- QA Check set to Dev Needed
I have tested this branch. The freeze is coming fast, and there seems to be quite some work left on this task. Here’s what seems to be wrong or missing:
- the start menu has a Debian logo
- there’s a Logout button in the start menu, while we hide it (on purpose) in the regular GNOME session
- the panel has a black background, which feels wrong (is it the same on Win8?)
- there is no desktop notification displayed, and I cannot find the status icons
- there is no application launcher
- the GTK theme is ugly. Is it really the same in Win8?
- there doesn’t seem to be a IE theme applied to the web browser
- is the window decoration theme that ugly in Win8?
I can create subtasks for each of these, if you confirm within 24h that they are actual problems.
#8 Updated by anonym 2014-05-14 16:10:02
Any update on this, alant? If needed I could perhaps help with parts of it, although I won’t be able to promise too much due to my RM commitments.

> the start menu has a Debian logo
The start menu has an ubuntu logo. That should be solved.
> there’s a Logout button in the start menu, while we hide it (on purpose) in the regular GNOME session
That should be solved.
> the panel has a black background, which feels wrong (is it the same on Win8?)
That is solved.
>there is no desktop notification displayed, and I cannot find the status icons
I can’t reproduce this issue.
> there is no application launcher
That is solved.
> the GTK theme is ugly. Is it really the same in Win8?
That is solved.
> there doesn’t seem to be a IE theme applied to the web browser
That should be solved.
> is the window decoration theme that ugly in Win8?
Yes.
Current status :
#11 Updated by alant 2014-05-20 08:56:35
The sources for the theme is at http://git.tails.boum.org/gnome-theme-windows8/.

See attachment for how a build from the current state (commit c4e781a) looks. Note that this is after I log out and in, otherwise some stuff is not applied (e.g. the start menu button isn’t shown). However, the icon theme is still not applied, and a non-existent background is set (did you forget to git add
the picture in commit c4e781a?). Also, the text color in the terminal is the same as the background color, black, so it’s pretty much useless.
I notice an Ubuntu icon for the start menu in your screenshot, but I get the Debian swirl. Are you actually testing your script in Tails, or in Ubuntu?

The basics looks OK.
Left to do:
- iceweasel/torbrowser theme?
- windows picker applet (https://github.com/lanoxx/window-picker-applet/)?
- shutdown applet size
#14 Updated by alant 2014-05-23 03:01:54
I merged the current state in experimental to ease testing and feedback.

Some comments and suggestions about the panel (recieved on tails-dev):
- The current icon for Iceweasel is the IE6/7 icon from XP, but it
looks different in Windows 8. See my screenshot.
- The icons for pidgin and claws should be changed to those of the
People (or Skype) and Mail apps, respectively, like in my screenshot.
Or they should be removed, which perhaps is the simplest.
- The icons for KeyPassX and GNOME terminal should be removed. There
are no immediate common applications corresponding to these.
- Possibly we can add a launcher for the home directory, as the
left-most one, which seems to be the default in Windows 8/8.1.
- Can we remove the “separators” (or whatever those lightblue, “dotty”
things are calleD) on the left and right of the tasks?
- The shutdown applet is actually quite stealthy as it is (size and
color), but it’d be better if it could be moved to between the system
tray and the clock applet. On windows the clock seems to always be
touching the right edge of the screen.
- The clock applet’s text should be white.
- The Vidalia icon in the system tray has a weird grey rectangle
beneath it. Can we remove it?
- Can we make the icons in the system tray smaller? The size of
Vidalia’s and the shutdown applet icon are pretty good.
Also, about the desktop: it seems the only thing there by default is the
Recycle Bin, so we should remove everything else, IMHO.

I fail to find how to theme or remove that (without patching
gnome-panel)

There is a CSS property for that:
NaTrayApplet {
-NaTrayApplet-icon-size: 20px;
-NaTrayApplet-icon-padding: 1;
}
But it’s unfortunately not applied in wheezy. I’m giving up.

Done.
