@aral @thelinuxEXP please notice that this is nothing official and is just someone's concept art. So don't hype people up for no good reason

@mks_h @aral Sure, it just looked good so I wanted to share it

@thelinuxEXP @aral true, I would certainly love to have it. Btw, I've seen today an extension for this being announced at Fedora's forum. Here: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/light-shell-for-gnome-desktop-experimentation/79656

Haven't tried myself tho

@thelinuxEXP @aral and now when I got to installing it, it turns out I misread "experimentation" for "extension".

@YoSoyFreeman @gnome Then make a light colour scheme, mixed colour scheme (whatever that means, clearly makes sense to some people), and a dark colour scheme and just let those of us who want a consistent light theme in light environments and dark theme in dark environments set it to change by the hour and be done with it.

@aral @gnome I totally agree with that. I though the proposal was about replacing one with the other. Thanks for the clarification!

@nahuel So if that’s the design decision, then surely the wallpaper – which takes up the most amount of space on the desktop – should be dark in light mode so that it doesn’t distract from the apps. But instead it’s light.

Light mode should be light mode…

That goes for GNOME Console also. It should adopt a light theme in light mode and follow the system’s colour scheme.

I really don’t see a design justification for the current inconsistency. It sounds more like someone’s preference.

@nekothegamer @gnome Then, by all means, avoid it. I don’t think anyone’s suggesting that you get forced to use it :)

For some people, like me, it’s far easier on the eyes during the day and I prefer having my whole system consistent (if it’s in light mode, it’s in light mode. If it’s in dark mode it’s in dark mode).
