I already sent an email to the guy, but realized we have other concerns too. For 14.04, the wallpaper was not just a wallpaper. It was a theme used for all our social channels. If we want to continue to have a generic theme, which we use for everything, I'm not sure a flame will do it. The flame could be a variant of it, but not the "it". Zak would have wanted to do a general theme, I'm sure. It's not totally needed, but it feels a lot more solid. I will need to consider this a bit, and if anyone has any ideas on generic theme concepts, please let me know. I would like to pursue it anyway. I might not be much more involved in artwork for the rest of this week though, so don't expect a lot of activity from me right away. I'm currently working on adding planned features to ubuntustudio-controls, so I will be busy with that. But, I will come back to this later! -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
