Actually, that is not the case and sadly it was widely mis-reported in the media. This is pretty standard for the media (especially tech media) and one should always check what they present as "facts" before believing them. We are currently still using GNOME for the default desktop task and there hasn't been any decision by the release team to allow switching. As far as I can tell, the release team have been instead pursuing shrinking the size of GNOME binary packages using better compression. pabs@chianamo ~/tmp $ apt-get source tasksel Reading package lists...

I guess you missed the recent posts about that: http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2012/14/#artwork http://lists.debian.org/debian-desktop/2012/06/msg00015.html http://jonathancarter.org/2012/08/24/wheezy-theme-updates/ http://www.eshat.de/blog/?p=363 http://blog.pault.ag/post/25747178764 http://blog.pault.ag/post/25614704596 As far as your specific themes go, if you want them to be available in Debian, I suggest that you go through the usual processes (file ITP bug, make packages, look for a sponsor): http://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers In terms of the structure of theme packages, here are some thoughts for post-wheezy theme packages: http://lists.debian.org/debian-desktop/2012/07/threads.html#00050 -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-desktop-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
