I agree, three themes, but there's no reason to stop at 3 if we get four great ones made. Also, I'd like to think about a way of being able to switch between them easily - that will change GDM, BG, Usplash, and some other App splashes, if we get that far. A good theme has so many components it is crazy to expect the user to 'turn them all on' but we shouldn't expect them to have to reinstall a theme to change the theme, unless we write a little UI that does that for them. I propose a theme consitst of: Usplash theme GDM theme Desktop BG Icon theme (NOT expecting these to be designed form scratch, just use a good HQ one that fits best if you want... edit key icons, perhaps) GTK Theme Opional but good: Matching theme for QT apps. Some nod to Wine integration by using linux colours or a WinXP theme that is close to yours Firefox Theme IF FF doesn't inherit your theme well (userstyles.css, if I remember correctly) Evolution theme (if evolution doesn't pick up the GTK icons yet...didn't used to) Splash screens for Gimp, OpenOffice, other major apps with splashes. Perhaps: Sounds More than one BG -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
