[ubuntu-art] Where's the official proposed theme idea?

[Ken Vermette]

I'll post a huge mockup with all elements within a couple hours (I'm
starting it after I finish this message), and I'll post the SVG source in a
link below it. Once it's completed, I'll also post links to everything to
the mailing list as well. That way we have a single image that can reference
all elements in a single place.

There's pressure for a black and orange theme, and several other colours
(Ubuntu Studio look-alike and a silver/pearl theme); if I can, I'll post
mockups for those tonight as well in a second wiki sub-section (it's enough
maintaining the main wiki with a single alternate set of colours, so a new
sub-section will help me keep updates cleaner and more regular). Also, since
it's only colour swaps for the most part, if and when alternate themes are
added, we'll be able to just swap out graphics and colours when the time
comes.

Is there a way that we can allow users to select colours in an SVG-based
theme? If there is, then I can make any changes necessary in order to give
users that option. Otherwise, I can just make several versions of the
colouring scheme. Also, should I get ahold of Ubuntu Studio and other
Ubuntu-based distros and see if they might want variations of the theme?

Anyway, after the update tell me if there's anything more anyone needs. I'll
send links to the content when I have it ready.
Thanks;
