I'm trying to make something different than "i like it" as MD suggested it in her mail yesterday [1]. * About the wallpaper The impressions it conveys to me is that everything is going higher. All the elements that compose our logo are going higher. As they all represent freedom and community, it makes free software in general going higher and as a consequence the use we can make of a computer is improving thanks to foss. Going higher is a positive direction (even if i don't believe in any god) it seems god may be above us. Freedom could be linked as well as something pure then. I'm a bit sad with this "fedora" that seems stuck on earth. Maybe it could try to reach some sky as well. * About Metacity Theme and GTK+ Theme I feel very strange about flatness. It seems that windows are only one piece of everything, whereas there are different elements that compose a nautilus windows (title bar, menu bar etc.) About the top right hand corner buttons, the fact they do not convey the actions they are aimed at will be very annoying for people who are not used to a computer. * Bootsplash Concept It seems to be the ufo of this theme. Even if it is pure, as there are nothing but Fedora on it, it is the same Fedora stuck to earth that all his friends that were going higher in the wallpaper abandoned there. Pureness must then not rhyme with emptiness. I feel that pureness is well conveyed with no "bug" on a painting, no shortcomings (perfect light - no shadow - bright and sharp colours for example) Cheers, hope this helps.
