Re: Jaunty Artwork - almost done?!
Hi all, I forwarded a GTK theme suggestion to Pasi, but it would need to be tested similar to how we tested the shiki-colors / dark murrina themes for use on a more low-powered system. Pasi may not even like the theme, but it is included in the repos already, and I find it pretty complimentary to our current color scheme. The theme package in the repos is just called murrine-themes, and it incorporates a number of themes that wouldn't match our color scheme, but a couple that might work. If it's too late to include this, or you don't like the themes in there, I guess we can stick with Murrina Storm Cloud. Here is a link to a screenshot of my laptop with the Murrina Gilouche theme installed. http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/6951/screenshot1gpz.png All other theme elements are the defaults for 9.04. As for the usplash theme, both kubuntu and ubuntu have that cool, thin-line thing going on now. We had a slightly thinner line in a previous release of Xubuntu, but from what I can recall, our throbber breaks somehow when we try to make it thinner. Would there be any way to maybe copy the details / source lines from the Kubuntu package? I'm sure we could keep our own color scheme for the throbber line. Thoughts? Nice work on the Yay! items, Pasi. :) Hopefully we can get the boo items squared away. If not, we are still in pretty good shape for a nice-looking desktop.

I never really liked Gilouche, but it does seem to complement the rest very well, looks better than StormCloud does nowadays and more usable than tangoesque. So +1 from me :) Looks like this murrine-themes package is maintained by the Murrine team (https://launchpad.net/murrine-themes) and supposedly they support 0.9, which have had quite a lot changes. This makes it really appealing to use these themes as they would be on the edge - on the other hand they might break easily. I have to see the themes in that packages, but I really don't have any objection for a theme you others like. At least the Gilouche theme didn't look bad in the screenshot. As for the usplash theme, both kubuntu and ubuntu have that cool, thin-line thing going on now.

I believe Michael said he knew how to do Usplash, so... :) I think there was some discussion about Usplash and breaking the system. Cody, do I remember you saying that we can't risk including a new Usplash at this point of release cycle? Nice work on the Yay! items, Pasi. :) Hopefully we can get the boo items squared away. If not, we are still in pretty good shape for a nice-looking desktop.
