When there are very few words and strong ideas behind, you can't always translate them as easily we would love to. Translating means adapting as well, and sometimes we have to get rid of all the initial words to keep the meaning, and it looks like new slogan at the end. For example, each release has a pun on the website. For Fedora 9 it is "Make waves" which can't be translated into french as such, as it has a negative meaning and nothing to do with "waves", word linked to the theme of Fedora 9. So we had to adapt it, use a new slogan keeping this idea of waves and spreading to people : "The New Wave" (La nouvelle vague -- in French). I remain quite sceptical though...

I'm trying to make something different than "i like it" as MD suggested it in her mail yesterday [1]. * About the wallpaper The impressions it conveys to me is that everything is going higher. All the elements that compose our logo are going higher. As they all represent freedom and community, it makes free software in general going higher and as a consequence the use we can make of a computer is improving thanks to foss. Going higher is a positive direction (even if i don't believe in any god) it seems god may be above us. Freedom could be linked as well as something pure then. I'm a bit sad with this "fedora" that seems stuck on earth. Maybe it could try to reach some sky as well. * About Metacity Theme and GTK+ Theme I feel very strange about flatness. It seems that windows are only one piece of everything, whereas there are different elements that compose a nautilus windows (title bar, menu bar etc.) About the top right hand corner buttons, the fact they do not convey the actions they are aimed at will be very annoying for people who are not used to a computer. * Bootsplash Concept It seems to be the ufo of this theme. Even if it is pure, as there are nothing but Fedora on it, it is the same Fedora stuck to earth that all his friends that were going higher in the wallpaper abandoned there. Pureness must then not rhyme with emptiness. I feel that pureness is well conveyed with no "bug" on a painting, no shortcomings (perfect light - no shadow - bright and sharp colours for example) Cheers, hope this helps.

Light blue and white for fc5 and dark blue and black for fc6. I mean that there seems to be a gap between grub image and gdm image.

I found it very polished already, nice work. However, in Evolution, i think that in the "reply", "reply to all", "forward" and the "send/receive" icon button should have bigger arrows, so as to be able to know at first sight to which direction the arrow is pointing to. I can add as well that the guys on the "reply to all" icon are not that visible enough as well. I provide feedbacks in other mails if I have something to add.

'Core n' is not translated, but I think that now the absence of artwork for a release is no more a problem. As long as you had time to make a release-numbered wallpaper, why not using it ? It will preserve our stock of neutral wallpaper : http://www.isity.net/blog/?cat=7 http://pookstar.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=0 and some other I don't have right away. > > I'm curious why you mentioned XCF as a translatable format?

The text was not turned to paths. Sorry, I have completely forgot you made a svg. I am not used to it at all but will be a good reason to get starting.
