Hello Lists,
I'd like to suggest that we put at least one high visibility theme in
with the default Gnome set of themes so that it is installed with all
systems. If we go for just one, then I think it should be one that is
useful for the largest number of people, so one with large print. The
large print may be too big for some users, but it will at least allow
them to use the system long enough to install a larger theme selection
and tweak settings.
I'm also CCing in the accessibility list, and I would specifically like
to get some feedback from those with knowledge of low-vision issues. If
we have to pick one of those themes, which one is better for more
people: 'high contrast' or 'high contrast inverse'?
One reason this is especially important now is that we are looking at
options for creating an accessible Live CD and Ubuntu Express install
path (using a boot parameter). If one of the default themes were
accessible, then we could run a low-vision session right from first
boot, without having to put an extra 4MB (or whatever it is) of themes
on the CD. See:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuExpress/GnomeUserInterface/Accessibility
I'd also like to push this change up into the Gnome 2.14 upstream if
possible. Some of the current default themes are looking rather dated
IMHO (Crux, Ocean Dream, etc.). Are these kept around for backwards
compatibility reasons? There is a range of slick themes on art.gnome.org
that would be good alternatives.
