On the velvet-noise wallpaper and conky thread:
johnraff wrote:The conky colours/shades are going to have to be adjusted to match the final choice of default wallpaper I'd say.
I would extend that statement to include one other factor. If the conky colors/shades are to be constrained to within certain limits based on the wallpaper, might they also be reflective of the overall theme itself and use one of the hex color values that is specified in the overarching theme already?
On that point, I think the suggestion up to now is for a Crunchbangy grey look, hence the velvet-noise background being popular. So it makes sense to have compatible but contrasting hex colours for a conky to match.
However, I like the idea of a dash of colour - for example a blue-ish velvet-noise with a corresponding conky colour. Does it make sense to come up with some colour palettes? A set of "recommended bunsenlabs hex values"? A greyscale overall look could still benefit from some colour highlights.
If we decide on, say, 10 default wallpapers to include in the distro, it would be easy enough to have 10 matching conky's (identical except for the text colours) for users to pick from. I know it is dead easy to edit a basic conky, but that approach might add to the impression of a carefully thought-out distro.
And also on that thread
If default wallpaper and OB/GTK themes are going to be all or nearly grayscale, how about matching conky colors with a terminal colourscheme? Thin characters against gray wall are not going to sting your eye in low saturation colour.
Again, the powerusers will be happy sorting out their own terminal schemes, but a set of profiles to include for terminator might be an idea.

Someone mentioned the idea of color matching BunsenLabs artwork to the Debian release colors, and I like the BunsenLabs Lines examples posted recently. (I don't know what that would mean for our artwork if Debian decided to go cartoony again like they did with Spacefun. )

pvsage has a good point, it might be better not directly track them. You can of course orientate yourself on them, but you never now what they want to do. No cartoonish stuff on default.
We can go with grey for first release! Maybe choose something more modern as a font (open sans for exampe) and then more or less keep the #! look (grey-ish) for the beginning?

I've just found out how to export hex values from a GIMP colour palette as a text file.
Any use to anyone?

That's what I've been using for the BunsenLabs artwork so far

Somebody remember Rhowaldt's palleter-script? I did not find it in BBQ forums any more, but it is still at least in fog's blog:

Good find Imagemagick has a HUGE number of abilities!
The script needs some work, but it could make a very useful utility. It would be good to add some error-checking, choose number of colours wanted, formatting, output to file etc
(Another project to add to the list.... ]

Save it. Remove the last line (Why clear? Replace it with echo.)
Make it executable.

Probably. I use .ase files through Adobe all the time. Nice to see a function similar to that in Gimp. Saves a lot of time color matching.

The Waldorf grey look is certainly very easy on the eye, and would reassure nervous ex-crunchbangers that they're close to home. OTOH, a slight change would show that Bunsen isn't just a Waldorf clone...
I'm personally very happy to leave this stuff in your hands, graphics-aware people - everything that's been posted recently looks great!

That's exactly my thinking - crunchy but with a visual hint that it is something different. This would be achieved most easily with the banner for the live install (if we go down the iso route), and obviously the default wall, conky and tint2. A monochrome, low saturation background (not necessarily all-grey); maybe a complementary tinted background or border for conky and tint2?

But the more input the better. You will have your name on the product somewhere, whether it is scripts, methods, configs, forum input, so everyone must feel some ownership.
I wouldn't want to be held responsible for producing the BunsenLabs version of debian-joy!
EDIT: That reminds me - we need a Tint2 taskforce team
Seriously though: number of desktops? Launchers? What is in the systray?

I think you have seen my approach, which was lots of gray with just a bit of blue in the conkies and along the window titles in the OB theme. Crunchy, yet not.

As has been thrown around here several times, one may consider the essence of the #! appearance to be openbox+tint2+conky. As such, I would think that having the exact same colors in gtk+, Terminator, LightDM, GRUB and the desktop features (conky and tint2) would help tie BunsenLabs all together. We could base it off of a set of wallpapers, and make sure that the default colorscheme was adequately pleasing and visible in all of them. If we base it off of the bunsen1 colorscheme we already have the colors to work with and need only apply them accordingly.
There's been some tossing about of a "blue" additive. Keep in mind that there is the amazing solarized colorscheme if it were ever to come to that.

The main reason I was in favor of blue was to tie in with the Jessie artwork, which is a different shade of blue from the teal used in Solarized.
If we want to add a shot of color, how about if each release uses the element's emission spectrum for its gtk/gtk+ highlight color? I'm already looking forward to BunsenLabs 3 - Lithium! ]:D

The Debian blue is odd because it looks green/tealy but when you put it with the teals, it's definitely on the blue side. Turquoise?

A monochrome, low saturation background (not necessarily all-grey); maybe a complementary tinted background or border for conky and tint2?
Might I hazard to suggest a two step color/theme evolution? With the *first* Brunsen Labs release, pursue only a few small color/theme changes. For example, a nice calm grey-blue Brunsen Labs wallpaper, an ob theme to match, and a simple conky with a few grey-blue highlights (maybe add the time to conky too). You could throw in a traditional conky layout (.trad-conkyrc) for traditionalists. These changes would point to a new yet familiar OS. Subsequent releases would deviate a bit more.
Hopefully Brunsen will be a really nice community distro.

Sector 11 strikes again - thanks! I just put this in a text file for future reference.
Glad you like it.
Maybe I'll rip open my /media/5/Conky/Tips-n-Tricks/ directory and strike again with some useless info some day.

Just my two cents as a common user: one of the things that really had a catch on me from the very first time I tried #! was the grey/black minimalistic approach, and I think many consider that as a brandmark.
Of course it matters relatively, since it's even more "crunchy" to customize everything so any color may not last long, but would be easier to feel BL as a continuation of CB if the color as kept as they are.
Thanks to anyone who is currently working on it!

I wanted to post exactly this.
once you start using it it doesn't matter so much, but it has a big impact when you're browsing, say, distrowatch...
it's a statement, it's recognizable, it says "minimalistic".
btw the latest #! design was really just 50 shades of grey, no black.
I'd like to keep it that way; not everyone likes blue as highlight.
that said, it would be nice to have some featured semi-automatic customization, maybe like the post-installation cb-welcome script had.
ps: big thanks for unearthing this.
