=== The end of Round 1 for F10 themes is near ===
=== Nodoka development ===


On the Fedora Art list, [[MairinDuffy]] proposed [1] the end for the first round of the theme named "battle" [2] for Fedora 10:
After the week before [[MartinSourada]] laid out some plans for the Nodoka GTK2 theme engine development, he comes back to the Fedora Art list with news about the topic:
"We've an overwhelming number of proposals for F10 now. Should we close new proposals for F10 so we don't have our focus spread across too many ideas?
"Considering that the Feature freeze for F10 is nearing and I haven't finished yet with the sketching, I'll push it for Fedora 11, while in Fedora 10 we'll have new notification theme [1], maybe the Echo icons and some minor improvements to the gtk theme/engine."
Also, we should probably go through the proposals missing the requirements and remind the proposers to fully fill them out or pull them."


And for Ian Weller's proposal [3], a deadline is set for July 21st, enough time for people to prepare their proposals.

=== Gathering feed-back about Fedora 10 theme proposals ===


[2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/F10Themes#List_of_Submissions
After the first round of the theme creation process for Fedora 10 ended, [[NicuBuculei]] started gathering[1] feed-back from the community (everyone is invited to participated, even the Fedora Weekly News readers):
"Since the first round for F10 themes just ended, I wrote to my (infamous) blog an article[2] listing all the proposals, including thumbnails and descriptions and asked for feedback (noting that the preferred way is this mailing list). Also posted about it on FedoraForum [3]."

=== Icons for applications and a web application ===
[2] http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/2008/07/fedora-10-themes-round-1.html


[[RobinNorwood]] introduced [1] an amazing web application [2] which allows users to search for, browse, comment on, and rate software applications available for Fedora and asks a series of questions about application icons:
[3] http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1050722
"So I've been looking at importing the icons for applications for the Fedora Applications web site [2].  We'd like to show an icon next to a given application, preferably the one the user would see in the menus after installing said app. This is, of course, complicated. I can currently look for icons inside each rpm in Fedora, specifically the rpm providing the application we're interested in, and the various *-icon-theme rpms."


And a little later he added [3] more details about how it will work, identifying the user's icon theme and using matching icons:
=== A possible Bluecurve revival ===
"To do the actual package install, we'll be using a browser plugin (probably) which will probably send us some limited information - like what version of Fedora the user is running, for instance.  It might be possible to include the current theme in this info."


[[AndyFitzsimon]] shares[1] on the Fedora Art list a theme mockup "I didn't design it specifically for fedora but I hope someone here finds it useful for future mocks" and very quickly [[HylkeBons]] expresses his interest[2] and idea about using it in combination with an own project[3] "I think this will fit well in my attempt to ressurect Bluecurve" (Bluecurve is the venerable theme introduced in Red Hat Linux 8 and used as a default until Fedora 6).

=== Plans for an improved Nodoka in F10 ===
 
[[MartinSourada]] revealed [1] his plan for an improved Nodoka GTK2 theme engine in Fedora 10:
"I am thinking about improving the nodoka gtk engine looks in the next release and adding some configuration options. Therefore I am asking here, if you have ideas, requests, ... what I might implement. Today I started sketching new nodoka gradient (used in e.g. buttons), which is basically an evolvement of the current one which will be available as a
configuration option."
 
He asked for ideas and outlined the hard work needed, with the caveat of the job having a slight probability of not making Fedora 10:
"As you can see it's rather a lot of work, and thus there is a possibility it will not be in Fedora 10, though certainly I make it in time for Fedora 11 (I promise :-p)."

A possible Bluecurve revival

AndyFitzsimon shares[1] on the Fedora Art list a theme mockup "I didn't design it specifically for fedora but I hope someone here finds it useful for future mocks" and very quickly HylkeBons expresses his interest[2] and idea about using it in combination with an own project[3] "I think this will fit well in my attempt to ressurect Bluecurve" (Bluecurve is the venerable theme introduced in Red Hat Linux 8 and used as a default until Fedora 6).
