Or the Ubuntu designers > requesting the UI to be mostly orange. Quite probably but then the Endless look and feel is quite different to the standard upstream gnome one. Similarly the Ubuntu one is quite a bit different to the upstream theme, even with the orange aside, yet Fedora some how gets questioned over the fact that we want some differentiation and get questioned over the fact that we even want to deviate over the wallpaper. So given those distributions change numerous other things more than a wallpaper or a watermark. I suspect they have less opinion about for a request for a watermark logo because they have other branding visible such as orange tints or permanent side bars. _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
