It looks like you are trying to accomplish much the same as the Heat theme from Frédéric van der Essen... Ie. - a toned down grayish theme - which I totally acknowledge btw - I think it will have a huge user base. Much like the silver-version of XPs theme. Heat: http://www.mentalwarp.com/~fred/divers/ubuntu/Screenshot.png UL-graphite: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/pre1/36370-1.jpg I pasted Frédérics original Heat-mail at the bottom of this mail. So my suggestion: Javier and Frédéric - team up. Ping pong a bit, and put a page on the wiki. I really think a theme along those lines has a place in Dapper. It seems like there's plenty work for several people - I don't know about the gray Tango theme from Heat - but I bet it can use a lot of work :-) (I think it's great btw). And if you care for my 2 cents on this, I think it is a good idea to keep a slightly brownish feel to it, like Heat has. That way it will feel more Ubuntish. Just very subtle - don't over do it :D Cheers, Mikkel On Sun, 2006-03-12 at 03:04 +0100, Frédéric van der Essen wrote: > I just made a new theme.
