Not sure if you are anti-MS but IMHO Yahei is the best CJK font to be used with LCD screens right now, other than that, beautiful theme, pretty elegant, still not comfortable with seeing 火狐 rather than firefox
I decided to try out microsofts Yahei font again, and it is really ellegant and looks good on the desktop, and in menus and konqueror! Really clean and shows up nicely. I don't think it look as good in the terminal though, so I kept my termal fonts. I'ts amazing how just changing the fonts can make your system apear so much nicer! For the English font in menus I,m still trying to decide between bitstream and microsoft sans serif. Microsft sans serif looks a tiny bit nicer over all I think, but is thicker and bolder looking than bitstream.
I'm having trouble with moc displaying some Chinese characters that display just fine in a normal urxvt terminal. I think there might be a glitch in moc using utf8.

your theme is very nice and subtle. I prefer more color, personally. I use a slightly modified orpheus theme from http://moc.daper.net/contrib
have you tried selecting ascii to get symbols?
]]>Thanks blu3ness, I have the MS Yahei font and used it for a while. It is very clean and a great compromise when using English and Chinese, but something about it I couldn't get use to. I'm more of a serif fan with English fonts and the chinese style was just alittle to plain and boxy looking for me. Even so, I do use it as a second choice in my fonts.conf file. The icons are only still there because I've been too lazy to delete them. by the way, I agree with you about 火狐
bionnaki, The directory listing looks just like the screen shot using cyan as the selected color, but without bold. Your really pretty limited with the moc theme. It just lets you manipulate the colors and or transparency of all the functions, which corresponds to what the terminal theme is set to. It could look completely different depending on which terminal you open moc up on. It can be a little confusing figuring the theme file out at first. I wish there was a way to make the border lines transparent. I also wish it would let us substitute a symbol rather than a color for the progress bar. Thats why I made the progress bar transparent , so it wouldn't show up. Anyway, it's still my fav music app! : )
