Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] colours

Yes, couldn't we put  bunch of options up on the wiki or something and
everyone could vote?
Seems the most democratic way of doing things to me.

 How about a few screenshots in a few different colours to see what the
 consensus is?

 hm, ok, purple is a trendcolour. thats right, its in (even if some
 magazines say that grey is the new purple), but it will become out again.
 maybe one year, maybe three, but same as neon-colours: totally cool now (and
 in the 80ies), but forgotten and ugly in some years.
 Our logo (and thats were i want the colourchange, even if the ubuntu logo
 is yellow and orange and brown, many parts of the standard theme are grey)
 should have a colour thats always ok, like a evergreen . purple has nothing
 to do with the philosophy of lxde or lubuntu. green has.  i changed your
 screenshot to green (just for comparison) and made some on my own.

 i made the files brown, a purple/blue/green wallpaper and logo doesn't
 meen that every little symbol has to have that colour.
 best regards, jo.

 I didn't say it's pink. but it's more of a tone of pinkish varieties of
 violet ;) and I just know how many people would react depite it looks good

   Looks nice to me. And I wouldn't call it pink, it looks more like
 purple... ;)

 I think it is going in a good direction - a minimal gamma correction to
 make it look less pink (especially the lighter part of wallparer), maybe
 base it on #4B0082 indigo? and I think we have an original, good look. I
 think it's nice even now, but many people would call it 'gay' (I didn't 
 want
 to use that word, but don't know how to say that nicely, I hope you guys
 understand), that why I propose less pinkish hue.

  Wow, I see an explossion about colour issue. Please, check the theme
 wiki and see the options. I've made a few wallpapers for matching the 
 blue
 colours. And I must be clear, I've received from Canonical the colour
 specifications about usage, logos, trademarks and Pantone(tm) references.
 That's why Xubuntu and Kubuntu (and official derivatives, as we want to
 be) are blue. Anyway, look at this shot:



 Is the purple / pink background with dark panel. As you can see
 there're a lot of combinations, but remaining theme specs. I'll made a 
 poll
 to request your preferences about GUI details.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Default Browser

2010-02-01 Thread Douglas Stanley
I just checked out arora and midori (midori from ppa). I'm thinking
midori is the best *default* option.
If people want firefox, they can easily apt-get it anyay, but if we
need to pick a default, and want to
keep with the lightweight principles, I think midori is the way to go...

Does kubuntu default to konqueror? I remember most KDE distros used to
default to konqueror and
firefox had to be installed separate. It's not a whole lot different than that.

 Been using midori all day long at every site i can think of with no

 pokey program
