Union

Union is a theme crossbred between Basic Ideals and another (unnamed?) concept theme by floodcasso2. The name is derived from the fusion of the two themes.

Concept

Currently Union is a Compositing-enabled Murinne theme based on technology by Cimi, within the Gnome GTK+ framework. Graphics are created in SVG format, as to enable scaling when the technology becomes available.

There are no GTK themes available as of yet, the theme so far is only within concept stages. The theme goals are to:

  • Be extremely clean with minimal clutter; Avoid information overflow.
  • Use sharp graphics and smooth gradients; Make the theme clear-cut yet gentle.
  • Showcase a unique visual identity; People know Ubuntu when they see it.
  • Look solid, yet lightweight; People hate flimsy feeling windows and being weighed down.
  • Demonstrate the cutting edge without overstepping; Use as much technology we have, use very little we don't.
  • Display the graphical prowess of Linux; Some people still think we only have command-line.

Media

Palette

Pallet images will be available at a future date. All colours used are derived from the official Ubuntu palette.

Concept Art

The background of this theme is a union between two desktop wallpapers, they will be linked when the links are re-discovered, and instructions will be provided to re-create the wallpaper.

Comments

I really like it, though I think that the colors need to be tweaked a bit. I also noticed that this theme has the same idea as my theme unity. It might look good if basic ideas is combined with mine. - JM55: December 25, 2007 13:09 GMT
