Re: [ubuntu-art] The Zen of Color - painting in the dark.
Hello, Just to mention it, for the theme makers here, there is an excellent application for getting graceful colour schemes : Agave. By the way, I suppose a workaround for your idea would be to use scripts similar to theirs, inside of the GTK+ theme's gtkrc (if possible of course).

[ubuntu-art] The Zen of Color - painting in the dark.
I have also been wondering about color choices and I then realized it does not matter. This site is web focused but still relevant, http://www.websiteoptimization.com/speed/tweak/color-harmony/ The thing to note is that the exact colors matter less that the relationship between colors because the set can be moved around in color space while retaining the relationships between the colors. The simplest example is the the color inversion where the set is rotated 180 degrees around the color wheel. Depending on the tools you use and how you manage your artwork it can be easy to make such shifts to accommodate color (art direction) decisions that have yet to be made (painting in the dark). A style sheet for SVG artwork is one obvious way of having such easily adjusted color schemes. In GIMP you can collect your colors into layers. I've mentioned this before in relation to to the automatic generation of high and low contrast themes, but it also applies to any theme design process. I'd like to see this methodology built into gnome one day so the user can dial up their own custom color variant of any theme. This is also an accessibility issue and sight and color impaired users have special requirements when it comes to themes but these needs can be empirically described and the required color space transforms applied to any well designed theme. N.B. there is one area where hue shifts can't be large without changing the meaning of the artwork. e.g. a warning icon using red can have it's meaning inverted if the color is shifted to green. In this case some colors need to be collected into a group of protected "semantic colors". -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Just in case you haven't got the message from the other replies - this team and this list will not be making the decisions and probably will not be making the theme. We are a group of people who work on _additional_ themes to the default one, so we don't have a call on the decisions. Hope that clears things up. Get going on some cool things, and if you get something of a high standard and get it packaged it wil be considered as an alternative theme.

[ubuntu-art] Ubuntu t-shirts printing
Hi, I need some opinions and preferably an official answer (from a canonical insider). We got in touch with a local small company which agreed to offer for our loco print and logistic services without any obligations and extra costs. The proposed t-shirt design is this one http://www.tu.ro/tricouri/tricou-ubuntu.html My question is the following: "Can we use the ubuntu logo and name in making such prints. Are we following the guidelines?" I don't want any troubles after the services will be announced officially in our community so I should better check everything before we do anything wrong. I mush note that the company has nothing to do with the loco, none of our members is somehow related with tu.ro and they not ask for any extra costs (maybe they will even put the price with 5-10% cheaper). The project was intended to get the community to the next level, allowing us to promote Ubuntu even wider. >From us, the only thing is required is at least a photo and a link to the above webpage, hosted on their servers. The link will be placed near the link to the official shop.canonical.com. That's all. Thanks in advance.

Other options will be considered means just that. It does not include a decision, not even one to ditch brown at all. But it is about what the people at Canonical might do for the default presentation.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Are we ditching Orange/Brown for Karmic?
nowhere is written - brown is to be killed ;) It will not serve to anyone to let away a point that give a particular touch to Ubuntu { but also brown & Co was too heavy used on everything - a bit over the limits in my oppinion } Mark think is better to ad some life and joy in the Desktop area. Brown it could be combined with very well blue or green OR blue and green this way the mother earth will got some sky & grass. globally - impression will be stronger using 3 colors for example instead of just 1( with some nuances ).
