Now that this is branched, would it be a good time to try putting Industrial in?
It could be interesting.
Anyway, it's definitely the time for discussion as to what is included for 2.12. We need discussion on this list rather than letting people make a lot of unhelpful noise on d-d-l.
Well, just a brainstorming of long and short term tasks: 1. put Clearlooks engine in gtk-engines, enabling progress bar animation :-)
Clearlooks is now in gtk-engines. Progress bar animation won't be enabled by default - it's a bit of a hack.
2. use a well-fitted-for-l10n/i18n name for Clearlooks entry in
theme selector capplet
3. remove some icon option from gnome-themes (or at least remove
gnome-fs-regular image keeping only the folder icon: see for
example Crux)
A good idea, and we also need to find some critical images now like directory accept. Taking Crux as an example, I was going to e-mail the original author to find out if they where able to do some more folder icons, but it's possible they may not be interested.
4. provide 3 control options for each engine; i.e. Simple-Green,
Simple-Blue, and Simple-Red so users will have the ability to
change the color scheme of their desktops keeping the
appearance. Maybe the same color scheme for each provided
engine.
Not so sure about this - might add too much clutter. Personally I'd like to see a little app to do this. I'm already looking into doing this with a few other people.
5. add a full icon theme, maybe something breaking the GNOME
palette and "soft" like Aqua or Crystal. Of course this means
provide a LOT of pixmaps.
Aqua/Crystal, probably not. Aqua is Apple's copyright, and Crystal is too much associated with KDE. However, there are a number of pretty complete icon themes starting to emerge, so would be good to look into these, if not for gnome-themes, then for gnome-themes-extras.
6. add a "Kids" theme, something attractive for 8 years old
users ;-) Do you remember Copland screenshots?
Sounds a nice idea, what about using a theme using the Gartoon icon theme?
7. ask theme creators to avoid inclusion of stock icons in gtkrc
Yeah I think this is pretty much agreed. I've been working with the Gartoon author to get this done, but it doesn't seem to be straight forward.
8. port accessibility icon themes from gtkrc to icon theme
Good idea - I'll have a look into this.
9. convert high contrast icons to SVG (jimmac should have some of
those icons yet ready)
10. include some gtk+ stock icons in g-i-t (see
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167446 )
11. maybe spit g-t in g-t-pleasure and g-t-accessibility
I don't think we want any more splitting. We need to concentrate on quality rather than quantity.
12. add Industrial cursor theme to g-i-t and enable it in /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/cursor_theme Gconf key 13. add a gnome-fs-computer icon in g-i-t. Currently we are using gnome-fs-client for Computer desktop icon: this is bad.
Hopefully jimmac will have some answers for the others :-)
