Hi guys, It seems I had a bug of the list and received ~50 of your message in a single digest. Here's what I think of :
* The animated, "live" wallpaper : it'a good idea, as long as it doesn't use more than 5% of CPU or GPU (better), and if this is realized, we have to check if it's really that eye pleasant. Animation is cool, yes, but really unobtrusive. We could try to reproduce a feature of the Sony Ericsson <http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/mobilephones/overview/s500i?cc=fr&lc=en>S500I phone<http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/mobilephones/overview/s500i?cc=fr&lc=en>, wich changes its wallpaper along the day. My girlfriend has one, it's really beautiful, and not stressing at all. * Organisation : As you said, there's a great lack of organisation in this list. We don't have any art tracker or anything (what has be done of art.ubuntu.com, it's been months since I'me waiting?). But we have the Ubuntu Wiki, indeed, wich is actually a very good place to share ideas and show the progress of each team. * The theme selection at installation : I disagree, as others, the idea of asking wich theme to use, first because we want the installation to be the clearest as possible, simplest as possible, and even a tiny checkboxwould disturb the installation processus. Second, the theme we're going to realize will be so great nobody will change it :D The a first proposition for Intrepix : what about increasing the size of both gnome panels ? The default, lowest size is 24 pixels, and setting it at 32px produces a much pleasing effect. A pleasing desktop shouldn't force user to squint to see what's written. Those who have a bad vision would be glad. Technically, I don't know if this increase of panel size causes some problems with window display, if anybody can tell me more about this...And then, we should __definitely__ find a gnome panel background, or anything but delete this stupid grey color. Cheers.
