Hello Dne Po 1. března 2010 18:56:46 Will Stephenson napsal(a):
I had an interesting conversation with the Oxygen team at Tokamak4 here last week. They are the guys who did the openSUSE Air branding for 11.2 as part of the upstream branding collaboration started by KDE.
I was asking them whether they'd like to do the 11.3 branding again and the answer was 'Just say the word.' but then we started talking about the colour. It seems that the design used in 11.3 was a real love it or hate it thing. The Oxygen guys pointed out to me that of all the primary colours, green is the one that LCD monitors have the hardest time representing accurately. If you look at any monitor gamut diagram, it's
I have webs with green themes and it is very different on almost any monitor, but I run openSUSE on old cheap laptop, middle class laptop and on cheap new monitor and it looks almost same. Might be there are tones, which are good everywhere. :-) I do not know.
always green that is weakest. The result is that greenish designs look great on the high end external monitors favoured by designers, digital photographers and gadget freaks like me, and look like many other things that are not great on lesser displays, which includes the majority of laptop displays. Other colours display much more reliably.
So how would you feel if we had a non-green release this time?
Why not, but I would for sure keep something like package with 11.2 theme to enable very quick and easy replacement of new theme (whatever it is) by "old good green". :-)
