Now that Debian 12 has been released, the version of desktop-base in
testing should no longer include Debian 12 branding, so that the testing
installer will be visually distinct from the Debian 12 stable release.

The simplest possible implementation of this would be to remove the "12"
from all the art components, but I think it would be better to use artwork
that is obviously different.

One simple "programmer-art" way to do that would be to desaturate the
Debian 12 artwork down to greyscale to make it obviously a placeholder,
or rotate the hue to make it a different colour.

However, it might be nicer (and definitely more fun!) to have a theme
specifically for Debian in its alpha/beta state, with a sense of "this is
under construction", to be replaced by a proper Debian 13 theme closer
to the Debian 13 freeze. Some of the contributors who were helping with
debian-cd testing during the Debian 12 release process had a similar
thought a while ago, and got as far as preparing a background image for
this purpose - I'll ask them to follow up here.

Prior art: GNOME applications built from their alpha/beta branches often
have yellow and black stripes (resembling hazard tape) overlaying part
of their icon, and a gear-wheel motif in the titlebar, to distinguish
them from the stable version of the same application.

Dear Simon,

Le lundi 19 juin 2023, 20:50:35 CEST Simon McVittie a écrit :

I think this makes sense.

Yes, I can do that.

I probably won’t do that.

Well I was not convinced at all by the last proposal I saw.

Obviously theming and art are very personal but I wouldn’t want to replace quality artwork we’ve been having for the last couple of releases with something I consider less attractive just for the sake of it.

OK for the artwort to convey the idea of work-in-progress but the art itself cannot be work-in-progress…

And yes I know people can change it if they like but defaults count, especially since it will be part first impressions for new users of testing.


Happy hacking,

I've been playing with the idea of "egg", a theme based on Juliet Taka's
Homeworld theme, previously used on Debian 11.

The egg represents something that hasn't hatched yet, screenshot
attached. I can probably work on this a bit more after I've taken care
of the live bugs for 12.1.

Any thoughts?

Dear Jonathan,

I don't think I would have seen the « egg » look of it without the subtitle, but I do like it. 🙂

Are you willing to work on the whole theme including login background, wallpaper (and maybe lock screen) variants ? The dark version of the wallpaper ? (OK we don't even have that until now, but… why not !)

Also while at it I'd like to be able to ship each theme in their own debian-artwork-${release} binary package (including that testing theme), but still handle the theme n->theme testing->theme n+1 transition automagically for users.

I've pondered over it a couple of times but couldn't come up with a nice way of doing it.

Thoughts ?

The changes include updating a binary file, so I'd prefer to send them as
a git MR instead of patches attached to a bug, but I can provide patches if
required. The updated PNG is a straightforward export from Inkscape, which
would need to be redone manually if using a diff|patch workflow.

Thanks for the patches !
I’ve done some general cleanup to the package and just uploaded it with your changes.

Indeed it would be nice to do it earlier in the cycle but… someone™ has to do it. :)
