Hi, During the IRC meeting last week, there was some long discussion about the default 11.4 theming, especially for the background. Let me try to summarize what was said: - the proposed background is similar to what you can see at http://karl-tux-stadt.de/ktuxs/?p=2677 (but with a different shade of green). - as a distribution, having a consistent look and feel is rather important: we do want to have the boot splash and the desktop background form a consistent set. - some people thought that the currently proposed background is too close to KDE: it's based on a background that got included in KDE SC 4.5, and that exists in distribution-branded versions (like the openSUSE one). See the posts starting in August at http://ivan.fomentgroup.org/blog/ - some people mentioned that upstream GNOME will ask distributions to use the upstream GNOME 3 theme, including the background for GNOME 3 (so not for 11.4, but 11.4+1). For reference, this is http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-themes-standard/plain/themes/Adwaita/backg... - some people mentioned that it's important to have an openSUSE-branded background for marketing. I think that covers most opinions that were raised. I'm explicitly not telling who said what, because I'll likely misquote people ;-) In the end, we didn't reach a conclusion. I'd like to hear what people think about the whole topic, so we can come with a decision from the whole team.
