I'm not saying I don't like the gdm mockup, but since you said you're looking for opinions I'll say I'd prefer something more abstract (without the tree and birds). > 2.

I prefer Humanity, even though gnome-brave isn't a bad choice. I think Humanity (minus the orange; I assume you would recolor it - at least the most important parts) just looks a bit more modern and elegant. > 3. GTK+ theme > > We want to refresh our GTK+ theme.

Other than the color-scheme I don't have a strong opinion on which murrine-theme it will be.

We had this discussion on #xubuntu-devel a while ago - I still like joining the menu-bar and xfwm. > 5. U/Xsplash / Live CD boot menu > > Do we want a basic logo only?

Sorry that I wasn't very active lately, but I've been travelling a lot and that minimized my internet-access and irc time drastically. From October on this should be better again. Alrighty, keep up the good work and kudos to Pasi for creating such nice artwork - you are the master of blue!
