Let me get this part off my chest first: <rant> http://live.gnome.org/ReleasePlanning/TwoPointEleven
We hit UI freeze last week. I declared a new theme three weeks ago. Does anybody remember the last release cycle? How about the one before that? And then there's this: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2005-February/msg00343.html Quoth: "We WILL NOT shit upon our beloved docs dudes by changing the default theme 5 minutes before a release forcing them to go on a panicked screenshooting rampage." "By March 1, 2005, we will have a set of contingency plans, with dates, outlining what will be done by when." Honestly, sheesh. </rant> All right, I feel better now. Within the last week, Richard Stellingwerff has landed the latest Clearlooks stuff into our CVS repository, in gtk-engines. And he applied my change that makes the selection color more vibrant. A big thanks goes out to Richard for doing that. (Intermission for those not tracking closely: I modified the default Clearlooks theme to give it a brighter selection color, but still not obnoxiously bright. I called my modification "Clearlooks Blue". Richard has taken that new color into the default Clearlooks, so Clearlooks Blue is dead, and the default Clearlooks is to be the default theme.) Here's what I need now: 1) The Clearlooks Metacity theme needs to be landed into CVS in gnome-themes. Any number of people have provided patches for this, including me. 2) A Clearlooks desktop theme needs to be landed into CVS in gnome-themes. It should use the Clearlooks GTK+ theme, the Clearlooks Metacity theme, and the Gnome icon theme. Again, patches abound. 3) The libgnome maintainers need to change the default GTK+ and icon themes in their GConf schemas. 4) The Metacity maintainers need to change the default theme in their schemas. I have about a month to make sure 80+ pieces of documentation are in order. I don't want to have to worry about this crap anymore. Please, somebody be my hero. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
