Color Choice
I heard over the mailing list that Human and Tangerine were going to be staying for 6.10, so I had to rethink my plan a little. Even though I reworked some of the Human icons into my new Frozen color scheme, that would be useless since we're keeping the current icons. So I needed 2 colors that not only went together nicely, but also worked well with the icons. My inspiration came from a very weird source...the front of my Network Router! It's Silver, and the lights are Green and Yellow!
If Orange, Silver, and Green looked good on a Router, it would be perfect on a desktop!
This idea also allows us to keep the current icons and branding, since they have Orange in them already, and since Orange is one of the 3 major colors, it's perfect!
The Pallete
Tropic Green: #39EB3C
Tropic Orange: #FFA600
Tropic Silver: #EDEDED
The GTK Theme
Even though it could still look good with Ubuntulooks, I've been experimenting with the new gFlat GTK Engine, it's a pretty neat ClearLooks based engine, and has alot of interesting options! It even has support for animations (something Ubuntulooks lacks, animated progress bars are the best cliche nowadays).
