Hi all, The art team has received a note from ubuntu developers with a request to complete all art production for edgy by August 31 (next Thursday). After this date only minor tweaks could be made as the release of edgy is getting closer and closer. So I thought it would make sense that we too might follow this schedule. As a result, I reviewed all the available artworks, taking into account the feedbacks and uploaded those that I thought should be considered as finals for edgy. You can take a look at them here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkXubuntuProduce In terms of look and feel, some parts of the interface has already been completed and some still needs to be dealt with; these include: 1) The Logo 2) The Gdm splash 3) The Gdm login screen 4) Wallpapers 5) Gtk theme 6) Icons 7) Usplash The first four items on the list are more less complete. But, the Gtk theme and the Icon set still haven't been tackled. The Usplash implementation still hasn't been decided by the development team either; but I expect some info on this soon. GTK THEME: Regarding the gtk theme: I've come across a beautiful one, called MurrinaGilouche that has been based on the Murrine engine. It is the fastest cairo base theme and would be awesome as a default for xubuntu edgy. Please try it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and give feedback. The engine still not in the repositories, but Mr Shuttleworth said that it would be there soon. Until then, you can download the Murrina engine from here: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=42755 and the corresponding gtk theme from here; http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=44510 ICONS: We have Tango. Not very elegant but one of the most complete icon set available for Linux. Mr Shuttleworth hates it. If anyone has better icon idea please indicate. By the way, the new touched up gnome icons look very nice, maybe we can consider using them. I don't know for sure that the set is complete or still a work is progress. I have the feeling that it is complete and will be released with the newest Gmome in September. Does anyone have more info on this? Anyhow, here is a sample: http://www.builderau.com.au/program/linux/soa/Gnome_2_16_Preview/0,39028297,39269243,00.htm That's it for now. Please let me know what you think. J.
