Hello,
The first question that came to my mind when jimmac left was about who would be doing the artwork now? Like is it going to be one person or the artwork team as a whole?

Hi listmates,
The other day I installed openSUSE 11.3 on a laptop and I paid attention to the installer's artwork. It uses both GNOMEish and KDEish icons and a GNOMEish cursor theme. Wouldn't it look better with one set of icons that matches the style of the cursor theme (ie: Oxygen)?
I think the present cursor theme looks good too (btw, that is no a GNOME-cursor theme, it is part of the package desktop-data-openSUSE that contains "SUSE theme files for GNOME and KDE"). It is also used for example in ICEWM.
Consistency among icons is a definite requirement though, I agree. Whether we use GNOME-ish icons or oxygen icons, we should make sure we stick to one.
I think thats why Javier asked the question, to make that happen.
gnokii has already done some work on making the installer look better http://karl-tux- stadt.de/ktuxs/?p=2547 Any other thoughts on the installer's artwork?
Could you please point me to where I can get this (not just screenshots, but the actual stylesheet). I see nothing at http://gitorious.org/opensuse/art
I am not a fan of the (very) dark colours discussed here http://karl-tux-stadt.de/ktuxs/?p=2547 , but of course that might just be me. All the same, we should remember that the installer is the very first impression of openSUSE XX.X that forms in the mind and it is also not something that falls in the category of "Don't like it - so change it", unlike a desktop background. So whatever design choices are made they should be made very carefully, imo.
carefully means there are 50% that lave dark and 50% that love a lighter color? The installer have to be easy understable and helpful first and colors can support that. Thats all br gnokii
