Personally, I am LOVING the Solar artwork. Samuele, I would ask that
you consider doing the following:
* Remove the moons - I believe these are distracting to the eye and
possibly might confuse users. I have seen my children react to desktop
icons like that sometimes.
* Remove the "aura" in the middle - It's very bright and interferes with
desktop icons that are placed in that area. The solar body does not
have this problem because its bright areas are not as wide.
I agree with Mo that the GRUB screen might need some slight tweaking,
but the other banners are *BEAUTIFUL*. I hope people will not interpret
this as negativity toward any other theme, because I think we have MANY
great ideas this time.
Enough, in fact, that we should consider:
(1) holding a runner-up for Fedora 11 to use then, and/or
(2) packaging one or more of these as alternates for Fedora 10, like a
"10th release ultra-mega-party pack theme extravaganza!" ;-)
