Yes, we can get it from there, but the highlight color is red. I'm fine with that, but it would be nice if it was blue to fit our color scheme better. :) > Packaging something from scratch and getting it uploaded into either > Debian or Ubuntu (preferably Debian) is not something that will happen > very fast.

X-D ) but the debian source is at a newer version. 2.6.1 > Of course I am happy to mentor Jonathan. I am very patchy with > availability, so it would be better to do it here on the list.

However, Krytarik and I have been looking into this the past few days. We gathered the source SVGs from upstream to facilitate color-customization https://github.com/numixproject/numix-gtk-theme/issues/508 and successfully made a script to convert the theme's colors and re-render the required PNGs. Krytarik asked me to push the custom theme to lp:ubuntustudio-look/numix-blue-theme so that he could work on the packaging into our repository. But i am stuck by my fear to mess-up the ubuntustudio-look branch with my poor bzr skills. Could you help me Ross? This is what i have done so far: - I pulled the branch with: bzr branch lp:ubuntustudio-look - I pulled the debian source of numix, and edited is as needed to turn everything red into blue. What i am stuck with is really a noob thing: i'm not sure how to push if i want the theme to be a spearate branch... i've been told (i think) by Krytarik that i could do: 'bzr push lp:~ubuntustudio-look/numix-theme-blue' but i am affraid i might have misunderstood Krytarik's instructions and since he is not available atm i'm asking here. The thing is that i don't want the 'usr' and 'po' folders from ubuntustudio-look/trunk to be in ubuntustudio-look/numix-theme-blue... I hope i'm making sense and that we still have the time frame to do this. Yours, -- Set Hallstrom aka sakrecoer
