Hi all, We need an icon to represent the software we get from our partners (like Opera, etc.), basically a commercial repository, in the add/remove software dialog. Anyone have a good idea? Thanks, Ken -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/lis

Hi everyone! I found an interesting black/orange theme (even if here it is a little too red), which has the great advantage to leave the text zones in light colors. This one would be particularly nice if the colors of controls/windows/system icons were parametrisable (see https://lists.ubuntu.

I also love the Fela Kuti Wallpaper, but I think we can get a better result with translucent backgroud (see remixes) because you don't get limited to one background colour and you can fit it with your favourite theme colors. See Remixes at Fela Kuti Alternate, I also post a SVG as example. https:
