<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"></div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">This is the plan that seems to be emerging from the art team discussions. </div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">It envisions the creation of three basic themes for dapper. </div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">1. glossy, elegant</div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">2. simple</div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">3. kind of flashy</div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"></div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">The plan also foresees the creation of a unified look and feel for Ubuntu and Kubuntu. </div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">It was suggested that since drapper would be supported for 3 years, it should be made as attractive as possible. </div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">There are three themes that have already been recommended for
dapper; they could be looked at the link below; everyone can add a theme to the list and when the deadline is up the community will pick one, which will be further polished and modified to meet the above requirements.</div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"></div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTeam/AdditionalThemes</div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"></div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">I think xubuntu too should adopt this approach and make the interface as unified as possible with the other two siblings.<br><br>Anyhow, these are the ideas that surfaced up from the intense two days discussions on the art-team mailing list. And with all probability, things will speed up even more, because Mr Shuttleworth has joined to the mailing list and become very active.<br><br>When I find out more, I will post it here.</div> <div
