>I definitely think the panel should match the launcher's 
chameleonic design. Window borders, however, should continue using the 
Ambiance theme to create a distinction between the desktop shell (Panel,
 Dash, Launcher, Alt-tab switcher) and content/applications.

As everything evolves and matches better, there will always be a distinction between ui and the apps no matter what theme you use as you can see on some of the pics.

Subject: [Unity-design] exploring matching launcher, panel and window borders for unity 6.0+ ?










Unity is constantly evolving in the looks department. Components start to match and integrate better with each other in every new cycle:

- launcher and its elements now matches the chameleonic dash.

- notify-osd now matches too. example:

Now, are there any plans to explore the remaining elements like matching panel, window borders and maybe some extra theming in the next cycles (after the lts) ?

I think unity could become more beautiful, than any current desktop.

I've found some examples (some very similar or inspired by unity) of panels/borders in this gallery and i must say they would look great:

some of my favorites are:

http://thewildsider.deviantart.com/art/Sunny-AM-160788081 (nice matching panel, though this was unity :o)

http://thewildsider.deviantart.com/art/Falling-Indeed-175711205 (nice panel and vertical menu)

http://thewildsider.deviantart.com/art/Lazy-Day-162669024 (very nice overall and borders)

http://thewildsider.deviantart.com/art/Playing-With-Time-166536953 (oh)

http://thewildsider.deviantart.com/art/W-equal-DT-162260213 (borders look good)


that's one of my hopes for upcoming cycles :)
