@soren . . . looking forward to seeing what you can do with the rather rough mock up. I have another one here that is a little brighter but then I can discern one increment difference in a hex. I can add it to git or email to you. Also note that the image needs to be viewed and worked on full screen. Any other colors touching it will distort things because it is very subtle. And a request . . . please never use #FFFFFF or #000000.  Always add just a bit of the primary color so the elements blend instead of becoming visual "dead zones". Feel free to contact me on irc or through the forum mailer. Thanks again for stepping up to give it a try!

@soren . . . please see my response in OT.  All the color palettes for devuan theming are related to the release name in some way. Not random colors (or lack thereof). IRC is a good place for discussion . . .

The custom theme is to establish Devuan's identity from installation through the default desktop. The layout is the same for every release. Only the colors change to reflect the name of that particular Devuan distribution. I chose "deathmetal" because a sword - ie excalibur - is an instrument of death (and also a contemporary music genre). The colors are that of iron - I looked at a lot of ancient swords - with a touch of the matrix because humans never seem to progress in their behavior.

Debian customizations and default application artwork would probably take over . . . but I have never given it a try.

If only Devuan's survival depended on jokes . . . sigh . . .

When it is available on Debian.

Sigh . . . in the windows article this:

Good grief . . . idiot writer doesn't know the difference between effect and affect. And they get paid to produce this drivel? We are doomed! LOL!

Unfortunately. . . wailing and pulling of hair over and over does little to turn the tide. It only wastes Devuan resources and perhaps provides therapy for those with nothing more constructive to do . . .

@quickfur . . . I bet you could make an excellent contribution to the joke thread with that info!

Yes, I remember rrq's objection to your unclickable links and I likely said something at some point also. I also understand your logic.

Since you are a bit of a noob, I'll share some history . . . at one time, iirc,  rrq removed the truncated live link function so links printed in their entirety. Due to user feedback from those who like to click a link, the live, truncated links were returned. Will be interesting to hear other forum members feedback about your manipulations to "have it your way".

But . . . what keeps ringing in my ears is this:

"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one."

In the meantime, please use the standard protocols of this forum as they were intended.

@zapper . . . seems you're having a bad day . . . The movie in your head is the movie in YOUR head and obviously stressing you. Please take a deep breath and change the channel you're watching . . .

@pl . . . ditto

Me too not long after Y2K and the first announcements that windoze was going to the cloud . . .

Here you go!
