That totally need refreshing. Now I only need somebody to push an image to the Usplash package, because I have no clue on how to do that. :)</blockquote><div> Heh, yeah I believe it was quite complicated - or at least, that you're only allowed a specific colour palette for the Usplash (though that was set to change, IIRC, if Red Hat's whatsitcalled, Plymouth or something, were to be adopted). GIYF. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> We're also updating the images in Yelp to be Xubuntu specific (<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-doc/+bug/332687" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-doc/+bug/332687</a>). </blockquote><div> Very cool :) </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Thanks for the update on GNOME-Colors, I'll subscribe to the bug to see what's going on (though it doesn't look as good as it might be). I have to admit that I don't know what you are meaning by the LiveCD logo</blockquote><div> I'm referring to the logo you see above the menu when you boot from CD (the menu that says "Try Xubuntu without installation", "Install Xubuntu", "Check CD for Defects", that stuff). </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">, but yes, we definitely want to change that too (because it's most possibly outdated anyway). I can get back to this once I can download images somehow quickly (I'm *still* connecting through Bluetooth+phone). Any other as good (and worse also :P) notes are still welcome. -- <div class="im">Pasi Lallinaho Xubuntu Marketing Lead Web-designer, graphic artist IRC: knome @ freenode </div><div><div></div><div class="h5">-- xubuntu-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> -- Vincent
