[ubuntu-art] Intrepid Ibex Theme

[Dylan McCall]

The GDM mockup that guy made has a striking resemblance to New Wave,
so this may not be as far off as we assume. One issue with the mockup
is that it is hoping for rounded corners at the bottom of windows, but
there is no border to acomodate this. That can be overcome by having a
thicker bottom border, which is a good idea anyway for easily resizing
the window.

Forcing a round corner without adding a Metacity window border to
accommodate it (if it was possible within today's infrastructure,
which I do not believe is so) would need to cut off actual content. We
don't want that. MPlayer users, for example, would kill us.

Ideally, I think window decoration themes should be superceded by GTK
container widgets, which may afford us some interesting control along
these lines. Until then - if that is even possible or remotely
desirable, which is iffy - ... it wouldn't be looking like the mockup.

I think the colour scheme is pretty decent, though, and I appreciate
that this mockup keeps the actual software intact. There are some nice
ideas in here :)
Oh, cool background, too. And that wifi icon is actually useful; it
takes the extra step of actually using an antenna to describe what the
signal strength bars represent, which is Really Important yet
strangely never done. (Even in those operating systems that spend
millions on usability testing).
