I just did a big update on the IndustrialInspirate theme wiki page -
It now includes everything that is needed for it to be a very complete
and consistent theme. It just needs to be packaged
See:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTeam/IndustrialInspirate

For the information about the theme

Can anyone point me in the direction of some information on how to
package this up. Especially problematic I think will be the
qindustrial theme engine for KDE, which I can currently only find
source for (but builds fine on my Dapper box). I assume this kind of
thing will be low priority until Dapper+1 as it involves bug testing
of 'new' code, etc. However, the theme will still be very good without
it.

I will try to make a single 'theme' .tar.gz that includes the
industrial gtkrc, the icons and the metacity, but I don't know how to
go about including the Firefox, Evolution XMMS and GDM themes. Any
ideas?

I would appreciate a few comments on whether people think we should go
with the Dustry theme instead of Industrial. Notably, it has much
nicer scrollbars and radiobuttons. The _only_ reason I haven't chosen
this is that it uses 3 theme engines.

Any input is welcome.
