Hi,

I am new to this list and subscribed mostly because I posted a message to art-list recently [1] that contains things that should be discussed at desktop-list as well. It's about making default theme for fedora - that means making our gtk/qt(4) theme, metacity/kwm/emerald theme, notification-daemon theme and maybe more. It should be release independent. There are some questions that need to be answered first. I attach the original message for more info. I'd like to ask you for your opinion about it.

Thanks, Martin

Hi all,

I have a few questions/suggestions about Fedora release independent Artwork. Most notably gtk theme, metacity theme, kwm theme, qt(4) theme. One of the reasons I started the Nodoka [1] theme was an attempt to fill the gap we have - Fedora has not defined it's artwork so far. So there are some questions that needs to be answered and I hereby ask your opinion about them:

1. do we want a default Fedora artwork?
2. do we want to look KDE and GNOME artwork same/similar?
3. if we do want, who is to decide which one will it be?
4. is it good to make an n-round competition or just let something to

emerge from the wide community combined efforts? 5. is the art-list the proper for this discussion or some other lists needs to be included as well (e.g. fedora-desktop, fedora-devel)? 6. could it be considered as a 'feature'?

This is I guess now a artwork team decision. You might want to talk to KDE SIG and see if they like the idea and then find someone willing to do a QT/KDE theme.
