Human murrine removed?

[Jaroslav Šmíd]

Binary package hint: human-theme

I was using Human-Murrine from "human-theme" package in Ubuntu 8.04, but after today update there is no such theme. So Human-Clearlooks. If this is by mistake, fix it. If this is the intention, tell us why did you so.

[Cody A.W. Somerville (cody-somerville)]

This was intentional so I'm converting this to a question.

[Forlong (forlong)]

It was nice to have a choice, is there a reason it had to be removed?

[Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)]

I removed it because of the limited space on the CDs as well as the fact that we will work towards creating a new theme for +1 anyway. If there is enough space on the CDs perhaps we can include it if enough people want it in the default install.

[Forlong (forlong)]

How about making a separate package for the murrine-based version (for universe maybe)?

[Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)]

If we cannot include it in main then it should definitely be installable from universe. Now I just have to figure out how to do that :-) If anyone wants to help with the packaging effort feel free to step up!

I think it could be part of gtk2-engine-murrine package.

Limited space on the CDs?? Are you kidding? That theme has size of 7,3kB (+83kB engine)!

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

For that space we could add a bandwidth traffic shaper, so seriously,
size does count in kilobytes :)

I thought Hardy was going to move to murrine as the default engine - a decision I thought was a good one. If so, wouldn't human-murrine be the default theme?

[nakulpal (nakulpal)]

     Hardy Beta was one cd distrubution and i do not see it changing in hardy release candidate because no new packages have been added it is only bug fixes and polish . So please tell me what i am missing to see .
      Also Human Clearlooks size is 2.4 KB in tar.gz format and it is engine is installed by default as it is part of the base gnome package. ( i liked the clearlooks version more)
      So I do not see the size problem

       Also Your Second reason (work towards creating a new theme for +1 anyway) you do not drop what u have for something in future . Because there is no guarantee that it will happen who knows next release you will say do not worry Intrepid Ibex+1 will have compiz based theme so it was not worth it.
       From end user point of view sensible defaults and Gui are most important and these small and subtle things like theme make a great impact . Well biggest change in firefox 3 for user is its use gtk+
 widgets more then change in gecko or performance or memory leaks.
       Theme though small by size has the most impact because it ends up changing look of each and every app.

Hello all, some people filled a brainstorm idea for it, as Kenneth said "If there is enough space on the CDs perhaps we can include it if enough people want it in the default install.", so instead of protesting without any countable effect, or trying to search if this answer is a good answer or not, let's vote for or against it ! --> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/6277/

Have a nice evening :)

[Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)]

I have created a new Human-theme package which includes the newest version of the Human-Murrine gtkrc (it fixes a bug in the color chooser) and reintroduced the dependency on gtk2-engines-murrine. It should be hitting your computers in the next couple of days (ie. once it gets tested and uploaded).

Thanks Kenneth, you guys rock !

Could you bring back the nice orange glow when hovering on a button. I really liked how that looked.

[Bharadwaj Jaya (bharadwaj-j)]

+1 vote to arian. Even I really liked that effect very small but still
beautiful effect.
