The first two looks that I want to coordinate are the look of upstream - the look we are going to feature on gnome3.org when that launches. And the look of the distribution I care most about: Fedora. Hopefully that will provide a good basis to get other distributions to take take same approach, but I simply don't have a lot of influence over what Debian does. > > My proposal is is straightforward: > > > > Once you select a user and log in to GNOME, you get the GNOME default > > background.

(Note that the fallback mode of GNOME 3 which uses gnome-panel and metacity uses all the same components and configuration for background selection and display as the normal mode will have the same background.) - Owen _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
