Affects: ubuntu-artwork (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
Hi everybody,
I hope this is the right place to make s suggestion about artwork and
polish, as is it not about bugs.
First of all, I would like to say that it is a very good thing that you take
care of users feelings about new themes you create/propose.
About that, I know that many people told you that the new theme in Dapper was
too orange and maybe ugly. But you must keep in mind that this is not
everybody's feeling about that.
Personnaly, I didn't like the new human theme (brown windows, orange
when flying upon buttons and menus and orange folders), I LOVED IT SO
MUCH ! It was a very good idea.It was very different than what we are
used to see. And I find the one you replaced it with is ugly (orange
folders with blue menus are really not good together).
Of course, you cannot satisfy everybody's tastes/feelings about artwork !
That is the reason why I'd like to tell you that you should let users have the
choice.
For example, you could create a second human theme called "human orange" (or in
theme's details for menus and buttons), even if you keep something different
for the default artwork on Ubuntu. Why not ? This would satisfy everybody.
The second thing is about OOo's icons. Openoffice's 2.0.2 package (the one that
is distributed by Sun and contributors) let us choose the icon theme whatever
desktop we are using (even if it uses the correct icon theme for the correct
desktop).
Once again, even if it is a good thing that you keep gnome's integration, you
should let the user have the choice (crystal icon theme), as everybody is not
obliged to like it like that.
Thank you.
