A comment on Introduction to Gnome 3.

I'm sorry, but that Metacity theme and even the GTK+ theme are really lacking. They lack the polish that Meerkat's Ambiance theme has (everytime I post a screenshot of stock 10.10 I get comments asking what the themes are).

It's a shame, I think Gnome-Shell looks cool and I think GNOME3 brings a lot of UI/UX changes that have been needed for a while, but they're not doing themselves any favors giving the actual appearance a real chance to shine. The "GNOME" default icons are a pity, too.

edit, I guess it's not Metacity any longer... Mutter.

That is an old gtk theme. The GTK3 look fits better with the new titlebar

It's getting better, but that screenshot has plenty of it's own problems. That titlebar, menu, icon row and tabs takes up like 200+ px. Versus like 60 with Chrome.

What's the deal?

Large objects are easier to target. (That, and Chrome doesn't have a menu bar, which would at least bump it up to 80px.)
