You did not reply to my question related to theme and wallpaper in general. If I understand you like the idea but with these minor tweaks...

In general I like the MokshaGreen theme a bit better, yes. I've always used it as my base theme because it has the darkest available background for start menu and quick launcher, and I like that gadget button. And yes, the new wallpaper is cool!
But my opinion on all the details is not that important! In those notes I posted, I tried to mention theme related issues that relate more to functionality or things I think the majority of people would prefer, not things that are purely my opinion. These things also don't matter much for the release, cuz its easy to customize to personal taste oneelf. But if you want my opinion: 1. I prefer the arc dark style of window borders buttons. Or even plain round circles like epiphany has in alpha4. 2. I think the green color used everywhere is a tiny bit too bright or ugly or flourescent or something for my personal taste; I actually prefer the darker green used in the arkdark theme. 3. I think plain green icons are boring, but I understand they're faster, so I like having the 3D icons for apps. However it does create a bit of inconsistency, even in the menus now. (All preferences are flat green icons, and a couple things in the system tools... but rest of apps are 3D icons... rest of menus and settings 3D... etc).

Yea, I agree with icons inconsistency. I sorta follow your icons style in bodhi-vice-versa. You have the same there. Menus are yellow flat icons while apps are original 3D. I am not any GFX guru so I need some help here.

I've been playing with the alpha4 iso and have some notes to share. Let me know what is unclear! ... 3. thunar desktop file "Home" exec doesnt work (Failed to open "%U") 4. bodhi-theme-pack depends bodhi-theme-moksha-arc but not installable [no errors reported when using bodhi appcenter] ... fixed in the BL7 repo. Thanks for noticing ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

#8, #9a, #10,#21, #22, #23, #24 items solved in theme. Also added a border left/right edge for better overlapped windows distinguish. Unfocused window without shine.
Stefan
EDIT: I do not understand item #22 22 Start Menu and Everything Starter have the same icon except everything-starter is smaller. [At least make everything the same size, and/or give one of them a different big icon]

I'm often impressed how fast you work sometimes!
See screenshot bottom left corner... obviously I've customized a bit while playing, but if you put everything starter on your shelf next to start, you'll clearly see the size difference. Can you make everything starter icon as big as the others when on shelf?

Mainly just looking at lxtask. When sorted by RSS, which I assume is memory usage but now am wondering, it is more than anything else. Maybe there's better ways to measure, but this shows it using 89.8MB. I tried htop and sort by memory usage, it also showest the highest, it shows four lines at 4.6%, I'm not sure how to read that, but 18% of the ~250mb used seems about the same.
However, now that you questioned me, I dunno. I tried killing it and it only reduces used memory by 16MB.

I will take a look at it in more detail. But I am unsure I can do anything about nm-applet memory usage.

5. tasks module: shrink to fit not working (I think has to do with ibar showing tasks too)
Yes, I can confirm it is related to iBar. Now I know why. IBar has got an autoscroll feature enabled by default. This feature causes the ibar gadget size decreasing and possibility to scroll among items. Long story short, I know what is happenning here and can reproduce it. I have a working solution here which needs some tweak.

I took some time to educate myself and the main takeaway is I need to pay attention to RSS *minus* SHR to be able to tell how much memory would be freed by not using something. So although nm-applet may need 90mb of stuff, some of that stuff was already loaded by other programs that needed it, so it's additional footprint isn't quite so significant. And lxtask doesnt showthat; htop does, so I think its 91940-70752=21,188 kB. Not nearly so significant.
However, if you really wanted to reduce it, I did read something in the arch wiki, one way is to not keep it resident at all, with a shortcut that opens it and kills it when its done. I guess in moksha's case, one could theoretically make a moksha module that does that...
#!/bin/sh nm-applet 2>&1 > /dev/null & stalonetray 2>&1 > /dev/null killall nm-applet # When you close the stalonetray window, it closes nm-applet too, so no extra memory is used once you are done with network settings.

Solved and commited to Moksha. Still in testing mode...

Just for your info: a weird bug related to ephoto settings was solved as well. Theme related bug which caused problem with closing setting dialog.
