Oh, I just saw some more... I really, really like the blue modified tango icon theme at <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Artwork/Proposed/Misc">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Artwork/Proposed/Misc</a> . However, (my personal opinion though) I don't like grey user interfaces... I liked the colours of Clearlooks, however, I favour the Murrine engine for its speed. How about a Clearlooks based Murrina-theme? For example, there's MurrinaFancyClearlooks, at <a href="http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php?content=48681">http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php?content=48681</a> Or (shameless self-promotion) my MurrinaLooks theme at <a href="http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php?content=52752"> http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php?content=52752</a> (perhaps set the roundness to 0 because that also speeds it up a little bit).

I do like the wallpapers, both of them, Viper550's a tad better, but it could be a bit glossier. As for the text "Xubuntu" underneath the logo: it is done well IMHO, however, the colours don't really match, it's too light-blue... The text in the Usplash seems OK, though perhaps better if you make it blue letters with black shade? Hope that helps, Vincent<div> <div>On 21/02/07, Harold Aling <<a href="mailto:h.aling@home.nl" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> h.aling@home.nl</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Jelle de Jong wrote: > Hoi Jmak, > > Thank you for your work, really appreciated.

The splash theme is the first thing a user will see and it's not very 'artistic' at the moment... Take SAM Linux for example[1]. They have a really nice, unified, full screen and 'fresh' default theme/branding going on! From a graphical grub to the desktop in one unified color setting. "Press escape (or F2) for verbose mode" during boot is also something I really, really miss in *ubuntu. IMHO is this a necessity as it can automatically switch to verbose mode on error/warning...
