yet, when we have our theme in cement will be when were ready for it. When we have our interface standard, we will have the luxury of slowing down instead creating entire new themes every release. Without the extra overhead of building Emerald and GTK themes, the extra time we get could go towards skinning chess, and going into the application level of skinning. That's what apple is on now. They stopped making new styles (brushed, for example) and unified the themes. And now on individual applications they're polishing. Time Machine is the perfect example, of where a utilitarian program was made almost into art. In summary; What we need is that standard, once we have our identity we don't need to build it every release, and with the extra time we can move onto polish in the application level. -Ken Vermette -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Re: [ubuntu-art] Again, top-posting. (*sigh*)

the community, forces relocation and requires that everyone there be paid to be there. Even 2 artists at $10/hr for 8 hours a day would cost $160/day, $800 for a 5 day week, $4000 a month, or $48,000 per year. No self-respecting artist would work for that much, so they would have to be terrible artists to be that cheap. So suck it up, and unless you want to personally spend $48,000+ to not need to follow the top-posting rule... Just don't top post!!!
