Re: [Fwd: Re: Debian Ciel -- A Theme Proposal for Squeeze]

@Michael: Good idea, I'll do that today.

Regarding the Debian Ciel theme choice...

There is nothing technically wrong with Clearlooks, it's just that we've been looking at it for ages
(not only on Debian), so I thought some fresh air wouldn't be that bad.
As for the themes, well, I chose themes already available in the Squeeze repos, so I trust they had been
tested enough. Frankly, themes like MurrinaAquaIsh have been around since ages, so I doubt there really
are any issues with it. The Murrine engine is also a pretty conservative version and has been around
in Squeeze for very long IIRC. I have not seen any issues whatsoever. Also, Murrine is still actively developed
and very popular, which increases the need for people to report bugs on them (or at least that's my reasoning).

These are the only new dependencies:

of course, apart from the new packages the theme will produce. Mind you, the dependencies affect Gnome,
as well as Xfce and LXDE.

What I think needs discussion is changing the GNOME GTK+, window manager
and icon themes, possibly .  Not all themes are tested equally well
tested, and personally, I think it is rather a feature than a bug that
we ship with the default theme (Clearlooks, AFAIK).

Maybe it could be possible to provide a screenshot with the default
themes in contrast to the one above and point out which problems are
there and how they are fixed by the new themes?


Regards,

Michael
