Thanks to all, it makes me happy to contribute. I am putting together a "HowTo" draw it in Xara so that it will be open for everyone.

Edit
Like the new avatar cowboy

Thanks, you did well, started a new thread concerning Xara, will need your input there if you dont mind. Been working with Gimp more, still not as fond as other programs, but that is due to the fact, still a little lost using it. Have a nice one.

Like the idea of the Xara thread. Not sure what to do with the "HowTo" I am working on, only halfway through it and have 13 screen shots, so I think it will be to big for a post. Any suggestions..... Won't be finished for a while as I am busy with other stuff this morning (6.45am here). Any way heres the logo and wallpaper TheeMahn asked for - not sure about the text - What do you think?

I am fairly certain you will enjoy this... I took your "wallpaper" and made it into a USplash, I will make adjustments to the throbber before release. Even as it sits it does look pretty tight.

To use it... open startup manager(system>>administration>>startup-manager), set your max display resolution, text can be selected up to you this will tell you what it is doing as it boots. Goto appearance tab go down to when it says manage usplash themes select this file and select it from the list click ok, reboot and enjoy!!!

BTW a Reply from Canonical:

Code: Select all

Hi,

Thanks for your response and for your understanding of the issue.

If what you are making is a new collection of things in the Ubuntu
repositories, then it is okay to call it "Ubuntu <description> Remix"
 as
it is an adapted version of Ubuntu packages.  But if you are including
things that aren't officially part of Ubuntu, then I'm afraid it is no
longer Ubuntu and is going to need a different name completely. For
example, I believe last year you made a version of Ubuntu that included
 
only software from the repositories but with a new Christmas-ish
 artwork
theme - calling that the Ubuntu Christmas Remix is absolutely fine.

If you can get your project to fit the definition of a Remix, then you
can use the Ubuntu logo (for non-commercial reasons).  But the site
would still need to be changed - right now the combination of the
prominent use of the logo, the ubuntusoftware domain, and the "Ubuntu
Software" in the top banner of the site all combine to make the site
look like it is the (or a part of the) official Ubuntu site.  If you
look at the site through the eyes of a newcomer you'll see that it will
 
definitely confuse people into thinking this is the Ubuntu site.  And
 if
it's confusing, then you're probably doing something wrong.  You need
 to
make the site look like what it is - your site to distribute a remix
(but not a formal edition) of Ubuntu.

If your project isn't a Remix but rather a new project based on Ubuntu,
 
then you'll need a new name/logo for your project. You can still use
 the
Ubuntu logo on the site to say "this is built on Ubuntu", but the
 Ubuntu
logo shouldn't be the main identifier. For example, some folks have
 made
Mint Linux (http://www.linuxmint.com/) based on Ubuntu. They are doing
something similar to you - i.e,. taking Ubuntu and making changes they
think are important (e.g., codecs).  They recognise Ubuntu in the
"About" section, but there is no confusion with Ubuntu.

I would be happy to go through page-by-page with you, but to do so
 would
need to know what the intention of the project is - is it something
 that
can be called a Remix? Or is it a derivative of Ubuntu?

Thanks,
Jane

Logo has been changed forum site wide (minus ranks currently), alot of work ahead probably should touch bases with her to see if it is ok. Color scheme / look will also change.

One of the themes I am working on:

You're right, I like it. Like the theme to. I like the darker themes (easier on the eyes) and have tried using some. Run into problems with some software, the drop down boxes end up being white text on a very light background and can't read them.

Here is one more for you all, published it at my site but when trying to enlarge to view, Foxfire froze up. So will put it here. Don't know if it is my installation of Foxfire or my site but tried with a live CD 0f 7.10 no problems..this is not the right place to post this info.. And thanks goes to the gracious comments.

That is really well done cowboy. WOW
