At least for the next release we should try to come up with some "Debian branding". I tried to get this going before, but unfortunately I'm not an artist... Debian could really use some of these I think. Well, the gtk2 engine color schemes I did back then apparently are in: CleanIce-Debian, DebianRed (based on LighthouseBlue) But this doesn't make a big difference (especially not unless one of them is the default ;-) )

When I look at Ubuntu, one of the really big things is their look. This chocolate/coffee color together with the human-theme, it's great! (though I have only looked at screenshots up to now, I havn't tried it)

It would be cool if Debian itself had similar features. I'm always surprised how many people are willing to put up Debian Icons etc. to signal their support - I've been asked a couple of times about my Debian sticker on my laptop, where one could get them (I got mine from LinuxTag '03 for free, you rub them on and its just the swirl, no background, thanks again!)

Well, for sarge it probably is a bit late. But I think it would be cool to have a theme included matching the release (after all we don't release often) In this case, a military-look theme probably, but still focused around usability, no easy job, you really need good artists... For the next release it's probably easier - an etch theme. Could allow for really funny login screens etc. ;-)

Well, after all we have to get sarge out first... unfortunately, I have the impression that only few DD can actually help much (or know how to) When I look back to the BSP in Munich in April, I believe it was a complete loss of time on my behalf. Okay, not completely (I've since done more NMUs to the xchat package), but most of the FTBFS I NMUed back then are probably broken again. ;-)
