The green is the chamelon!

I had a refreshing experience with past holiday that is really fitting to relate here.

When I booted the box, I was greeted by a very nice blue theme and a classic picture of a lake with reed lining the shore and a nicely done "SuSE 9.2" across the top.

David,

This came up some years ago and there is a 'fix' for this. Basically involves unarchving some file, replacing the graphic with one of your choice, then arching the file again.

Have a look at the Knowledge Database for SuSE.

I am going thru my papers here to see if I can find the reference - which I am pretty sure I printed out - but you may be able to find what you are looking in the Database.

I don't want a flame war, just an answer to whether there has been any thought to changing from the green color for openSuSE to something else? We have been green since what? ( 10.1 or 10.2 ) and blue before that. 10.0 looked fine in blue. I've always thought the green was kind of ugly, reminding me of Lima beans. Any other possible choice? Novell Red? Back to Blue? Anything?

I like the green, green is the color of SuSE. I don't see any reason the change - it has to be some color, and the user can easily change the color to whatever they want. Green is certainly better than turd-brown. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

While I've to agree with the ancient wisedom, I have to admit I feel the same about the green / brown matter, but that's certainly OT. However as long as I can remember (:p) the green chamaleon has been the mascot of openSUSE, thus I meanwhile associate openSUSE with a green color I think I'd be nice to somehow keep the green (even if it's just in the logo).

For the record, the chameleons I see in my back yard are as often grey-brown as they are green, depending where on the tree they are standing.
