[Lubuntu-desktop] [Bug 420513] Re: [needs packaging] lubuntu desktop meta

2009-08-31 Thread Martin-Éric Racine
The blue theme doesn't differentiate enough from KDE.  We need to use
other colors.   How about these? (attachment)

@Martin-Éric
You can found some details about bzr here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bzr . 
Basically, you just need to branch the lubuntu-meta branch 
(https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop/+junk/lubuntu-meta), make 
your modifications, push your branch somewhere, and propose to merge your 
branch into the main lubuntu-meta branch.

@Mario
It's very nice :) A possible icon theme to go with this blue theme could be the 
Gnome-brave icon theme for GNOME-Colors icon theme. But it's easier to judge 
with some examples of real desktop with different themes.

Hi,

I like those designs, but I am not decided which way I like most. I
think we can also gather more design suggestions and it is always
easier to see, than to hear how something looks like.

Fedora created an adapted them for the LXDE spin. Openbox is just one
part, we also need to create athe theme in LXAppearance. There is no
general config file - it is actual designed this way currently, as
there is no other lightweight solution yet.

Generally would be good to get closer to the LXDE blue. Lets also try
to find something that looks light. UbuntuHuman looks somewhat heavy I
feel.

The forum for lubuntu designs is open here:
http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=437

Best,

- Mario

I personally like the all-blue background with the bubbly logo best.
I'd however omit the LXDE logo from the Ubuntu circle, since it looks
like some creepy insect. Instead, I'd focus on this nearly translucent
bubbly Ubuntu circle and adopt that as our logo, for the boot splash,
desktop background and Start menu icon.

FWIW, here, I've been using an orange and grey theme on my desktop. If
you look at the default themes that come with OpenBox, there's one
with orangeish window title bars that look very Ubuntu-Human friendly.
Combining this with some greyscale version of the bubbly Ubuntu
circle, we'd have ourselves some really cool Lubuntu style: Ubuntu
orange with LXDE grey and blue. We could use those 3 colors as our
primaries for our version of the Ubuntu circle logo and as our colors
for the default desktop theme, in combination with the Ubuntu Human
icon theme.

How does that sound?
