(forky) artwork proposals


Dear Debianites

This is the official call for artwork proposals for the
forky cycle. For the most up to date details, please
refer to the wiki[1]. At the same time, we would like
to thank Elise Couper for creating the Ceratopsian  theme
for trixie[2].

So, if you would like (or know someone who would like)
to create a desktop look and feel that will be seen by
trillions of people, be sure to send in your artwork
ASAP!

Deadline for submissions: 2026-09-12

The artwork is usually picked based on which theme looks the most:

- "Debian"

(Admittedly not the most defined concept, since
everyone has their own take on what Debian means
to them.)

- plausible to integrate without patching core software

(As much as we love some of the insanely good
looking themes, some would require heavy GTK+ theming
and patching GDM/GNOME.)

- clean / well designed

(without becoming something that gets annoying to look
at a year down the road. Examples of good themes
include Emerald, Homeworld, Joy, Lines, softWaves
and futurePrototype)

For more information / details, please post to the
Debian Desktop[3] list, to which the reply-to for this mail
has been set.

-Jonathan, on behalf of the Debian Desktop team
