Create a less "fancy" theme

[Alessio Gaeta]

Hello,
let's start saying thank you for your work.

Now, I'd suggest to create a (much...) simpler theme for UGR. Gnome is simplicity and elegance (and Gnome user love that), so please, I hope you will rethink UGR branding accordingly. Current theme is a bit too... "screaming" (think to a tuned car, and you'll get what I mean...). See what Ubuntu and Fedora do, I think is the right track.

To be clear: I don't want to be unrespectful, that is only my point of view.

Thank you again.

Yeah. I agree. I do suggest that you redownload it, since an older theme might have been included in the release set you got. I'll ask the guy who did the background for it to do something a tad more subtle.

By the way, we have a theme that is just the ugr background from the main theme, and nothing more. You can install and use this by running:
sudo apt-get install plymouth-theme-ugr-logo
plymouth-set-default-theme --list

We shold get a theme that is just a small/ simple ugr logo and the progress bar.

And a more subtle one has come: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ugr-meta/+bug/778065/+attachment/2137229/+files/ugr-clean-plymouth1.png (Thanks Daniel!)

I think we should use this as our wallpaper from now on.

Does the new theme work?

[JC Hulce (soaringsky)]

It works and it is very nice. I just need to finish testing the other parts of the latest plymouth theme builds, then we can copy it over to main.

[JC Hulce (soaringsky)]

This went into main a long time ago. closing this
