I read the proposal of a community theme that all of us can contribute to, ( <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2007-April/003858.html">https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2007-April/003858.html </a> ) and I think its a good idea. It'll be great to see what the community can do on our own, with our own concepts, etc. The goal is to create a complete community theme, that we can at least get into universe, and perhaps as an alternative. The plan is to target Gutsy, but we could target the next LTS release instead. Remember, that such an encompassing project can be broken up into small manageable bits, that we could all contribute to, little by little. Lets see how this evolves as we go on :) I've created a wiki page--where we can start defining our direction, and contributing concepts, etc. <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/CommunityTheme">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/CommunityTheme </a> We need people to express interest to get this going, so please, express your thoughts and contribute to the wiki! As an aside: My favorite earthy tone is that of rich red clay/mud.
