Nice... Are they going to replace "Debian-blue" and "Debian-dark"
which come with unstable, and I believe sqeeze as well? I think when
one doesn't specify a style, the one chosen by default on debian
unstable (perhaps sqeeze as well) is "Debian-dark", which is also nice
BTW...

Hi Javier & All,

Thanks, I hoping they both make it into the Debian Fluxbox and one of
them to become the default style for Fluxbox (fingers and toes
crossed, hehe) when a a style is not chosen. Most this work started
cause of the style 'debian_squeeze_dark', which I found rather
glitchy.

Anyways I hope people are enjoying the styles. as usual any comments
or suggests feel free to contact me :-)

Regards
Dale

Dale,

The scheme that is called Light does not seem very light to me. I see
that it has more contrast than the Dark theme, but it still uses a
dark background and dark window titles. Overall, it still looks like a
dark theme to me, albeit one with more contrast. Maybe the name is
misleading?

When I think about a typical light theme, I think of a light colored
background with dark text. For example, the editor that is showing in
one of the screenshots is using the GTK theme Clearlooks (I
think). That is a light theme because it uses white and light gray
backgrounds, black text, and color for accents.

It might be nice to have a true light theme for people who like those.
Apparently, a lot of people like them. Or it might suffice to change
the name of the existing second theme? I guess I would vote for more
difference between the two themes.

Some ideas to take or leave, no need to change anything on my account.

Phil

Yeah you are right there. I am not the best at naming thing things. It
was a friend the came up with the name of the theme for me. Maybe I
can call the the lighter font one 'Debian LibStick Dark Contrast' and
leave the other called 'Debian LibStick Dark'.

The GTK theme I am using is 'Murrina-Leopard-Mod' with the
'gtk2-engines-murrine' as the murrine engine seems to be a lot faster
than Clearlooks.

As I am not much of an artist I have yet to find a nice Debian light
background to use, maybe the default 'debian-blueish-wallpaper.svg'
will do. I have been thinking of doing a proper light version Fluxbox
style.

Hi All,

I have added another Fluxbox style the the 'Debian LibStick'[1]
styles. As some people suggested a light style would be nice.

Comments and suggestions welcome

Regards
Dale
