I could contribute some things, but I don't know about being a art manager.. <br><br>If you could put together a package of the images of a complete package, it would give us something to play around with, and I'm sure someone could come up with some themes, but it's not clear where these bitmaps reside. Also I could arrange to make blender blend files that would manage the compositing and texturing/lighting/rendering of the elements, which is something you can do with blender. You can run blender like a blackbox, providing input and generating output, I once wrangled and animation unattended from a Makefile. <br>
<br>I think any single theme, is a bad idea.. IF it's going to be about creativity, it should permit a wide range of themes, and these should be community created.. That means the elements should be accessible and selective by the community, as what good is a creative operating system if the elements of the interface are not being created by it's creative users. <br>

Hey Everyone,<br><br>I just wanted to raise the subject of Art development and management within Ubuntu Studio. As many of you may know, Cory Kontros has stepped away from the project for personal reasons and he had previously been spearheading the art portion of Ubuntu Studio. It's my opinion that Cory left us with a great default art set, but if it's left to sit still, chances are our users will find it stale soon enough. That's why I'd like to put a call out for a new art manager. The ideal candidate will not be placed directly into this position, she/he will have to show they deserve it. However, they should have knowledge of theming all aspects of the gnome desktop (including boot splash and GDM). Is anyone out there interested? I think the first step is to upload your work/modifications/etc... to either a new launchpad bzr or to the user art page in the wiki. Second step would be to talk to the dev team in either #ubuntustudio-devel or on the development mailing list.<br>
