Hey everyone!
Now that 13.1 is out of the oven, happy release everyone!
I wanted to propose some changes for 13.2. Since the dark theme created by our contributors has gained some good popularity among the community and reviewers, I think it is not too far fetched to propose to “keep” this dark theme for upcoming versions of openSUSE. I would say at least through the 13 series and only make a major change to it from version 14 on. This would give us a really long tome to mature the theme even further, theme other elements of the distribution that need it and keep consistency with our users.
Here is a tentative list of what changes we could help make for version 13.2
- Revamp vine wallpaper (Make a new version but keeping the same vine idea from 12.3 and 13.1) Still waiting for proposals
- Change default font (KDE and Gnome) to Open Sans (a great and very complete font family very readable) Initial contacts on this but nothing concrete yet
- Add “New” vine wallpaper to alternative desktops - Finish complementary wallpaper collection package Done, sources are on git
- Start the creation (integration if time permits) of a “light” version of the KDE plasma theme I asked shumski for his dark plasma theme version and realized that the work of turning a theme around in KDE is a pain. Everything is disjointed and need to basically start a new theme all around. I made a plasma theme long ago and it needs maintenance. What do you think we use an option like this (first one is not mine)
http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/?content=148314 Or http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/anditosan/Desktop2_006.png Rather than start a new theme.
- Create a matching dark version of a Gnome Shell theme somewhat matching KDE’s dark plasma theme (will have to investigate this one and learn it)
Marguerite is currently porting a gnome3 theme for this
Reasons
It is always a good question to ask why the changes are being proposed. I would say, these changes push a little forward into making openSUSE extra singular and also look similar, by default, across different desktop flavors.
I invite our group to make suggestions and set ourselves goals for 13.2.
Thank you!
