Thanks for the update. I liked the old version of the
wallpapers
better, as they did not contain those hard edges.
I agree. I'll revert the change or try something new.
Concerning the start-here icons, I did not yet find a
way to enable
those in gnome-shell. There has been an extension
available for that
purpose:
https://github.com/fpmurphy/__GNOME-3.2-Shell-Extensions/__tree/master/address@hidden
<https://github.com/fpmurphy/GNOME-3.2-Shell-Extensions/tree/master/address@hidden>
but it does not seem to work with gnome-shell 3.4 that
is included
in wheezy.
It should of course work with alternate desktop
environments like Xfce.
I added the icons just in case they are needed to replace
the Debian
swirl which is in /usr/share/icons/gnome, but I haven't seen
the Debian
logo used in GNOME shell as much as it was in GNOME 2 (a
good thing, I
think). In Debian 7 you can can select the icon theme from
Applications
--> System Tools --> Advanced Settings --> Theme --> Icon
Theme. But
nothing seems to change when you select something there.
In the commit notes it also says: added GTK theme, but
I cannot find it.
Ah, well, it is supposed to be aurora/desktop/Aurora. You
wont find the
actual themes for GTK 2 and GTK 3 because Aurora uses
Adwaita's (see
aurora/desktop/Aurora/index.__theme). So,
aurora/desktop/Aurora is just
Adwaita but with different backgrounds and the gnewsense
icon theme,
which inherits everything from gnome icon theme except the logo.
I would appreciate if we could have a gNewSense-specific GTK theme.
As in Parkes it could be based on the default theme, but with
adjusted colors.
In Debian Wheezy a transition Adwaita theme has been used,
meaning it actually uses a slightly modified Clearlooks for GTK2
and Adwaita for GTK3 only. The theme engine also does not yet
fully support GTK2 Adwaita (that has been introduced in GNOME 3.6).
Maybe we could just port the existing GTK2 theme and modify the
GTK3 theme a bit, to match the color scheme.
Sure. I'll try that for version 0.2.0

Marcus, have you noticed an erratic behavior of GDM Greeter (login
screen)? I've noticed two things:
* Sometimes the login screen looks like the shell, sometimes it
looks like fallback.
A similar bug has been reported to Debian already:
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist%40lists.debian.org/msg1076025.html
* When there are two users or more to choose, moving between users
gradually increases the width of the login dialog.
This one has been reported as well:
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist%40lists.debian.org/msg1074785.html
I have to check if these have been reported upstream, but they may
be the reason why Debian defaults to "session-name='gdm-fallback'"
for the greeter.
And, no, the reason why Debian uses "session-name='gdm-fallback'" by
default is because "session-name='gdm-shell'" requires a compatible 3D
graphics card (see section 5.4 in Debian Wheezy release notes)
<http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/i386/release-notes/ch-information.en.html>.
