[Design-team] Fluxbox style

[Andreas Wallberg]

Hi Design Team!

I am a long-time Fluxbox user and recent Fedora convert who miss an
official Fedora style for Fluxbox. I have been playing around with the
colour palette from the Icon guidelines available over at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/EchoIconGuidelines to create a
minimalistic (in the traditional spirit of fluxbox) yet appealing look
with a familiar "Fedora feel" to it. For speed and responsiveness, I
have chosen not to use pixmaps at all but will stick to the native
colour and gradient rendering in Fluxbox which is easily specified
with RGB codes.

However, I have a question:

The Clearlooks Metacity the Fedora icon themes clearly go hand in hand
in terms of the soft blue tones (are they based on the Tango
palette?). I am using the "Fedora Blues" for the windows and toolbar
in my draft but the colours look a tad bit off compared to icons,
scrollbar and other blueish widgets on the Gnome/Gtk desktop. So here
it goes: when creating a style from scratch like this with the aim of
inclusion in Fedora, should I prioritize an "official" Fedora
trademark palette (if there is one), which boosts the Fedora identity,
or the palette which integrates best with the default widgets and
icons (which I presume results in the smoothest experience for the
user)?

A draft for the theme is available here:

And a screenshot can be found here:
