Feature changed by: melchiaros melchiaros (melchiaros) Feature #312120, revision 8 Title: Make default KDE theme greenish, to match whole system openSUSE 12.1: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Dino E (d_e) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We really need to make default KDE theme green, to match whole system greenish appearance. It's involves just two steps: make default green icon set (like http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Oxygen-Refit+2+-+Green+Version?conten... (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Oxygen-Refit+2+-+Green+Version?conten...) ) and make default green colours (like http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Ordinary+Green?content=107944 (http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Ordinary+Green?content=107944) ) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It's kinda ugly when you have blue icons and colours in otherwise green system. Also blue is highly overused nowadays - remember default themes in windows xp-7, mac os x, and tons of other linux distributions. Discussion: #1: m s (miki100) (2011-03-25 18:04:22) Yes, that is great idea. I also wanted to submit it. Gnome version of openSUSE has its great Sonar theme, while KDE desktop always sticks with blue Oxygen. Changing colour scheme to this from description would be good (I also changed my color scheme to that), changing icons too. openSUSE was and will be green ;) Have a lot of fun! :) #2: Benjamin Misja (alvanx) (2011-03-28 12:57:03) Hi, I created Ordinary Green, and I fully agree that openSUSE shouldn't use the default blue KDE colors. (Thank you for taking my color scheme as an example! :-) ) For icons though, too much green might make it look unprofessional. There might be a point for using green instead of blue folder icons. Take Mint, for example: I think they (used to) go a little too far on greenifying everything (now they use Faenza for most things, which looks real nice). No problem with a few good accents of green on those awesome Oxygen icons though. #3: m s (miki100) (2011-06-06 15:35:27) I created another color scheme, which we could use in KDE. It is based on Sonar from GNOME.

Green and blue is as combination quite o.k. You know blue make + you be stay in freedom. Very good when the system is not so smooth + working. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312120
