<br>> Ah. It looks like they use a purple theme with a blue wallpaper and KDM,<br>> etc.<br>><br>> Anyway, using green as Xubuntu's color scheme isn't a bad idea, as long as<br>> those nasty pea soup greens are avoided. It could also facilitate a switch
<br>> from abstract wallpapers to some nature/landscape wallpapers, if anyone<br>> likes that idea.<br><br>Sorry to butt in, but this kind of discussion and random changes isn't, in<br>my opinion, very constructive. I must admit I don't love the current
<br>xubuntu's color scheme, and that it is hard to work with: blues are<br>generally sensitive to various artifacts of digital graphics, and the need<br>to keep it distinctive from the other "blue distros" seriously restricts
<br>the palette you can use. Also, you have a very limited choice of the<br>second color -- usually just grays. I know because I tried to make some<br>themes for xfce matching its colors and more or less failed.<br><br>Then again, changing it to random things just because someone thought it
<br>would be better doesn't sound convincing -- remember that once it's<br>changed, it won't probably change anymore later, because changing it too<br>often would be a stretch.<br><br>That's why I think that at least a half-finished project of new looks,
<br>including the palette, icons, splash, login screen and backdrop, and<br>probably also gtk and xfce4 themes, would help to decide on a chenge much<br>better. Later, this would have to also include website, cd cover and
<br>possibly styling of documentation and eventual promotional materials.<br><br>Of course I'm talking about a *sketch*, concept art, maybe some guidelines<br>and characteristic elements -- full project is probably too much effort to
<br>make it and then trash if it's not accepted.<br><br>--<br>Radomir `The Sheep' Dopieralski<br>() ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail<br>/\ <<a href="http://www.asciiribbon.org">www.asciiribbon.org</a>
