Nice work Aniruddha !!!

I've uploaded my desktop snapshot on this month's Official Desktop thread on Forum.

U R WORKING REALLY HARD !!!

Keep it up !!

Thanks, pal.

Actually I wanted to release ver.0.3. It had been eagerly waiting on my desktop to be free from the shackles!

I wanted to take a break from this as I need to give more time regarding my admissions. However, I guess it won't leave me so soon. I gotta sort out the Icon theme problem and soon release an addon pack for GNOME 2.20. But I'll soon do it.

Yeah, I saw the desktop. Sweet

Anyone working on packaging it? Looks like I won't have time to do any packaging stuff before 18th November as I have CAT coming up and no net connection at work.

 

[infra_red_dude]

QWERTY said he'll do the scripting work. No need of packaging, no .deb or .rpm. Scripts will work everywhere I guess I'll be banking on him for that now, since I'm quite busy myself.

Well it will be much better in the long term and to attract more users and developers that we have atleast one rpm and one deb package available initially atleast.
How much more difficult is it to create a deb from it? I haven't tried the whole procedure myself but from what I've read it's just about creating a folder for the project, arranging the files in proper hierarcy as it would go on the file system. Write pre-install and post-install scripts as may be required and then run some tool like dh_make. I may have missed out on a few things. And I have pointed out a few people to Harsh who can prolly address his queries reguarding packaging.

Another thing I forgot to add, is that a deb created for debian or ubuntu should work on both to the best of my knowledge as we don't have any external dependancy. Only problem we could encounter is if there are differences in paths.

What is this project about, was searching for an "about"

The document and the projects are his of course, whilst due credit has been given to the individual theme packs contained within. Infra doesn't hold any responsibility or etc over what's inside the pack, its subject to the creators mentioned within.

@shirish
Thanks pal. BTW my name is Anirudh

@Vish
Yeah, its for the guide. Actually, I think I'll ask the mod there to remove that copyright. I didn't ask him to put that up, neither did the guide contain it. Actually there could be some copyright issues not with that screenshot but with the use of Apple logo in the GNOME main menu. But then if that happens then I'll not ship the logo with the package, thats it

@avikchuks
The Icon theme doesn't fully work in GNOME 2.20. Some of the icons are still the old GNOME ones. I'm working on a compatible theme.

@QWERTY
Yep

And the number of downloads haf exceeded my expectations!!! I can't even imagine that a 40-odd MB package could be downloaded so many times that the total downloads would reach close to 250GB in just about 7 dayz!!!! (figure indicates only ver.0.3 download!!!!)

 

[Dark Star]

Update icon set dude I need it
