I object to that. kdegames-4.1.x has *beautiful* artwork :-).
We also have KHNS that makes it very easy to download and install themes
and other such material *in a distro-agnostic manner*. This benefits
everyone, not just Fedora. +1 for not being self-centered.
our office suites do not have any templates or cliparts worth
mention, no one creates any professional font and you have to pay
someone like Ascender every time you need one,
Maybe we should work on tools to easily integrate with Free clipart
databases? And Free font databases?
users do not use our
preferred formats and pester us for closed format support,
Just out of curiosity, how do you solve the chicken-and-egg problem
here? Namely, users already have media in closed formats (or, as in my
case, are stuck with devices that only grok closed formats).
our audio theming is in the
dark ages, our UI designers have no taste, etc etc
Again (and especially as one of the people that helped *code* the Oxygen
style), I object to that.
Themes that are tightly coupled with existing software are one thing
(and also tend not to be ridiculously large), especially upstream
packages along-side their software. Tossing gigabytes (or terabytes!)
worth of all sorts of multimedia over the fence "because we can" is another.
(To the list I sent you privately, you can also add that Fedora-branded
material is allowed.)
