Now seems to be the time that people are throwing ideas at the wall, seeing what will stick. My proposal is that we stick with what's already stuck. Despite the rough start, we've gotten *huge praise* for the artwork in 12.3, SO LETS FINISH IT: 1. Keep the core wallpaper design of 12.3. 2. Improve desktop integrations: 1. GNOME: flush out the time-sensitive wallpaper stack 2. KDE: Find/build a beautiful, functional KDM theme (or not...see 3). 3. E17: Wallpaper integration. 3. Unify our desktop experience: 1. Pick a unified desktop manager to use for *all the desktops*: SLiM, CDDM, LightDM, Entrance, etc... or GDM/KDM. Just one, though, that we can theme consistently. 2. Pick/build a unified icon theme to use for *all the desktops*: I don't care if its built on oxygen or gnome-icons, or back to Tango... but it ought to be beautiful, and at least somewhat *green*. 4. Improve supporting materials: since we won't be building everything from scratch we can focus a bit more on banners for social media, printables such as posters or banners in a variety of common sizes (and languages), etc. 5. Improve community engagement: Actually run, then collect and package, a selection of backgrounds from the community as supplemental artwork. That's all I've got. Just to iterate: I'm much rather see us put our efforts into refining a success than tossing it and starting over, just because that's what we usually do. -- James Mason SUSE Studio Developer openSUSE Member SUSE jmason@suse.com (P) +1 360 752 6707 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
