Re: [ubuntu-art] Improving Access to Themes -- Helping Users Find What They Want
What do you mean by Helping Users Find What They Want 2013/1/18 Vesa Paatero vpaat...@lavabit.com Hi again, I realized that ubuntu-devel-discuss is probably the best list for this type of suggestions--so I'll go there but keep an eye on this list for some time in case someone has a comment. Take care, Vesa 18.01.2013 00:55, Vesa Paatero wrote: Hello everyone, This message is about finding a practical solution for users to find the themes they need and thereby take advantage of the abundance of contributed artwork. I came across this problem when I updated to (Ed)ubuntu 12.4: By using the normal settings programs to configure the desktop, I could only see four themes to select from, two of which were high-contrast themes and the other two being Ubuntu themes with orange activation colors. As I couldn't find a better solution then, I went to tamper with the color settings of GTK and, after some late evenings' work, managed to eradicate the oranges and bring about a satisfying look feel. Having thought it over, I think the simplest way to help users find different themes would be putting a good set of themes into the Ubuntu Software Centre. In this 12.4 version I'm using, Ubuntu Software Centre has a category named something like Themes and Customizations (I'm using a translated version so I don't know the exact name) but there were no themes or themepacks to be found there. I hope that the decision-makers of Ubuntu will acknowledge the need for a rich selection of themes made readily available. Better customizability would probably help people stay with Ubuntu rather than switch to other official or unofficial Ubuntu variants. (As I have indicated, this writing is based on the situation with Ubuntu/Edubuntu 12.4. Please pardon me if the problem has already been improved for 12.10.)

Re: [ubuntu-art] New icon needed: Software Updater
Airdrop idea rox. We should go this way. Imho those + or arrows are too usedup by others. I'll make some projects when i get home, which is about 3hours. Matthew Paul Thomas m...@canonical.com napisał(a): -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks We have a usability problem in Software Updater (formerly known as Update Manager). The problem is that when the updates dialog appears by itself, there's no visual clue that this is an official Ubuntu thing. In Ubuntu 12.10 and earlier, the icon is just a brown box with an orange arrow. And in Raring right now, it's an A with a progress bar and arrows around it - -- again, nothing obviously to do with Ubuntu, and a bit of a non sequitur too. So, it would help if we had a new icon, one which obviously communicates that these are official updates for Ubuntu. One possibility that I've suggested is an airdrop -- a wooden box being lowered by parachute, where either the box or the parachute (but not both!) features the Ubuntu logo. http://www.google.com/search?q=airdroptbm=isch Maybe you have other ideas too. Please post your proposals here, or DeviantArt, or Imgur, or wherever suits you, and link to them in a reply here. Let's get something really classy into Ubuntu 13.04.
