Alright, so this was something I'd been meaning to do, but I was under some heavy work load from my non-openSUSE life ;-). I wanted to start discussions on the openSUSE Art mailing list for all of the proposed themes that are on the Pixel Pool page (en.opensuse.org/Artwork/Pixel_Pool).

I also want to take this opportunity to encourage anyone here who has any theme ideas for openSUSE 11.0 to check that page out, and give your idea. Mockups, scanned in paper sketches, even plaintext that gives your idea well will work. 11.0 is coming fast, so start working on your idea!

So, our first (and currently only) theme doesn't actually have a contributor name attached, but I believe it's an internal SUSE/ Novell guy ;-). It's called GreyGreen, and is available here: [http://en.opensuse.org/Artwork:Pixel_Pool/11.0/GreyGreen]

So let me throw my opinion out there: I really like it! I am a big fan of the darker graphics, but of course this is openSUSE so there has to be green. I think this proposed theme really works well. I especially like the installer look. I'd have to say, I like the 10.3 graphics, but these are really nice and look extremely professional!

That's not to say I don;t have any ideas for improvements. For one, the grey area of the installer has a wavy background to it, and I think that would be a good idea to put though all of the grey areas, especially the one on the login screen.

Other than that, an excellent theme and I'd like to see what others have to say.

Hej!

The mockups are "made by jimmac" (check out page history). In general I like them. Specially the grey-areas are cool! But I would replace the deep green in the background with the bamboo- green from the "Abord" button (installer). IMHO it would make it more friendly. The bamboo-green is like young grass in the spring. The deep-green is like old strong grass at a ending summer afternoon. I prefer the spring feeling :-) And I thing the dark green make it to "geeky". btw the grey "Help" button grey great! Maybe the rounded corners could be a bit less rounded(?).

Shall we post the YaST theme layouts stuff to http:// en.opensuse.org/Artwork:Pixel_Pool/11.0/ too? Last time I posted my mockup just to http://en.opensuse.org/Pimp_My_Installer.

Good work! :-)

Yeah, post the YaST ideas to the Pixel Pool page I imagine. Or you could just do both? -- Kevin "Yo" Dupuy | Public Mail: Hope for America: Ron Paul for President -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help@opensuse.org
