I just did a big update on the IndustrialInspirate theme wiki page -
It now includes everything that is needed for it to be a very complete
and consistent theme. It just needs to be packaged
See:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTeam/IndustrialInspirate

For the information about the theme

Can anyone point me in the direction of some information on how to
package this up. Especially problematic I think will be the
qindustrial theme engine for KDE, which I can currently only find
source for (but builds fine on my Dapper box). I assume this kind of
thing will be low priority until Dapper+1 as it involves bug testing
of 'new' code, etc. However, the theme will still be very good without
it.

I will try to make a single 'theme' .tar.gz that includes the
industrial gtkrc, the icons and the metacity, but I don't know how to
go about including the Firefox, Evolution XMMS and GDM themes. Any
ideas?

I would appreciate a few comments on whether people think we should go
with the Dustry theme instead of Industrial. Notably, it has much
nicer scrollbars and radiobuttons. The _only_ reason I haven't chosen
this is that it uses 3 theme engines.

Any input is welcome.

However Firefox and OOo are perhaps the most high profile of the stock Ubuntu desktop. - But you get street-cred for saying they are "minority apps" ;-P You think they should be gdk. look bad, and be slow? Why are the 2 most high profile apps gdk, look bad, and slow? That's insane! They get the most complaints, and always have, so why haven't they been fixed, and come on over gtk? In that regard, yes, they are minority. No? Yes!
