[ubuntu-art] meeting (again)

Fri Feb 15 13:46:23 GMT 2008

I would also participate. 3.30 am for me should be good.

I think that a good idea is to make minor changes to the color scheme of
the theme (no revolution but using similar palette..I have already
posted my concept of idea in previous my email ). And perhaps change
ubuntulooks engine with clearlooks engine.

It's very simple and not revolution the current theme (Gutsy). A new
idea of the theme could be made for Hardy + 1.

ps: sorry if my english isn't very good. I'm Italian and I'm learning
it. :-)
