Well, have you taken a look at the current git head of the stable-0.4 branch? Because that's exactly what we've been doing, refreshing every element of the UI. Go build the latest version, you'll see. Also, if you like the idea of a honey LMMS, there's literally nothing stopping you (or someone else) from making a honey-coloured theme for LMMS, especially with the new improved theming capabilities that give more control over the palette. However as for the current palette, I really don't want to make any changes to it at this time. I posted the current palette back before we started all this UI work, and asked if anyone had any feedback - positive or negative - regarding it. No one said anything negative about it back then, so now we're committed to this palette, especially since there's no time (nor willingness, really) to redo all of the UI work, as the release has been set to 5 days from now. I also think the golden logo looks good. But with the current UI style and palette, the logo really doesn't fit the theme, and I'd rather have it thematically consistent. It's not a big thing really, and if people are really attached to the golden logo, we can keep that - there's really no rule dictating that the splash screen has to match the palette of the UI, and there are frankly more pressing issues wrt. thematic consistency - redesigning icons, LCD spinboxes, etc. It's just that since this is shaping up to be an important milestone release for LMMS, one with an absolutely dramatic difference to the previous version - I think it'd be smart to emphasize that, to really embrace the new style and theme. So that's why I'd prefer the splash screen to be consistent with the UI. But I won't press the issue if everyone else disagrees - again, it's a minor concern in the end. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
