Scott was saying IRC: "scott-upstairs i am partial to the greybird theme, i find it very easthically pleasing in it's elegance and simplicity 23:14 scott-upstairs practically perfect for what i think ubuntu studio should use 23:14 scott-upstairs now, if we could manage some art work that reflects this state 23:15 scott-upstairs a grey scale ubuntu studio cof might be nice"
Ok... no problem but, in my messing around with themes I tried the dark phasex theme (comes with phasex) which was nice and ended me up with a live window decoration of bright green (everything else dark... not sure I like the purple). I liked that as I use focus follows mouse and I like to know where my typing will end up... greybird has active and non-active window decorations almost the same I am constantly wondering which window has focus.... not good for work flow. Point two. Text box contrast. Phasex fails this completely. The text colour and the background colour of a lot of text boxes end up being the same... unreadable. I tried on my Xubutu 11.10 netbook the window manager theme of Biz to give good clear text, and appearance theme of xfce-stellar which gives a nice contrasting window decoration for focus.. not being interested in pretty when it interferes with use or work. The rest is pretty neutral though darker would be just fine by me. In the end it doesn't matter to me as I am not a new user (linux since 93 or so... Yggdrasil live CD, yeah they had those back then, but it was more of a challenge to get them to run) I will set my desk how I want anyway. However, just thinking about the new user. Biz may work well with other themes too.
