After looking into it, the latest stuff that we have is 100% based on using a black background. Even if I remove the black background the other parts are still bright orange which would not work on almost any other color. I can easily export those but we will simply need to switch to using a black background and the new template stuff which is black and orange. -- Ken -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
