I would like to press an "export look and feel"-button to get a file with all the look-and-feel-related stuff included, so that i can reproduce my complete look and feel on another machine.

And also additional programs like AWN and Screenlets are often seen on screen shots, but a beginner does not know what he should searching for. So in the past some guys asked me where they can find stuff like this.
I also already had an idea how this could look like:

It is also beneficial in cleaning up the preferences/administration menus.]]> Sat, 01 Mar 2008 14:01:00 +0000

It's of course necessary to be able to modify each aspect of theming and combine aspects of different themes into a custom setting. Yet, once done, this should be exportable and importable as one meta-file or something, very very simple. ]]> Wed, 05 Mar 2008 19:42:44 +0000 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 09:54:05 +0000
now i have an unbuntu 7.10 in one partition with a nice theme that took me a lot of work

then i installed ubuntu 8.04 in another partition ( to testing purposes )

but now i wan't to "import" the ubuntu 7.10 theme to 8.04 and i will have to remember all the tweaks to reproduce it

how nice would be a "export theme" and "import theme" button !!

wonderful idea

Most people spend a lot of time configuring their desktops, changing wallpapers, appearance settings, icons, metacity themes, compiz settings, skydomes, and god knows what else. Some people make their systems look like a mac, some make it look like vista, some make it look unique.

I think it would be a significant leap if we could make a SINGLE (large) file container, with everything involved in the desktop settings, and send it to other users. The community could share beautifully tuned desktops, and we all could experiment with numerous desktops really rapidly.

If we improve productivity in this arena, then everyone on windows would see amazing desktops, all changeable, and that's an important step towards solving bug#1.

A large file could have all associated settings, parameters, needed files, and command sequences to configure the desktop in ONE click. Most newbies don't have the know how or the patience to learn how to really transform a desktop... we could give them a little instant gratification, as this is something that no mac or windows user can do. And wouldn't it be cool to quickly check out if that awesome desktop fits your machine?]]> Mon, 08 Sep 2008 21:14:22 +0000

Does that fit, or are you looking for something else? It really should be integrated, it's true.]]> Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:37:29 +0000 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 04:13:35 +0000 Fri, 12 Sep 2008 10:35:32 +0000 Fri, 12 Sep 2008 10:42:34 +0000 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 13:40:12 +0000 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 19:09:45 +0000
