Hi all, I forwarded a GTK theme suggestion to Pasi, but it would need to be tested similar to how we tested the shiki-colors / dark murrina themes for use on a more low-powered system. Pasi may not even like the theme, but it is included in the repos already, and I find it pretty complimentary to our current color scheme. The theme package in the repos is just called "murrine-themes", and it incorporates a number of themes that wouldn't match our color scheme, but a couple that might work. If it's too late to include this, or you don't like the themes in there, I guess we can stick with Murrina Storm Cloud.
Here is a link to a screenshot of my laptop with the Murrina Gilouche theme installed. http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/6951/screenshot1gpz.png All other theme elements are the defaults for 9.04. As for the usplash theme, both kubuntu and ubuntu have that cool, thin-line thing going on now. We had a slightly thinner line in a previous release of Xubuntu, but from what I can recall, our throbber breaks somehow when we try to make it thinner. Would there be any way to maybe copy the details / source lines from the Kubuntu package? I'm sure we could keep our own color scheme for the throbber line. Thoughts? Nice work on the Yay! items, Pasi. :) Hopefully we can get the "boo" items squared away. If not, we are still in pretty good shape for a nice-looking desktop.
