Re: [ubuntu-art] Include a GTK theme on Kubuntu?
The GTK applications should inherit the appearance of the KDE theme, AFAIK. The unified look is very important for a positive user experience. Do you have a problem with this gtk-qt engine? Martin 2006/7/14, Viper550 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I'm just wondering, why doesn't Kubuntu come with a GTK theme? People have been dissapointed because applications like Firefox for example look ugly because there are no GTK themes. Could we at least include 1 nice GTK theme that would go in with the environment just to make it look nicer?

Re: [ubuntu-art] Kubuntu.org look - really not a feast for the eyes
As for the articles contained therein: I think that the content is not really in our hands, nor should it be (or we'd call this list something other than -artwork) :-) I think the articles should be made by the doc team hand in hand with the artwork team. Web pages are not documentation, the visual appearance is as important as the content (IMO). Furthermore, the visual style and content cannot be made separately, because it complements one another (at least here, in a visual presentation of a product). Specific things that come to my mind when I look at the page:If I compare ubuntu,kubuntu,edubuntu and xubuntu web pages, xu,edu and ubuntu pages have a main page fully for the introduction to the distribution. Xu, edu and ubuntu do all have a "Related projects" box. Kubuntu does not. (OK, that's more about the content of the page.) The "konqis" image is in my opinion completely redundant. It looks more like an image from a fairy tale, not from a professional Linux distribution. Maybe a screenshot on the main page would be more informative? I think the titles and all font sizes could be adjusted to make the page more structrured. The number of visual elements is very small ( no coloured wrappers for content, titles as images etc.) , the white space looks more "empty" to me.

[ubuntu-art] Kubuntu.org look - really not a feast for the eyes
Hello everyone,I am not very happy with the appearance of http://www.kubuntu.org/ , especially comparing it to ubuntu.com. The main page is filled (flooded) with recent news (that aren't any good for new users), other pages are mostly text-heavy and without images. The page is very amateur-looking and confusing, especially for newcomers. (all IMO) I almost envy the nice and comprehensible appearance of ubuntu.com (and even those pages were discussed here, AFAIK). I think a lot more images and explaining screenshots should be put in kubuntu.org + more information for newcomers on the main page.What do you think? Is the pag good- or bad-looking? What improvements do you suggest?And who is responsible for the kubuntu.org look?Martin Böhm -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
