Since we had talked about that in the past, a general impression was: The Minimal skin should be default, in order to have lower memory consumption. The way the Linux kernel is made, even if we load the Minimal skin on top of the default one, the memory won't be returned to the system - and yes, it does matter when you are using the N810 for example :)
However, it would be nice to ship a more full-blown skin in the default installation. In this case, I would prefer the improved Sapphire skin - in case you haven't seen it, it looks MUCH better IMHO (How about a poll on the forum?) Also, maybe a lot of users would like the aWLM2009 skin - thanks Montblanc for the suggestion :) My 0.02€, Vivia 2009/3/26 square87 <squar...@gmail.com>: > Hi Montblanc > > Btw we need to have always a default skin to avoid problem with the code... > Then the user can choose/download every skin he just wants... > > We already talked about a wizard but the ideas doesn't like to everyone, the > same for "Did You Know?" > > Square87 > > 2009/3/26 Montblanc <toto...@gmail.com> >> >> Excuse me but I couldn't avoid listening to your conversation... :P I >> think defaulting to Minimal and/or adding a "Welcome" wizard to let >> users set the most common preferences and skin should be the best >> compromise.
