Yeah, I know that many people think it’s a feature that we don’t have everything Debian-branded - some people might like to.

Recent blog posting with Fedora Core 6 artwork. They also have a larger section in their Wiki dedicated to artwork.

The AMD64 system I installed these days welcomed me with an unobtrusive Debian wallpaper and Gnome splash. Thats not bad, but not really different from other distributions. Actually blue is kind of Fedora-ish, IMHO. Ubuntu has this yellowish-coffe-chocolate-look some like and some hate. SuSE has this green of the chameleon. But what does Debian look like?

A long time ago I modified the color schemes of some of the GTK engines. I just noticed that these color schemes (e.g. CleanIce-Debian) still exist, however the “light” color still strikes me as odd. I still like the dark highlight color, although readability isn’t too good with dark fonts. DebianRed also still exists, and doesn’t use these rose “background” highlights, but white or grey. That is a bit better IMHO.

Anyway, maybe someone could pick one of the nicer GTK themes and update or fine-tune the color palettes. Or maybe come up with something completely new. “I miss the chicken” ;-)
