Hi. I'd like to see LXDE's default artwork improved. I know that you can change it at any moment, but having a default nice and homogeneous theme is nice. The changes I propose are: - Change the default GTK+ theme: currently it is Clearlooks that is GTK2 only. GTK3 apps have a bare metal look. We could use Adwaita, that is GTK2 and GTK3, and it looks nice. - However, if we choose to do so, there is a problem with some applications that use Adwaita's dark theme as default, causing visual inconsistency (Totem, Cheese). We could create a forked Adwaita package (Adwaita-LXDE?) with /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0/gtk-dark.css removed to fix this. Maybe we could even modify some of the theme colors. For example, we could replace the default selection color from blue to green. - I think that we should not use textures for the panel. If you make the panel taller than the texture height it is repeated and looks ugly. What I do is to choose "Solid color (with opacity)", selecting as background color the background color of windows in Adwaita, and then I add a bit of transparency to distinguish it from the windows background color. - We can change the default Openbox theme. I did one that mimics Adwaita and gives visual consistency. You can see it here http://box-look.org/content/show.php/Adwaita-ob?content=162589. - The default icon theme looks nice, but we could choose another one, maybe Faenza. I've been working on the packages too. They are all built against GTK2 to avoid GTK3 related issues. There was a mix of packages, some of them built with GTK2 and some of them built GTK3, and I think that it is better to build them all using GTK2 or GTK3. Talking with one of the developers we concluded that it is better to stick to GTK2 at the moment. I put here some links for you to see the changes: 1. Default LXDE's look on openSUSE 13.1 http://susepaste.org/view/raw/82551363 2. LXDE's look (Clearlooks) after applying the updated packages from X11:lxde http://susepaste.org/view/raw/34231871 3. LXDE's look with default Adwaita's theme http://susepaste.org/view/raw/4316730 4. LXDE's look after the removal of gtk-dark.css in Adwaita's theme http://susepaste.org/view/raw/53109704 5. LXDE's final look without textures for the panel http://susepaste.org/view/raw/49952626 I'd like to hear comments from you.
