I have quite good skill in playing musical instruments... but never composed anything - especially not desktop music. Fugue would be easier :-D But anyway, I think, for creating good music/sound you need not good software/hardware. Just pencil, paper, musical instrument, skill and decent microphone... Audacity can do the rest ;-) I hope we'll eventually find one to do the sound theme, but probably we should focus now rather on graphics related things...

In case of Firefox I started a theme some months ago, but I stopped doing it since I switched from firefox to epiphany, I was not much skilled in the theme creation (i.e. I was not well acquainted with the theme settings, subfolders, etc.), was a bit short of time, and Echo wasn't complete enough. I can post somewhere what I did so far, but the graphic part would need to be updated (to fit the current Echo, and I had it without shadows) and not all was done. If there is anyone interested just ask :) default, AFAIK). Another Firefox/OpenOffice wish, they don't exactly integrate as well with gtk; is there any way to fix that? And the integration would be even lower without the hard work done upstream by a number of Red Hat developers. The integration is better with every new release. I am hoping for the best. Yet meanwhile, if we create Fedora gtk theme (and if it would be chosen as default), we could do the firefox theme to fit the rest of Fedora as well (including widgets)... But it's a hack - i.e. if user switches to some other theme/icons, the firefox will remain same (one of the reasons I switched to epiphany).

Re: Fedora 8 theme requests
yea.. but than again.. what program can we use for that? 2007/7/4, Martin Sourada [EMAIL PROTECTED]: i'm willing sadly not capable. unless you/anyone else knows of a application here you can MAKE your own sounds. not just a piano but with all kind of effects and instruments. i don't know what program can do that for windows or linux (they exist.. i just don't know them). IMHO, it's not necessary to make effects. Music was meant from its beginning to symbolise actions/states/feelings - instrumental music. Its late fashion that it does it through effects/words. We could distinguish Fedora from other distros by making a sound theme that would be completely instrumental - no effects. That is possible yet hard - needs a lot of talent and a lot of invention. And for instrumental music linux have all we need.

But, I just went through the fedora lists and noticed list called fedora-music-list [1]. There were several times mentioned an app called ardour [2]. Looks promising, but I completely dunno how to work with jack audio, so I had no success running it (but I didn't tried much)...
