We plan to have a complete community theme, suitable for inclusion into the repos as an alternative theme. -- TroySobotka 2007-05-01 03:04:35 I would think with a decent level of participation and this early start GG is reasonable. Should be a complete theme, no glaring gaps. -- TroySobotka 2007-05-01 03:04:35 As an aside, there are no real 'loose' Ubuntu colours. Perhaps we could leave this sort of thing at a general 'warmish' feel? Not quite orange, not quite dark brown, but a pleasant palette selection somewhere in that vicinity. Note I said palette and not a monochrome mess. -- nothlit 2007-05-02 16:07:17 Basically, I meant it shouldn't completely contradict traditional Ubuntu colours, and was mostly aimed @ the icon theme. -- TroySobotka 2007-05-01 03:04:35 Let's worry about one release first please.
isolinux splash, -- TroySobotka 2007-05-01 03:04:35 Can someone please look into the details of making this work with the theme? Are there rules we need to follow? Does anyone have a doc link on this sort of thing? If not, we can only do what we know. -- TroySobotka 2007-05-01 03:04:35 I think delivering a solid theme should probably take precedent over customization. Although the idea of a completely translucent wallpaper is interesting, it is probably tough to reconcile it against the GDM for example. -- TroySobotka 2007-05-01 03:04:35 This is a massive undertaking. I would suggest that we should probably vote on an acceptable one already out in the wild that will work with our theme.

Attributes Colors -- nothlit 2007-05-02 02:15:20 For "gutsy", I'd like playful gibbon, eyes and its motion, and dynamic poses being the focus. However, looking at reference images, its vulnerable, shy, cute side comes through as well. We could then concentrate on the small face, cute eyes and almost sad expression, all dwarfed by its voluminous fur. I envision: clean, sandy/brown based white {fur}, with small touches of dark brown(/black/grey) {Dark Areas, in the fur, and exposed skin}. One thing I'd like very much to avoid is those dark colored gibbons--they're monotonous, not good for a ui nor very calming. -- nothlit 2007-05-02 02:28:28 These are some gibbon colors--not what I envision but some more general palettes, and a way to get a feel for gibbon colours.
If we had a lot of manpower, we could probably attempt to cover common applications as well Should be relatively neutral--and fit well with
I think we can start from my OranSun theme not delivered with feisty. It also used with some modification from Mirco MacSlow Muller -- Lizardking 2007-05-01 06:02:34 Adding to the Discussion
