Dear Friends,
Debian Ciel is in its final Squeeze version, 2.2. I have, again, uploaded it
as a tar.gz.
SVN just wouldn't work the way I pictured it, so I kindly asked Valessio to
help
"pick up the pieces" (OOOPS!), but feel free to update it with the giant
8MB+ source
yourself. The SVN therefore is still the older version. I personally am
really short
on time and can therefore not travel to Tibet and acquire version control
foo :D.
Maybe in another life... Sorry for the inconvenience...
As always, the wiki has more about the theme, but some highlights:
* The theme now has 2 versions -- one with the pinkish Debian branding
(Debian Ciel)
and another with a dark gray one (Debian Ciel Discreet).
* Added a Debian Ciel Tango Icon Theme, which is basically Tango with
the start-here icon
changed from those blue shoes to a Debian icon.
* All theme proposals were reverted to the default Debian settings due
to stability concerns.
These are basically Clearlooks for everything GTK (not sure about
Xfce?). They are fine for
the skin colour-wise. The icon theme is still debated and I am also
hoping we will see
the lxde logout splash.

Have a nice one!
