Hi,

I have a question for you. Will you be strictly using GNOME-SHELL or will the next TAILS include the Cinnamon panel? If that's the case, that could fix the GNOME-Panel extension and bring the DE look even more than Windows 10.

Ex. http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre2/171327-2.png

Cheers,

Hi,
Hi!

I've added another project member to Cc, since he's the one that (at
least previously) was responsible for this feature. Alan, feel free to
remove yourself if you are not interested any more!

Also, Christian, would you mind us continuing this email exchange on our
public mailing list, tails-dev@boum.org [1]? If so, feel free to respond
to this email to that address instead. If so, please don't trim any of
the content, so the context is kept intact.

[1] You can register here: https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev/
but you can also send emails there without registering -- we'll just
have to remember to keep you Cc:ed. :)

Thanks for your interest in the theme.
I'm very interested in the TAILS project, and upgrading to GNOME 3.14
wouldn't be too hard.
I am very glad to hear this, thanks a lot!

Note though, that there still is no collective decision on that your
theme is the way to go (only my opinion so far). However, I see little
reason for that when the alternative seems to be no Windows theme in
Tails at all, as it stands now. Also, note that we had decided on a
"Windows 8" theme, but honestly, why not 10?

Right now, I'm downloading Jesse to have a place where to test.
Great! As long as you stay stricly using packages from Debian Jessie, it
should fit us perfectly. Let us know of any packages dependencies for
your theme (e.g. I know it needs gtk2-engines-murrine but perhaps there
are more?)

So, yes, I'll be porting this theme to GNOME 3.14. I hope to finish it in
two or three days.
That's fast. :)

I'll probably just lack the GNOME extension from what I read here :
https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/update_camouflage_for_jessie/
Sorry, which "GNOME extension" are you referring to? GNOME Classic? If
so, note that there's no problem if your theme remains a GNOME Shell theme.

Actually, in our blueprint you only need to follow the "Goals and
non-Goals" section, and the "Requirements" section, but replace "Windows
8" with "Windows 10" (and you can ignore the point about Tails Greeter
-- if you make a normal GNOME theme, that will fit that need perfectly).

Next, would you also be interested in (potentially) further refining
your theme? I haven't really had the time to try your theme, and TBH my
only experience with Windows 10 is from screenshots, so I do not know
how closely they match. As you've seen among our goals, we want them to
match quite well, so if there are e.g. some Tails applications (in the
sys tray or task bar) whose icons look very out of place in Windows, the
icon theme may need to "borrow" more icons from Microsoft. :)

BTW, we track this issue as:

     https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/8064

But there's not much going on there since we've been stuck on the "ask
for help" stage for >half a year. You may want to register an account
there and at least announce your interest in helping us out.

Thanks for your interest!

Cheers!
