Hi Nenad,
As Richard mentioned, I would avoid too much work which will very possibly require more work every release. If you were part of the upstream work and will be working on things anyway, I get the point but for now, without a promise from someone to keep this work up to date I wonder if changes things now only makes things harder in the future.
I don't know if I was clear enough, but it was meant more or less like a recoloring more than rebranding. Basically, recoloring the upstream (in this case, breeze). But we now come to this...----->
Right, I understand the idea and did not mean to totally put you off it :P I was just stating one opinion so the debate is/can/should/would still be open. My suggestion is to pick your battles well because we have limited resources. We need to plan properly over the long term. Building a brand requires, at least in some way, shape, or form, a strategy. This strategy should be reflected in the plan. Perhaps your idea is part of this plan. That would require two things: 1) It is an accepted part of the brand strategy by the community 2) The resources are planned to keep this up to date as needed at _any_time in the near to long term.
I'm not sure if making the folders green (on top of a green background with so many other green parts) is really good for the branding over-all.
And that's pretty much it :) That's why I was awaiting responses from someone who's more versed in the matter, as I'm not a designer, but just followed layman's logic: ubuntu's selection color = orange, folders = orange elementary's blue, folders = blue kde breeze also blue, breeze folders = blue /.../ So you catch why I figured it's the only logical thing to do :) But assuming is not knowing, so thanks for clearing it out :)
I'll seek what I can do further. Updating the wiki is never a bad chore :)
Kind regards, and sorry if i started a silly debate :) I would not say it is silly at all. I would say it is admirable that you've stepped up by identifying and taking care of a task you feel is important. All I want is for us to get the most bang for the buck, so to speak :-)
