</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Are there any complains about it or (better) ideas?

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Furthermore, I've created an extra wallpaper, which matchs the theme of our

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> P.S.: In the future we must also have a closer look to the other DEs (GNOME,

</I>&gt;<i> TeaAge, I really *really* like the darker one you have made. The one
</I>&gt;<i> that looks like the installer and whatnot was getting me down just
</I>&gt;<i> working on it (you may have noticed).
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Is everyone ok if we go for the dark one for dm splash and background?
</I>&gt;<i> If so, can you post the svg file and I can get the necessary bit
</I>&gt;<i> chopped up and added.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Either way, we can get the theme done and ready for release tomorrow
</I>&gt;<i> with only minor bug fixes left if any at all.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Gnome and LXDE havn't been forgotton, gnome just uses default bg and
</I>&gt;<i> spash was dropped by upstream. LXDE doesn't have a splash, and ahmad78
</I>&gt;<i> fixed the bg a while back.
</I>&gt;<i> Not sure on XFCE though, I haven't used it in years, will check to see
</I>&gt;<i> if it has a splash/needing anything done.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Cheers, Donald.
</I>&gt;<i>

Just installed XFCE, no splash and default bg is picked up fine, it
looks nice so all is good there. Thanks to however did the import.
