height)/2" width="mini_icon_width" height="mini_icon_height"/>

for inactive or prelight conditions use an alpha setting

<icon x="(width-mini_icon_width)/2" y="(height-mini_icon_height)/2" width="mini_icon_width" height="mini_icon_height" alpha="0.75" />

this should clean up your Dust Sand problem. :)

I know this is fixed but being in lucid now with the metacity buttons move to the left, maybe we should add even more space between buttons and text? Or should I file a new bug?

See attached screenshot.

[Bernhard (b.a.koenig)]

I guess the newly occurring problems due to the buttons on the left are discussed here: bug 532633
