Re: [ubuntu-art] Wasp community theme
Wasp is extremely configurable, i'll change some defaults settings to limit damage I'll also rename Wasp to Wasp-Murrine as in community-themes package, this resolve a conflict with gnome-themes-more package when people install Wasp from gnome-look thanks for your attention 2010/3/3 Andrew SB a.star...@gmail.com: On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 5:56 AM, Lorem Ipsum lrm...@gmail.com wrote: Dear Ubuntu Artwork Team, I'm glad that you have put my theme (Wasp) in community-themes package but... Wasp is not a normal theme, in the way you have packaged it Firefox doesn't work properly and OOo doesn't work at all. Both apps need a script to patch them. I don't know how to solve this in a .deb package and this is the primary reason i've not yet created a PPA for Wasp If you have any suggestion please let me know Hi Lorem, I added Wasp to the package as we are coming up on the user interface deadline and wanted to make sure we included some new themes in the package. I assumed that by including the theme on the wiki in Artwork/Incoming/Lucid you were putting the theme up for inclusion. Unfortunately, the sort of things done in your install script aren't really some thing we can support in a distribution package. Though the problems that Wasp encounters are pretty common for darker themes. New Wave also has work arounds for some of these issues which we can't provide, but can be grabbed on GNOME-Look. I'm certainly willing to help you push any tweaks to the theme that you'd like to see into Lucid to help cope with these issues. If you feel that the user experience is so poor that it mis-characterizes your theme, I can pull it from the package if you prefer that. Let me know if there's any way that I can help.

Re: [ubuntu-art] New Identity
Considering some smart people are working on this; I dont see why so many people are getting up in a huff about this. I also heard that our dictator is also working with the design team and the interface, and if you cant trust him, who can you trust? I would assume that this is start of the rebranding and what we are seeing is going to be another steady evolution. -- Saleel -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Re: [ubuntu-art] New Identity
So people should agree with the designers that came up with it and not the designers that are specifically spelling out what's wrong with it?

I get the feeling that I will get planed here but the way I see it is that the design theme hasn't asked for input as they did for 9.10 boot. This would suggest to me that they have a plan that they are happy with, commenting or arguing which colors work/dont work; and the rather obnoxious gtk theme (personal opinion) is moot.

Re: [ubuntu-art] New Identity
I really hope that's not the case. If it is, it's awfully arrogant of them. I feel the theme is like anything else in a development release. First put out there for people to point out what works and what doesn't work so that it can be tweaked before the final version.

Re: [ubuntu-art] New Identity
I happen to like the new font and I wonder when/where I can get a copy. As far as theme and wallpaper goes.. one of the beauties of Linux in general is how configurable it is. I've not seen this new theme yet so I cannot comment. On Thu, 2010-03-04 at 17:38 -0500, Mark Curtis wrote: I really hope that's not the case. If it is, it's awfully arrogant of them.

By the way, windows buttons are on the right (tested ten minutes ago). As Mark Curtis pointed, the new themes are not ready yet...I think there will be lots of improvements.

[ubuntu-art] Metacity Button Order Changed
I noticed in today's upgrade (03/04) the order of the metacity's minimize and maximized buttons changed. In the old metacity the order was; minimize, maximize, close In the new metacity the order is: maximize, minimize, close Is this the desired effect or is this a bug? -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
