Personally, I like whatever Feisty is using currently - this includes the blue tango icons. It looks clean and glossy (with the new look for window decorations).
As for the GDM theme, I'm not sure I like how it is boxed like that - it feels like we aren't using the rest of the screen real-estate and lacks a level of professionalism that the dapper gdm theme provided. As for the usplash, I don't like the text. I don't think that it provides the clean, lean, and professional image that I'd like to see us strive for. Thanks, Cody A.W.

Hi all, It is time to start thinking about the gtk, the window manager and the icon themes that will go into feisty. In order to unify the desktop to the fullest and give a unique character to the release we need to change the previous practice that simply accepted the upstream default settings without modifications (clearlooks and the gnome window decoration). Since we are using the gnome desktop layout, it is a good idea to give a distinct character to xubuntu, in order to fend off the critics according to which xubuntu is just a cheap clone of gnome. By the way, recently I hear this opinion more and more on the forums and the various blog sites. These are my suggestions for feisty: 1) Icons: gray tango 2) gtk theme: murrina gray (the default clearlooks beige doesn't look good with blue, too warm and murrina is faster) 3) Beryl window manager: some blue or glass theme that picks up the background color. I made a screen shot about one possible setup that can be further modified if needed. Ideas are welcome. I've created this wiki where we can put up screen-shots that can be discussed later. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Desktop/Feisty/Incoming Jmak -- 2007 Calendar http://www.lulu.com/content/512622 http://jozmak.googlepages.com/ -- xubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
