New default theme for GNOME - Nodoka

Note.png
This is a page for the Nodoka Theme Feature

Summary

Make a new default theme for Fedora's Gnome.

Owner

  • Name: DanielGeiger, MartinSourada

Current status

  • Targeted release: Fedora 8
  • Last updated: 25. August 2007
  • Percentage of completion: 100%

Detailed Description

Define and implement a new look and feel of Fedora distribution (targeted on Gnome). It should be clean, easy for eyes and fit to the desktop. Must work nice with Echo Icon Theme.

Benefit to Fedora

Fedora has not yet defined it's look and feel, unlike some other distros we use mostly unchanged default themes from upstream. In reviews it's quite often noted that fedora has not unified look. That's what we need to fix. Fedora needs to define its look and feel and it must me coherent throughout whole desktop.

Scope

Requires creating our own gtk engine.

Test Plan

  1. Provide working RPMS ASAP.
  2. Gather feedback from users
  3. Test the finished engine on as much machines as possible

User Experience

  1. Users of the Fedora 8's Gnome should notice that they have new slick theme.

Dependencies

  • echo-icon-theme (in rawhide)
  • if echo is not ready in time it can be changed to mist (or whatever the default icons will be)

Contingency Plan

  • Stay with Clearlooks.

Documentation

  • currently none

Release Notes

None needed, IMHO.

Comments

  • Has this been signed off by the Art team? - BrianPepple
