Hanso And Homosapien, New Proposed Artwork

Hanso and Homosapien are new proposed Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx themes.

• Hanso

Concept

Create a truly unique and modern theme for the Ubuntu Desktop. This a redux of the original version of Hanso utilizing several of the new murrine option if the current engine including new arrowstyle, border_shades, border_colors, comboboxstyle, gradient_colors, prelight_shade, shadow_shades, spinbuttonstyle, textstyle, trough_shades, reliefstyle, and stepperstyle. I have also almost successfully themed a dark Firefox toolbar without the need for additional plugins. It still needs some work, but for the most part is functional.

Homosapien is something different, if Ubuntu team decide to stick to brown color I think this theme will be included.
