Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] colours
wow. I won't comment cause I don't want to potentially offend anyone, it just doesn't apply to me at all. IMO there is nothing that connects lighweight software and saving enviroment, the usage of resources doesn't convince me at all, and such way of thinking associates me badly. let's just put away the philosophy argument, please. still, the first screenshot was a nice suprise, possible way to go with green, I wouldn't complain if lubuntu eventually looked like that, while the second didn't appeal to me (the grey taskbar and dirty titlebar were ugly, icons were in some different not matching colour, etc). 2010/2/18 Jo Gerb jo.ge.s...@googlemail.com its just that lubuntuusers wont have to buy a new computer, they can still use their old one (good for our planet). Lubuntu needs less ressources than other distributions. lxde is leightweight, and i dont know, but i associate that with green. like a flower or a tree that can grow on a little piece of earth with some water and some light not needing much more, lubuntu will be usable on (almost) every hardware. 2010/2/18 Sylkis syl...@gmail.com what does green have to filosophy of either ubuntu or LXDE? and why purple doesn't? but I even like the screenshots, even though it resembles openSUSE, which associates me badly. the green used there is not so dirty as I was almost sure it would be, and problably it is why I have ben so plesantly suprised :) but still i'd use a darker and more pure colour for titlebar of second screen. 2010/2/18 jo franz jo.ge.s...@googlemail.com 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. 2010/2/18 Sylkis syl...@gmail.com 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 2010/2/18 Jonay Santana jonay.sant...@gmail.com Looks nice to me.

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.
