I was thinking we could add custom icons, window styles (qtcurve for max compatibility with gtk apps) a new color scheme, and custom widgets for the KDE desktop.
This is what I have currently

Although, that image has more.
I wouldn't deviate too much from the standard KDE look. Especially Oxygen is very good, well maintained and with oxygen-gtk integrates GTK apps perfectly (lots of improvements coming with 4.7). With Oxygen you benefit from the hard work of some incredibly good artists - they for example optimized the colors to not look crappy on many old-and-bad monitors. That was difficult work and something I'd rather not have to re-do. And think about graphics performance, usability, stuff like that. GNOME 3, meanwhile, also focusses heavily on a 'standard' look. And the same there goes for colors etc. We can and should of course have our own wallpaper, GRUB, boot-, login- and app splashes. Moreover, we could do as we did before with the Plasma theme - have a subtle variation, replacing the circles with something more opensuse-y. It's not my choice, obviously, but I'd vote against moving to a whole different theme and radically changing the look of KDE and GNOME. Both have a modern, well-thought out look. We have limited resources, let's focus on a good background, artwork for the DVD and cover, release pictures, things like that. I bet that'll be more than enough work already :D Cheers, Jos

Hi! I don't know if this has already been discussed and therefore is redundant, and I apologise in advance if that is the case, but I wanted to suggest that we base the artwork (esp., the wallpaper) of the release on the colour referred to by the release code-name. For 12.1 the code-name is "Asparagus" referring to the colour #87A96B [1].
Bye
That was already done with 11.4 (Celadon) :-P

That is a good idea. It makes me thing of how much green there will be on this one. Please let's do more than just change the wallpaper please :D Our openSUSE can use more green than a change of shirt.

Andi, what do you suggest for that? :)
