What

We plan to have a complete community theme, suitable for inclusion into the repos as an alternative theme.

• This will be Ubuntu based.
• Should be complete in all areas
• Should follow Ubuntu colors loosely
  • Hopefully, we can have a different mood for each release.
  • Should not be a complete blue, silver, or over-glossed theme.

This should at least consist of

• A wallpaper, gnome splash, gdm theme.
• Hopefully, we can also do:
  • isolinux splash, usplash
  • Multiple wallpaperss, GTK+/Metacity/Emerald theme
    • Should we take advantage of the changing those colors in gnome-theme-properties or something akin to the gtk color chooser? (edits gtkrc)
    • This could also mean transparent png/svg wallpapers--with colors defined background color/gradient.
    • The above will come at a sacrifice to the mood/pallete/concept that we may want to set, however it is something that would enhance the ability for the theme to fit the user--something that may be fitting for an advanced desktop distro.
  • An Icon theme--if so, this probably won't completely change from release to release.
  • Other Desktop Environments.

Ideas, Concept, Motifs

• Some of these will have associative images as well.

• Feel free to attach mock palletes

  • It would be helpful if you could also describe your pallete, what sort of mood it gives and what you are trying to achieve.

Animal

Gutsy Gibbon

• To do with the spirit, and colors of the animal.

• Attributes

  • The gibbon is a great jumper, and a fast animal -- swinging up to 56km/h.
  • The gibbon is capable, their wrist being of a ball and socket, allowing movement on two axises.
  • Long arms, hands, and feet.
  • Small, Black Face
  • Some have:
    • A prominent throat sack.
    • Comical? White fur surrounding face. Large fur.

• Colors

  • Reddish grey-brown, white, and black.

Glossy Gnu?

• We could possibly do something with the almost-name, being an alternative theme.

Earthy

• Deep, warm tones
  • A welcoming environment
  • During all points we should absolutely avoid any closeness with fecal matter--brown can be a dangerous color

Welcoming

Humanity/Kindness

• Probably an overdone theme, and already central to Ubuntu... possibly redudant.

Icon Theme

• This one probably takes the most manpower to be comprehensive.
• It would be especially nice if this meshes very well with other common icons, such as program icons, that would not exist in our theme.

• If we had a lot of manpower, we could probably attempt to cover common applications as well

• We could possibly fill in Human instead--this will probably depend on the direction the community theme wants to take

• Should be relatively neutral--and fit well with general Ubuntu colors, as this will probably travel from release to release, from concept to concept.
