I like the look, but lets hear what others say.

Hello all!

Some time without talk in this topic... Anyone still interested in the design guidelines?

I can still finish the static site generator to be used by the project - which provides an easy way to change themes and create/edit pages only by editing plain text files and calling the generator after that. I started a (Object)Pascal version (about 40% done) and a ShellScript version (about 20% done).

The layout showed a few posts before I can make in pure css2 (as requested) or css3 (responsive).

Interesting thread - I've just stumbled onto it.

If there is interest, I've edited the base FLWM code to support using/reading a conf file (~/.flwm.conf). I use it for modifying key bindings and desktop names without rebuilding. Adding support for "themes" - frame and button color/width/size/style, etc., shouldn't be too hard. Main problem, of course, is finding time to add that code. It's a reasonably small change, too. I think 20k. Not 100k.

I'd be interested to see this thread fix/describe the palette (more specific than just stating blue/gray): RGBA or CMYK values for the "stock" set of gray/orange/black/white/blue. Then themers and icon designers can depart from that set. Stating the stock sizes may help. I'm not even sure what wbar wants.

I, for one, like the idea that FLWM is the base WM. I also like the lack of boot splash, but I do use quiet in grub.

I liked the ElementaryOS BETA wallpaper (the blueprint): http://i.imgur.com/89v1S.jpg

Same!
..I wander could some (better) approximation of this blueprint wallpaper be scripted with ImageMagick ...

Hello all!

Quite some time that no one posted anything about a new website layout and logo.

No one interested?

To simplify the maintenance of the site, I'll suggest a Static Site Generator and then we can build a theme around it...
