Hi, These look great, I should apologize I read the artwork email sometime over my christmas break but didn't get to a reply. One thing to maybe consider is the Navy blue on the wallpaper clashes a bit with the gray, maybe if the wallpaper had a gray background instead of a blue one or if the gray parts had a tinge of blue. Maybe something like this would work better as a wallpaper, I didn't have your exact theme so I took a quick guess on the gray. Also the link will expire in 6 days https://paste.opensuse.org/23514276 I look forward to working on something based off this idea for enlightenment Cheers Simon On 18/01/18 00:43, Stasiek wrote:
Hi,
I have been working on openSUSE branding for the past few months, and in the process, I have found there was something missing. I booted my trusty old 11.3 DVD with GNOME on top and it hit me. GNOME had an awesome green theme, so green it basically leaked out from both sides of the window, and I knew what I had to do.
I downloaded Arc (it has a really nice layout) and made a quick script to get all the colours out of it and started comparing it to the theme, a few nights passed and I had it done. I took some hints from the community, on Discord and on Reddit to see what's up with that, and feedback was generally positive. Modified the CSS a little because some things like fonts needed attention, the top bar on GNOME didn't have dynamic transparency, which is a great feature used too rarely. I also made sure it looked nice on XFCE, which I truly love. Thus, Geeko was born, for GTK based DEs with my love to openSUSE.

Then came a realization. Icons are as an important part of the theme as everything else -- that needed attention too. I really liked some older icons still preserved in Papirus-KDE hanging in OBS since 2016, from which was adopted some of those with the rest of icons from newer versions of Papirus and the Origami icon theme was born too, for KDE and GTK-based DEs with the same love. With __full__ support for YaST (although keep in mind that YaST doesn't support SVG icons so those has to be png first).

Both projects can coexist in a way which is beneficial to both of these base projects and vice versa. Most tweaks to Arc will work on Geeko and most tweaks to Geeko will work on Arc, the same with Origami and Papirus. In case of momentous messes such as new versions of GTK that will most likely break everything, whichever project manages to fix issues first can be used as a patch to another one without a problem, which usually happens between stable versions like 3.25 and 3.27, never landing on Tumbleweed, so it can be fixed beforehand (as such the only thing I can give KDE credit for in the case of theming, is it doesn't break so much as GTK).
Now is a great time to finally get them in Factory. My goals, of course, would be to make them the default themes on both Leap 15 and Tumbleweed, but considering the nature of, especially Tumbleweed, that might be hard to achieve. I think at least giving people the option to switch themes right from the get-go would be nice. Adwaita and XFCE themes are not cutting it for me, as well for a lot of people, as the theming community showed us already with how popular some themes are.
Quoting Richard: "Makes me want to run XFCE for the looks... which is not something I've said since like 2001" (It was most likely about the new splash screen, not exactly this but whatever)
