Hello Everyone,
For a while I have been pondering the cosmetic and artwork related changes we should try and work on for R14. Unlike most projects, we are rather nostalgic, so going flat out new won't work for us. A new default theme or such is not advisable. Users won't like it. I think we should instead focus on creating an improved R14 style. A theme consists of: Backgrounds, Color Schemes, Fonts, Icons, Window Decorations, Widget Styles, and Screensavers. These don't need drastic revision, instead they need careful changes to help reflect our goals. Speed simplicity and customization are my top priorities.
What do we need to improve? My vote is this
- New backgrounds - Our defaults are out of date and I don't really
like them, Every new release should see some fresh artwork. Users can keep the old one if the prefer it. These need to be pleasant to view and also look modern. (not to glossy though).

I like Trinity-04.jpg and Trinity-13.jpg personally; the latter reminds me of a director's chair on a movie set for some reason. :-)
