Here is a picture of what the theme looks like; http://dwabbott.com/downloads/gentoo-10.png Created attachment 203647 [details]
gnome-colors-5.3.ebuild
Here is a link to the /files for the updated Gentoo start-here icon and trash can http://dwabbott.com/gentoo-ten/likewhoa/files.tar.gz Here is a link to the window border and clearlooks theme; http://dwabbott.com/gentoo-ten/likewhoa/themes.tar.gz Purple-y, looks real nice :) I hate this association of purple as being the GNOME color. I suppose the GNOME team got assigned because I promised to help GNOME related stuff for the LiveDVD and this is the desired default branded theme and we should help package and maintain this. Is there an upstream for these themes beyond your copies? s/GNOME color/Gentoo color I now actually looked at the ebuild as well, and it has HOMEPAGE set for the upstream location already. Perhaps the package name should be "x11-themes/noble-icon-theme" or some such? Created attachment 203668 [details]
ebuild for the window border and clearlooks theme
it's nice :) thanks, here is the background until a better one pops up; http://gentoo-pr.org/downloads/gentoo10.png I asked sometime ago in tango mailing list about a tagoized Gentoo logo version, and Frédéric Bellaiche jindly did it :-) http://www.mail-archive.com/tango-artists@lists.freedesktop.org/msg00043.html that's awesome :) +1, the icons are great, do thank the author on our behalf :) Personally, I would prefer to modify a bit chosen colors for clearlooks-gentoo theme: - For tooltips I would prefer a much "brighter" color like #95ADCA , with its text in black - For selected items, I would prefer a color more near to blue than pink, like #826AE8 About icons, I would also prefer to see a "softer" color instead of current. Remember that experiments can be made easily with gnome-colors-src-5.3.tar.gz: http://gnome-colors.googlecode.com/files/gnome-colors-src-5.3.tar.gz In my case, I created "gnome-gentoo" based on "gnome-noble" with the following: Name=GNOME-Gentoo Distribution=gnome-colors LightFolderBase=#846bea LightBase=#b1a8d5 MediumBase=#59429a DarkStroke=#47367c Then, I run "make user-install-gnome-gentoo" and got new icons. This is only a suggestion, more experiments with different colors can be done with this :-) About metacity theme, have you think in "shiki-colors-stripped-metacity"? (from http://gnome-colors.googlecode.com/files/shiki-colors-4.5.tar.gz ) Created attachment 204334 [details]

This is my suggestion:
- An icon theme based in gnome-noble with small color modifications (needs gentoo tangoized icon to be added)
- As gtk theme, shiki-colors (clearlooks based one) with color modifications noted in previous comments
- Background was created by me this morning using gimp
- Metacity theme is Shiki-colors-stripped-metacity
wow :D I think that would be interesting to package gnome-colors but, maybe, gnome-colors-common should be splitted from the rest, then, there would be a gnome-colors-common ebuild , gnome-colors-gentoo.ebuild and the others (I am not sure if would be better to create gnome-colors-themes ebuild with the rest or one ebuild for each color :-/) Created attachment 204406 [details]
gnome-colors-common-5.3.ebuild
This can be a start point, works fine here for installing common files. Of course, I offer me as its maintainer if you want

Maybe x11-themes/gdm-themes-livecd could also be updated with a them like this based on new wallpapers ;-)
I have some doubts about how should I try to package Shiki-colors stuff: 1. Upstream shiki-colors includes 10 themes (including metacity, gtk+ and xfwm4 themes), anyway, all of them only need 1,2 MB of disk space when installed 2. From upstream tarball, only Shiki-Colors-Striped-Metacity (metacity theme) is needed to be used in conjunction with Shiki-Gentoo (a customized gtk+ theme based on Shiki-Noble) Then, following options come to my mind: 1. Package full shiki-colors package including Shiki-Gentoo 2. Package Shiki-Colors-Striped-Metacity and Shiki-Gentoo together in one package called "shiki-colors-gentoo" (or something else) 3. Like option "2" but splitting them in two ebuilds (for people that would want to use *striped* metacity theme without Shiki-Gentoo, even using really a bit of space :-/) What do you think? Please take care that Shiki-Gentoo would also include "index.theme" file, that would make it depend on proper icons, background, window border... , then it would RDEPEND at least on gnome-colors-gentoo and backgrounds (and maybe striped metacity theme if it's provided on a different package than the one providing Shiki-Gentoo) Thanks a lot The problem is that I generated background with 1280x1024 resolution, and, currently, people owns monitors with highers resolutions. I am trying to remember what exact variation I used for generating it with flame gimp plugin (also, it's random, then, I will be unable to regenerate exactly the same flame) I will do some tries. Only one question, until what day can I submit anything to here for getting it in 10.0 release? Thanks and regards OK, I have regenerated a similar set of backgrounds with different resolution, the problem is that I need some place where put the tarball with wallpapers :-| so are we still going with the attachments ? LiveDVD was already released, then, I thought that this was "OLD" About backgrounds, I really like chosen ones :-), and, about themes (icons and gtk+) I will try to attach them if possible Created attachment 208947 [details] gnome-gentoo.tar.bz2 These are the colorized icons, to be used once gnome-colors-common is installed (even better when installed with ebuild from comment #18 as it will also install gentoo tangoized icon) Created attachment 208950 [details]
Shiki-Gentoo.tar.bz2
And this is gtk+ theme, that looks better (from my point of view) when used with Shiki-colors-striped metacity theme from gnome-colors

I don't see it on this bug, just gnome-colors-common and gnome-colors which are both already emerged. There are already in main tree: x11-themes/gnome-colors-common -> Colorized icons shared between all gnome-colors iconsets x11-themes/gnome-colors-themes -> Some gnome-colors iconsets including a Gentoo one (In reply to comment #30) > There are already in main tree: > x11-themes/gnome-colors-common -> Colorized icons shared between all > gnome-colors iconsets > x11-themes/gnome-colors-themes -> Some gnome-colors iconsets including a Gentoo > one > Pacho, I can close this? The theme is in the tree. Re-reading original comment looks like this situation would be enough for you, then, ok :-) (regarding "branding" in gnome-icon-theme, please refer to bug 293309) |
