[ubuntu-art] orange
Hi, a different opinion about the orange thing from myself: i love it. Orange is fresh an light and fits perfectly with brown and dark-red colours. I love the orange tangerine and the orange human icons. They are so pretty different from other linux iconsets. Just my 2 cents...

Just my 2 cents... and it's not the first time we've seen orange on the gnome desktop at all. out of interest the old 'Gorilla' SVG theme was pretty popular and used orange heavily for file and folder properties on icons: http://librsvg.sourceforge.net/screenshots/gorilla.jpg that said, at the end of the day the goal shouldn't be to make a 'striking' desktop so much as one that is simultaneously easy to look at for long hours, has attention to detail when studied and is graphically logical the rest of the time. IMHO the atomic parts of the desktop as a graphical environment should be translucid, yet a pleasure to look at when so desired. confidence in a desktop environment is not pervaded with stylistic virtuosity so much as in it's reliable behavioural and graphical logic. as much as i find OSX tedious and frustrating from a useability perspective, it is graphically successful to these ends, in that it one is barely aware of the graphical particulars or stylistic disposition of the desktop in the course of using it. that said, i really don't think the world needs another blue desktop. my EUR00.02 julian -- __ _ ___ ___| |___ __| |_ _ __ __ _ _ _| |__ ___ (_-/ -_) / -_) _| _| '_ \/ _` | '_| / /(_- /__/\___|_\___\__|\__| .__/\__,_|_| |_\_\/__/ |_http://selectparks.net/~julian -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
[ubuntu-art] Orange
I just don't get it!Why not light brown and light green? I see whats going on here, since I have been following Ubuntu since Warty. You want to get peoples attention with these bright ugly colors, but guess what-you already have our attention. Please consider using light brown and light green for the default colors. Who would disagree with these colors?These are my reasons:1. Light brown and light Green is not Blue ;)2. Earthly colors and I do not think it would offend Ubuntu users3. Orange is not a universally liked colorI know I can change the theme to whatever color(s) I want, but I want Ubuntu to be the best and to be the best you have to look like the best.Thank you, Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min.

Thank you, I don't know how would that look with the ubuntulooks engine, besides, it's way to late to say that, I mean, most of the work has already been done in orange, to redo it would take way too much time, however I support the Ideas for dapper+1. To see how a brown and green theme would look take a look to the theme I'm using right now http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=37635. it's beautiful and looks really neat with tangerine. -- Javier Aravena C.
