Hi everyone, here's a little something I did in Puppy 4.2.1 a while ago to make it look more visually balanced and refined.
I've combined the Gradient-grey JWM theme with the Clearlooks Gtk+ 2.0 theme, and set the JQ8flat-lite icon set with the Pwidgets_background. I've also made a customized menu button that incorporates the official puppy logo, altered the widget side bar and rearranged a few of the widgets.
I really like the official Puppy logo, and it seems silly not to have it incorporated into the default puppy theme. I think it looks really nice in the menu button.
I know Puppy 4.3 has been released, and I could incorporate this style into the newer version, but I thought I'd show you what I've done here anyway.
