Hey there, and welcome.

Do you have a portfolio or gallery online of previous work you have done?

Cheers

Welcome Krzysztof.

Have you found things to help with? In the next few days I hope to
start posting visual design tasks to this list for people to help out
with.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Improving Access to Themes -- Helping Users Find What They Want

[Vesa Paatero]

Hi Krzysztof,

I meant: helping users find what they want as it pertains to themes (or 
the look and feel of the desktop and applications). So, that latter part 
of the title was a different wording to complement the first part of the 
title. Sorry if it was confusing, as if it were referring to a 
completely different topic.


There are many GTK themes out there, it's just that finding/accessing 
them could be made easier for newcomers.

Hi again,

I realized that ubuntu-devel-discuss is probably the best list for
this type of suggestions--so I'll go there but keep an eye on this
list for some time in case someone has a comment.

Take care,
Vesa

Hello everyone,

This message is about finding a practical solution for users
to find the themes they need and thereby take advantage of the
abundance of contributed artwork.

I came across this problem when I updated to (Ed)ubuntu 12.4:
By using the normal settings programs to configure the
desktop, I could only see four themes to select from, two of
which were high-contrast themes and the other two being Ubuntu
themes with orange activation colors.
  As I couldn't find a better solution then, I went to
tamper with the color settings of GTK and, after some late
evenings' work, managed to eradicate the oranges and bring
about a satisfying look & feel.

Having thought it over, I think the simplest way to help users
find different themes would be putting a good set of themes
into the Ubuntu Software Centre. In this 12.4 version I'm
using, Ubuntu Software Centre has a category named something
like "Themes and Customizations" (I'm using a translated
version so I don't know the exact name) but there were no
themes or themepacks to be found there.

I hope that the decision-makers of Ubuntu will acknowledge the
need for a rich selection of themes made readily available.
Better customizability would probably help people stay with
Ubuntu rather than switch to other official or unofficial
Ubuntu variants.

(As I have indicated, this writing is based on the situation
with Ubuntu/Edubuntu 12.4. Please pardon me if the problem has
already been improved for 12.10.)

Regards,
Vesa
