I do believe you can do a nice brown theme - my problem with most of them is that the brown overpowers everything. It's why I've got so much whitespace as a balance. > a 'hue-wheel' however might be just the medicine for the great number of > Ubuntu users that dislike brown on their desktop. based on a few tests with > Gimp i think Ken's Union theme and this theme would well in this regard: > > http://mossblaser.deviantart.com/art/Ubuntu-8-04-GUI-Design-Idea-7257460 > > cheers, >
I definately think this would be a good idea. It's pretty trivial to change the theme to be identical but with a different hue. I made a blue version in about 5 minutes. Providing 6 or so colour presets might be a good solution to the problem so if they really do hate the brown, they can change the colour without having to find their own theme. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
