Sorry to butt in, but this kind of discussion and random changes isn't, in my opinion, very constructive. I must admit I don't love the current xubuntu's color scheme, and that it is hard to work with: blues are generally sensitive to various artifacts of digital graphics, and the need to keep it distinctive from the other "blue distros" seriously restricts the palette you can use. Also, you have a very limited choice of the second color -- usually just grays. I know because I tried to make some themes for xfce matching its colors and more or less failed. Then again, changing it to random things just because someone thought it would be better doesn't sound convincing -- remember that once it's changed, it won't probably change anymore later, because changing it too often would be a stretch. That's why I think that at least a half-finished project of new looks, including the palette, icons, splash, login screen and backdrop, and probably also gtk and xfce4 themes, would help to decide on a chenge much better. Later, this would have to also include website, cd cover and possibly styling of documentation and eventual promotional materials. Of course I'm talking about a *sketch*, concept art, maybe some guidelines and characteristic elements -- full project is probably too much effort to make it and then trash if it's not accepted. -- Radomir `The Sheep' Dopieralski () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ <www.asciiribbon.org> - against proprietary attachments -- xubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
