****UPDATE***

Finally figured out how to customize expanders in a Pixmap theme, which I've never seen done. Here is the code if anyone wants to give it a try. EXPANDER CODE

Make an Expanders folder in your gtk theme and put 3 images in there that you want for the expanders, since its kind of animated there will be an expanded, semi-expanded and collapsed. Semi-expanded and semi-collapsed use the same image of course. I have +,- and one in between for the images as example.

End Update

i'm sorry i do not know.what are expanders?

Pj, I took a quick screen just for you. [link]

The arrows are the expanders. You would normally just see gtk triangles there, but now you can theme them, so put whatever the hell you want in its place. As you see, I like simple, so I just made some arrows, hehe.

oh that's awesome man. thanks for telling me! i just didn't know. lol. anyways, yeah that's cool! it's all about those little details. thanks for showing me too.

Pixmap engine is the best engine for Gtk in my opinion because you can change every single image of the style and this expander code completes it. Took some doing but I'm glad I figured it out. Yeah, I'm all about the details. Now all linux needs is some good customizers/ideas since it has more possibilities than windows.

Oh yeah, if you have any questions about anything or help, please let me know because I like your windows shots and I hope you use some linux, hehe.
