So here is my initial post on this subject again: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hey, I was just looking through the art list for once in a while again and i would like to suggest some ideas i have for fedora 11. Just to see if they are possible to get in or if they don't even make a chance. My idea for the general theme is to go back to the old fedora days. fedora 1, 2, 3 and 4 and base a theme on that style. Then that style has to be visible everywhere throughout fedora: - Grub - Boot - Splashes (kde, gnome etc...) - Window Decorations (reed WIN-DEC) - Button styles WIN-DEC: Fedora has Nodoka for a few releases now but everytime i see fedora again i feel like i want to go back to the old theme of the first four fedora releases. That theme wasn't bad and looked very good. I am actually now downloading Fedora Core 4 to see how all looked exactly. To refresh everyone's mind. here is a screenshot tour. http://bigmonkey.claudeplante.com/20070619/images/20070619_42.jpg http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=204&num=1 now i'm NOT suggesting to "re-use" that theme in the same style but just to create a new theme based on those colors. So what do you think about this? Is it worth starting to make mockups? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
