To be honest, I doubt I'll be getting to any other work for a few weeks - things are heating up for feisty and I've a load to do already. The best way to do this would be to look at all the use cases and play around until you find a few good colors. After that, get the right shades of those and make a final selection. Sounds easy, eh? Unfortunately it is not as easy at it sounds and it'll probably get tweaked over time. Ken -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
