Not sure we have anyone who is up for that. In short: Numix would work /if/ we can live with red highlight color? Then again, non of the existing ready made options i know of fit the Ubuntu Studio color scheme fully. Anyone else want to have a say or have ideas? Or better: maybe someone wants to maintain a Numix UbuntuStudioBlue theme for us? :) Let's think about it until Wednesday 10th august ;) -- Set Hallstrom aka sakrecoer signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

I saw it :-) I have always been very boring, and just got on with what ever default theme was given to me by my distro. So I generally don't have much of an opinion in this area. So - a go for it from me. The less delta we have from xubuntu, the easier it is to get help from those guys.

[ubuntu-studio-devel] Shimmer and Numix (was: unmet dependencies)
Hi all, Bellow i paste this email i sent Thu, 28 Jul 2016 to ask you for your opinion. It got nested in another thread, so i break it lose to make sure everyone sees it. ( https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-devel/2016-July/007973.html ) Since feature freeze is around the corner, if no one objects before Sunday 7th august, i will proceed and do the changes from greybird to numix as default theme with ubuntu studio blue as highligt color, and switch from murrine to shimmer as xubuntu have done.
