New guy on the block, take it as my presentation email. I doubt I'll be able to start helping for this cycle, but I'll try to give it a hand wherever I can. I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction in order to get started on this? Like an app to build your own theme? Btw... I'll try to don't top-post, but I think you guys should consider if it's really worth the rule (I'm not aware of the logic behind it, I guess it's because it's "easier" to follow the conversation, which is something arguable). Ok, neither I know how can I reply to an email that was sent to the list BEFORE I subscribed to it, so I'll try faking it, hope it works Julian, first of all, it's great to see guys like you (amazing projects) around here, and second... that wallpaper is brilliant! I would really like to see something along those lines on the default wallpaper, did you do it? Also, whoever is working on this Dust theme, maybe you should be careful on how much margin/padding the top/right panel has. I'll put two links to illustrate my point: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/DustTheme?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=ubuntudust.jpg https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/DustTheme?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=dust-color-1b.png The original mock-up had the close button nicely aligned with the corner of the window. The working theme didn't follow that and it looks a bit "messy". Apart from that, I think it can work very well. Just for the laughs (or hates), I'm right now using this theme: http://www.ubuntu-art.org/content/show.php/KDE4+Oxygen+new+port+for+GNOME?content=86653 Which I guess I'll keep using until something like Dust is available.

Re: [ubuntu-art] // wider opinion of Dust theme from Ubuntu users //
I am REALLY impressed that the new mockups seem to be taking into account llmitations demonstrated by the Aurora and Murrine implementations. Oh, and I too love the background. One of few ibex wallpapers that hasn't seemed cheesily obvious.
