[ubuntu-art] Plymouth splash screen is too flat
The current Plymouth boot screen is perfectly flat; it's exactly one color across it's entire height. This makes it look very ugly on some monitors. I've experimented with some other backgrounds, and I found that: - Adding a slight gradient helps immensely while still keeping the solid purple color. - Adding a gradient all the way to black at the bottom of the screen also looks better, but may be a bit extreme. - Using the default wallpaper looks best, but has contrast issues with the white text - Darkening the default wallpaper greatly increases contrast without majorly harming appearance Could the splash screen be changed to use some kind of non-flat background instead?

[ubuntu-art] New Communty Themes Wiki Page
As promised I started to to update the Community Themes wiki page. The current content is just to see how the page flows. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JohnBaer/SandBox I must warn you it is different as IMO the audience has changed and the requirements. New audience - I was pleasantly surprised to see this page linked to the installation of the community-themes package using the Software Center. IMO this is spot on! My vision of the page is informative to the user who is interested in installing the package (viz. new requirement). At the end of the page I envision a short walk through of the installation process targeted toward the new user. Issues: - What is the desired image sized of the screen shot? IMO one is enough. - Is the general format Ok? I removed the Artwork banner as it did not seem to fit. - The logo is my attempt to blend with the new Ubuntu look (e.g. fish) assuming the appearance of the wiki will not change. Other ideas are welcomed. If this designed is agreed, I hope the respective authors will supply screen shots and text. Otherwise I will do the best I can. : ) My desire is to have this complete and ready by the release candidate.
