Yes, we can get it from there, but the highlight color is red. I'm fine
with that, but it would be nice if it was blue to fit our color scheme
better. :)

Yes, to get a custom version into Debian and Ubuntu would rather be an
aim for 17.04. But i understand we could package it in our own
repository, no?

Yes, (although, i've never seen a link to launchpad like that before..
X-D ) but the debian source is at a newer version. 2.6.1

Jonathan seems to need to set-up a machine first, i hope he will join-in
down the line once he is ready. However, Krytarik and I have been
looking into this the past few days. We gathered the source SVGs from
upstream to facilitate color-customization
https://github.com/numixproject/numix-gtk-theme/issues/508
and successfully made a script to convert the theme's colors and
re-render the required PNGs.

Krytarik asked me to push the custom theme to
lp:ubuntustudio-look/numix-blue-theme so that he could work on the
packaging into our repository. But i am stuck by my fear to mess-up the
ubuntustudio-look branch with my poor bzr skills.

Could you help me Ross?

This is what i have done so far:

- I pulled the branch with:
bzr branch lp:ubuntustudio-look

- I pulled the debian source of numix, and edited is as needed to turn
everything red into blue.

What i am stuck with is really a noob thing: i'm not sure how to push if
i want the theme to be a spearate branch...

i've been told (i think) by Krytarik that i could do:
'bzr push lp:~ubuntustudio-look/numix-theme-blue'
but i am affraid i might have misunderstood Krytarik's instructions and
since he is not available atm i'm asking here. The thing is that i don't
want the 'usr' and 'po' folders from ubuntustudio-look/trunk to be in
ubuntustudio-look/numix-theme-blue...

I hope i'm making sense and that we still have the time frame to do this.

Yours,
