Hi,

I had an interesting conversation with the Oxygen team at Tokamak4 here last week. They are the guys who did the openSUSE Air branding for 11.2 as part of the upstream branding collaboration started by KDE.

I was asking them whether they'd like to do the 11.3 branding again and the answer was 'Just say the word.' but then we started talking about the colour. It seems that the design used in 11.3 was a real love it or hate it thing. The Oxygen guys pointed out to me that of all the primary colours, green is the one that LCD monitors have the hardest time representing accurately. If you look at any monitor gamut diagram, it's always green that is weakest. The result is that greenish designs look great on the high end external monitors favoured by designers, digital photographers and gadget freaks like me, and look like many other things that are not great on lesser displays, which includes the majority of laptop displays. Other colours display much more reliably.

So how would you feel if we had a non-green release this time?

Will who ever said to Nuno make it green? I am sure jimmacs solar theme for the Gnome side isnt really green. And now the funny thing jimmac and me we are both not lucky with the differnce between the gnome side and the kde side in 11.2 Yeah after an (not really green) solar bootsplash comes nunos green air. Jimmac like to wait for 11.3 with what comes KDE out and go after that to make a theme and for this other things waiting like the theming for LXDM So maybe we should setup a little IRC meeting between all partys so that work can go on. br gnokii
