well no. i want to move things along. trying to be helpful is all.

You want to skip those steps. All the marketing materials are public. Please tell Astrid that you cannot find the materials. I work hard at this and you do too.

well, if you tried to confuse me, you succeeded. if not, you just didn't help me at all. so thanks - for nothing.

i want to help you guys. if that is not welcome, i'm totally fine and do stuff elsewhere. was just under the impression that you have a timeline to catch.

again. no clue what your problem is here. but sure. if you don't want the help of someone with an actual degree that includes graphic design and working in the field, then this someone will not impose himself. just a little surprised that "ten+ years" result in oversights like the transparency, aliasing artefacts or unreadability of desktop icons.

well, sorry no. there is no source file or location of it named in the PR 'ol15 firenze desk' https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive/pull/332
