It doesn't seem like any of the designers on the design-team, however, really agreed with this at all from the previous thread. I just re-read the previous thread on this topic and I do not see any support from this team's side. The design team has enough time pressures on it wrt to theme as is. This puts an additional, difficult burden on us to get the theme out even sooner. If the Fedora KDE spin would like to branch off and take its own approach to the artwork and not use the design team's artwork, then that is a different conversation. If this involves additional effort on this already overloaded and understaffed team, though, then I feel this is not a good idea. Besides this, there are some fundamental issues with the proposal: - Are these themes going to match oxygen AND tango? - How is the production of these themes going to line up with X distro's release cycles? Who gets to be the one with the stale theme? - How do you produce a set of artwork that doesn't clash with X distro's individual branding styles?? - What kind of SLA does the KDE artist team assure us with this service? - How much say does the Fedora design team get in the wallpaper design?> ~m [1] http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2009/06/building-brand-together.html _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
