Bisigi Themes for GNOME Desktop
Bisigi Themes are a result of Bisigi Project, and are arguably some of the more attractive set of themes available for GNOME (one can disagree, because it is all about choices in the end). The aim of this project originally was to improve the visual appearance of Ubuntu. But since they are made for GNOME desktop they can work very well on any distribution that uses GNOME.
Major Objectives of Bisigi Project
- Making GNOME / ubuntu visually more attractive
- Making Gnome customization more accessible
- Doing promotion of Free Software and Participate to this ecosystem
Bisigi Themes Guidelines
- Submitting Several Atmospheres:
- All Bisigi themes should submit several atmospheres. Colors palettes must allows user to change his desktop atmosphere very quickly.
- Simplicity and Coherence:
- Created themes must be simple, coherent and homogeneous. Mainly based on optimized themes engines (for gtk) like murrine or clearlooks. It has to allow to design powerful themes.
- Ease of Installation and Update:
- Making themes available on a Launchpad repository to facilitate themes installation and update.
- Out of the Box:
- When a theme is installed, it must be directly usable on the default gnome desktop (without user intervention).
- Keeping Gnome Philosophy:
- Themes must follow Gnome philosophy. Guidelines of this page: http://www.gnome.org/about/ must be the basis of each theme creation.
