Launchpad Entry: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/epidermis/+spec/make-distro-skins
Created: 2008-10-25 by David D Lowe

Summary:

Create a new Epidermis skin for every major Linux distro out there that uses GNOME. For example: Ubuntu Studio, Linux Mint...

Rationale:

The default look and feel of most Linux distrobutions are different and polished. They also are complete, all the 'pigments' fit togethor very well, so they would make high quality skins.

Use cases:

Scope:

Design:

Here's a list of distributions and flavours that could be worked on:

• Ubuntu
• Linux Mint
• Ubuntu Studio
• Edubuntu
• OpenGeu (with a Metacity theme instead of Enlightenment)
• Fedora
• Mandriva

Implementation:

Follow the how to make your own skin guide.

Outstanding issues:

Several distributions don't use usplash and grub, usplash and grub themes must be created for them.
