[ubuntu-studio-devel] Web design/theme contribution

Sat Oct 19 11:45:04 UTC 2019

Hi all,

I think Ubuntu Studio theme is now ready for review (apologize for 
slower progress recently).

Please check the latest demo update in http://ubuntustudio.playmain.com/
If you want to take a look at the dashboard, you could use your usual 
login account.

We have committed & pushed the theme code to Launchpad:
https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-web-staging/ubuntustudio-web-staging/+git/ubuntustudio-web-staging

Documentation
-------------
This doc contains a guide to set up the theme, required steps to 
replicate what in demo site, and also dev notes on how to modify the theme.

XML export file (from demo site)
---------------
This file useful to replicate what on the demo site. Just in case you 
need it.

Other assets files

It contains footer mixer image from Unsplash 
https://unsplash.com/photos/_mugHa5Fc3M, and twitter & facebook icons 
taken from their official brand guidelines. They are to be added in 
customizer. Feel free to replace it with a more properly licensed photo, 
though.

Just let me know if you need a hand setting up the website, or need some 
revisions.

Currently, the theme has 2 designs: homepage, and inner pages.
Inner pages are all looking the same, even though it allows for some 
limited customization (eg: full width/no sidebar)
So if you have any improvement ideas, for example, want to make a custom 
download page, we are happy to discuss.

Best regards,
Shinta
