I know this is just my opinion, but I would say that the contrast might need
to be lowered a lot, as grey and orange are basically bound to contrast

I think we should use the SVG engine in future releases. It does need some
work, but that could be done for 8.10+. Anyway, what does everyone else
think?

I believe Murrine is the engine with the most possibility in this respect,
as Cimi has added (ablet extremely experimental) transparency support, and
it's known as being one of the faster (if not fastest) engines. Official
configurators for semitransparent GTK themes is nonexistent, but I'm sure

What do you mean with SVG engine? Pixmap gtk engine can already handle
svg images. In fact svg images do not have a visible advantage vs png
images with current stretching model.

Hi Jayson,
We all have different taste in design and graphics, but this is
definitely something I would NOT like Ubuntu to be. First, it doesn't
remind me of Ubuntu at all, it is grey, more like UbuntuStudio in a way.
Second, it is extremely dull, there are no gradients, everything is
plain an

After looking at some of the Mockups, I SURE have to agree with this
statement. I shurely hope Ubuntu doesn't look like Brown Vista all shiny

There is a GTK engine specially made for SVGs. I was just thinking this
could be used because we could make themes for several screen sizes.

Well, actually I don't like Vista's look, and I don't like Leopard's

Hi everyone - I'm new to the list but a fan of the Ubuntu project.
I have a degree in Fine Art from Stellenbosch in South Africa.

Thanks for the reply!
I agree, that this is so much about taste, as I find those themes you
mention even flatter, duller and more boring than Darkilouche :-)
This is more than an "I like this theme" kind of thing - this has to be a
theme that can be appreciated by a HUGE number of people, and h

No. Not everyone can have a say. Not regarding the default theme.

I apologize...
Nothing else will be said from me on the matter!

What Emrah Ünal is getting at, is that while most engines support the SVG
format, they can't yet make full use of them. It's like buying a
high-definition DVD player (or blu-ray, whatever) and watching it on a
regular TV - you have the potential, but you can't use it.
Specifically how it works, is
Looking over the mockups, it's easy to see what's getting popular, and what
the overall look should resemble; The only problem is, we're all making
these designs and unless the "perfect" design pops into place, none of our
designs will be the next Ubuntu theme - come 8.04 it will just be the same

That is the question we need to ask. Do we want to target noobs to linux or
the vets of linux? Maybe I'm wrong, but new linux and novice computer users
are typically enticed with eye candy. It's the veteran linux users that like
things functional and plain.
I would submit that we want to
Yes Thomas I agree with you that we should innovate and make something
really new and competitive. For those who want old-fashioned look can
switch themes as easy as 3 clicks away or even ask the user at install
time what theme he/she would like to use.
