GTK Themes

Albatross

Albatross is a theme derived from Alvaro (made by James Schriver, who also made most of the changes that brought to Albatross) and intended to be used as a default theme for Xubuntu Karmic. It uses dark grey panels, menus, window decorations and menu bars, with a light grey background and touches of light blue here and there. It is meant to be soft and yet to preserve a decent level of contrast.

To get this theme: bzr branch lp:xubuntu-artwork

Icon theme

Elementary Xubuntu

It looks like we're going to be using the Elementary icon theme. It's beautiful, but there are a few icons here and there that we want to modify, for practical or æsthetical reasons. Here is a non exhaustive list:

Icons to change
Icon name / group	Reason for change	Asked by	Importance
start-here	Obviously we want a mouse / xubuntu icon here	SiDi	High
ubiquity	Doesn't fit the rest, important because it's right on the desktop the first time a user boots Xubuntu.	VinNl	High
Terminal	That one looks very different depending on the size. Gnome-brave's one is slightly better ? The icon is too blurry on the window title bar.	SiDi + knome	High
media-*	https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryicons/+bug/437588	SiDi	High
media-playback-dynamic	This is a request for a new icon, for Exaile's dynamic mode	SiDi	High
Trash	Looks very plastic. Big preference for the gnome-brave / humanity ones but in blue	SiDi	High
preferences-desktop-theme	It looks weird. Not worse than many other icon themes, just weird	knome	High
stock_xfburn*	Some look outdated / pixellated, they MUST be redrawn	SiDi	High
input-keyboard	https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryicons/+bug/433254	SiDi	Avg
accessories-calculator	https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryicons/+bug/434863	SiDi	Avg
jockey-*	https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryicons/+bug/433223	SiDi	Low
mail-mark-junk	https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryicons/+bug/433238	SiDi	Low
openofficeorg3-*	https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryicons/+bug/433249	SiDi	Low
emblems	https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryicons/+bug/442153	SiDi	Low
applications-games	Doesn't look as beautiful as the others	knome*	Low
xfce4-mixer	It would be great to have an icon that looks more like a sound mixer	SiDi	Very Low
xfwm4	This icon is quite impersonal too, can we make it look prettier ?	SiDi	Very Low
image-x	Maybe different images instead of plain PNG/JPG text when previsualisation isn't available	knome*	Very low
call-stop	Looks a bit too shiny, and is too much on the bottom of the square (would prefer a diagonal one like call-start)	SiDi	Done
notification-*	We want to use the Human ones since they're complete, sober and monochromatic	SiDi	Done
