What quality of display(s) and color calibration are required?

In all the years I have been doing this, that question has never
entered
my mind and I have no idea how to even begin answering it. I do "eye"
art not "machine" art. I can perceive even one increment change in a
hex.
Problem is . . . no one can know exactly what color another person is
seeing. Add to that the vagaries of the monitor and . . .
I don't know if a screenshot would capture the hex or what's showing
on
your monitor but maybe you could give it a try for the chimaera
desktop
and let us have a look.
Ok, thanks. I guess from that answer and the others, that aspect might
not be so important at the moment in this project.
Are the colors for Daedalus chosen already?
I see that the one tar ball is about Chimaera:
Clearlooks-Phenix-Deepsea. Is that a complete sample?
Hi Lars . . .
Yes. Colors will never display the same on any 2 monitors. I came to
this realization when I first started designing websites 20 years ago
and gave up trying.
All the files that need to be altered are here:
https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documentation/src/branch/master/art/graphics/chimaera-deepsea
And the HOW-TO is here:
https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documentation/src/branch/master/art/graphics/theming-devuan.md
The process begins with selection of the "base colors" of the Desktop
wallpaper. The Clearlooks-Phenix-* theme. The rest of the pieces cannot
be created until that color palette has been chosen and finalized:
https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documentation/src/branch/master/art/graphics/chimaera-deepsea/backgrounds
What color does the story of Daedalus (and his son Icarus) evoke in your
mind? I think of searing Mediterranean sun and intensely blue water.
Play with it and see what pops up.
Any questions. Just ask. :)
Enjoy the journey!
