Could you please summarize what needs to be done? Do you want to make a theme package which could be used by desktop-base? What we did for previous releases was to include the default artwork in desktop-base itself. In other words, desktop-base is default theme + machinery to make it work across desktop environments. You're of course more than welcome to have a separate theme package, but if it's picked to be the default it'll end up being redundant. >>> >>> 2012/4/4 shirish शिरीष <[email protected]> >>> Hi all, >>> First of all please CC me as I'm not subscribed to the list . >>> >>> It would be nice if some of this artwork could be in form >>> of .deb >>> packages which one could install at any given point in time.
