[opensuse-artwork] Improve LXDE's artwork.

Hi. I'd like to see LXDE's default artwork improved. I know that you can change it at any moment, but having a default nice and homogeneous theme is nice. The changes I propose are: - Change the default GTK+ theme: currently it is Clearlooks that is GTK2 only. GTK3 apps have a bare metal look. We could use Adwaita, that is GTK2 and GTK3, and it looks nice. - However, if we choose to do so, there is a problem with some applications that use Adwaita's dark theme as default, causing visual inconsistency (Totem, Cheese). We could create a forked Adwaita package (Adwaita-LXDE?) with /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0/gtk-dark.css removed to fix this. Maybe we could even modify some of the theme colors. For example, we could replace the default selection color from blue to green. - I think that we should not use textures for the panel. If you make the panel taller than the texture height it is repeated and looks ugly. What I do is to choose "Solid color (with opacity)", selecting as background color the background color of windows in Adwaita, and then I add a bit of transparency to distinguish it from the windows background color. - We can change the default Openbox theme. I did one that mimics Adwaita and gives visual consistency. You can see it here http://box-look.org/content/show.php/Adwaita-ob?content=162589. - The default icon theme looks nice, but we could choose another one, maybe Faenza. I've been working on the packages too. They are all built against GTK2 to avoid GTK3 related issues. There was a mix of packages, some of them built with GTK2 and some of them built GTK3, and I think that it is better to build them all using GTK2 or GTK3. Talking with one of the developers we concluded that it is better to stick to GTK2 at the moment. I put here some links for you to see the changes: 1. Default LXDE's look on openSUSE 13.1 http://susepaste.org/view/raw/82551363 2. LXDE's look (Clearlooks) after applying the updated packages from X11:lxde http://susepaste.org/view/raw/34231871 3. LXDE's look with default Adwaita's theme http://susepaste.org/view/raw/4316730 4. LXDE's look after the removal of gtk-dark.css in Adwaita's theme http://susepaste.org/view/raw/53109704 5. LXDE's final look without textures for the panel http://susepaste.org/view/raw/49952626 I'd like to hear comments from you.

[opensuse-artwork] Yast2-theme package
by Josef Reidinger 14 Mar '14

Hi, I am currently solving issue with yast2-theme for SLE and it will also affect yast2-theme-openSUSE, so I would like at first discuss problems and my proposed solutions. Please CC me if you answer as I am not subscribed to opensuse-artwork mailing list. 1) yast2-theme create link to opensuse yast icons to high-res directory - https://github.com/yast/yast-theme/blob/master/package/yast2-theme.spec#L112 It is problem because in SLE it also have links to opensuse, which is wrong. My proposed solution is to create two additional rpm spec files - yast2-theme-openSUSE.spec for yast2-theme-openSUSE including crystal and oxygen theme and yast2-theme-SLE.spec for SLE related theming and both contain links to proper directory and conflict each other. 2) yast2-x11 contain file for installation icewm style. It is problem as now SLE have more dark style, so it cause difference in this package, that is not intended to be used on for theming, only for X11 setup in installation. My proposed solution is after we solve 1) to move icewm conf file to yast2-theme-{openSUSE,SLE} and keep it separated. 3) yast2-theme for opensuse partially lives at https://github.com/yast/yast-theme and partially at https://github.com/openSUSE/branding/tree/13.2/yast I think it do not make sense to have it at two places and we should merge it. I propose to use yast-theme file as SLE already have all theming for installation and yast here and also we have automatic deployment here, so when you modify master, it automatic goes to opensuse. I can add people to have write permissions there.

Artwork team! If we can get conference-promotion banners in the sizes below, we can get them on lwn.net. Sooner is better ;-) Know that LWN's background is white so I suggest a white background to make them look nicely fitting in. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: oSC14 Date: Friday 07 March 2014, 07:47:27 From: Jake Edge <jake(a)lwn.net> To: jospoortvliet(a)gmail.com On Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:33:14 +0100 Jos Poortvliet wrote: > Yeap, it is.
