+<PRE>Le 03/06/2012 13:37, Wolfgang Bornath a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i> 2012/6/3 Max Quarterpleen&lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">bogusman222 at gmail.com</A>&gt;:
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> What kind of theme (wallpaper, icons, plymouth, splash screen, window
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> decorator, colors)?
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Yes.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> But specifically a desktop theme. Window decorater, colors.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Icons we're going to work on separately. Probably using application-original
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> icons, but new icons for the drakxtools applications.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Wallpaper will probably be a contest again, but we'll have to think about
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> the details a little better this time...
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Splash screen and Plymouth will just be an extension of the wallpaper, like
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> we did with Mga2.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> If it is the window decorator, personally i prefer the every DE original
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> choices.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I can understand that, but we are aiming for a unified look. Nothing will
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> stop you from changing it, this will just be the default.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> I think the distro is good to have its plymouth and splash screen , not
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> other modifications from upstream.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Please let users enjoy each Desktop flavors.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Yes, this again is something related with individual taste.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Many other distributions try to change looks, even functions of the
+</I>&gt;<i> original DE to have a unique desktop. But integrating the big 2 (KDE&amp;
+</I>&gt;<i> Gnome) into the distribution's own look and keep it as original as
+</I>&gt;<i> possible and then make it look good together - this is also a
+</I>&gt;<i> separator from those other distributions. A nice example:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> At Berlin Linuxtag exhibition a visitor looked at Mageia 2 KDE (I did
+</I>&gt;<i> a standard installation with nothing customized to my own preferences
+</I>&gt;<i> yet). He played with it for a while, especially with the KDE
+</I>&gt;<i> functions. Then he told us that in his opinion this is the best
+</I>&gt;<i> integration of KDE into a new distribution he has seen lately,
+</I>&gt;<i> especially the combination of the KDE looks with out corporate colors.
+</I>&gt;<i> The guy turned out to be the treasurer of the KDE project.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> This is what I meant - establishing a reputation of leaving the
+</I>&gt;<i> original as original as possible.
+</I>&gt;<i> This should at least taken into account: Do we really want our own theme?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Of course there's nothing against our own theme as additionsl option.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+Also I'd like to add that creating a brand new theme is *really* a long
+and hard task. One of the strong point of Mageia is also having a common
+theme for environnement which allows to have both Qt and gtk apps well
+integrated. Such choice should be done also together with environments
+maintainers
