They look great to me. Nice to see GNOME get some green. Sincerely, Bob Martens http://bobmartens.net @boblmartens On Jul 9, 2014, at 7:29 AM, Nenad Latinović <nenad@latinovic.info> wrote:

Guido, here's a link to a modified Adwaita I made. I'd be grateful if you check it out.

Thanks for your answer, Guido.
Sure thing. I'll post on gnome list too.
A few clearer points also:
-If our colorizing version of Adwaita would need mostly changing the color codes and changing checks and radios, I could do it. No prob's. -When i meant xfce-sque, i meant that elementary-xfce icons are made specifically for Xfce, with some Xfce-specific apps people rarely use (I don't know, gmusicbrowser and quodlibet come to mind first). I'll look into Inkscape. -Great about Xfwm, that's one less thing to outsource.
Thanks again.

Hey Guido and the rest of the team.
Sorry I haven't answered, I had a tough exam today, so i wasn't around too much these past few days.
So, I have a few questions and statements regarding it. - When you say application updates, do you mean from release to release (Isn't it like that, that apps don't upgrade, unless you do it manually yourself?)
I was talking about the GTK package, e.g. in a few months GTK 3.14.0 will be released, the openSUSE maintainers update the package and submit it to Factory which then likely breaks any third-party theme. So if we use a new default theme the (or better a few) maintainers of that theme need to stay on top of things, follow GTK3 releases and fix things up in a timely fashion. That is work which so far nobody stepped up to do and the main reason why GNOME and Xfce have sticked to the default theme.
- That's why I've been thinking about a theme that has serious longevity, for example greybird. Adwaita is even better (the gtk theme
I think maintaining a variation of Adwaita that changes the blue colors to the greenish tones from the new branding color scheme[*] might be a viable approach.

looks better than greybird imho), but we would need an xfwm theme to play nicely visually. For this portion, if we would go for Adwaita, I could 'hack' it (as I've already done while using Gnome). I mean,
I've created the current default xfwm theme "Kelabu" that is used with Adwaita, so I might be able to help creating a suitable xfwm theme.
- As for the current shade of green in the greybird mod i posted, i used the one that seemed to fit nicely with Faenza Mint. - And now when we're already at icons, what do you think about using maybe elementary-xfce, because it's the only xfce-centric theme i know, and most 'tangoesque' i know. Also there, what we would need is someone greening up the default folders. The rest could be left as-is, imho, as it's in many colors (depending on the apps). I was thinking
Actually there is no need for an "Xfce-centric theme", the current default icon theme provides a handful of Tango-ish icons specific to Xfce and inherits the rest from the gnome icon theme. So you could just create a new theme consisting only of the recolored folder icons and the icons in the openSUSE-Xfce icon theme and inherit all the rest from gnome (or a gnome-compatible theme).
about doing it the other day, but i've seen they're all .svg, and i'm not really good with inkscape. Maybe someone else reading this could give it a try?
Any other suggestions, thoughts on your part?
Maybe you could reach out to the GNOME team on the opensuse-gnome@ list? There are more GNOME than Xfce users and package maintainers so if we can combine the effort for a common GTK branding we might be able to get some more people involved. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
