We need to start porting Tails to Wheezy, and test it. Work is done in the `feature/wheezy` Git branch. **Tickets**: * [1.1 milestone](https://labs.riseup.net/code/projects/tails/roadmap#Tails_1.1) * [[!tails_ticket 6015]] **Current state** (2013-12-23): builds, boots. Quite some things are broken, and many minor features had to be disabled to workaround build issues. [[!toc levels=2]] Research to do ============== Windows Camouflage ------------------ **Ticket**: [[!tails_ticket 6342]] We need to implement the Windows Camouflage mode in GNOME3 "Classic" (aka. fallback) mode. ### Windows XP i.e. porting the 1.0 theme #### Left to do * Metacity theme, mouse cursor theme and desktop background: should be set correctly in `/usr/local/bin/tails-activate-winxp-theme`, but isn't actually applied; perhaps changing GSettings in `PostLogin.default` isn't supported? We should try migrating this code from `PostLogin.default` to a script started from `~/.config/autostart/` and see if this works better; might be applied too late, though. * GTK2 theme * GTK3 theme * icons theme * only one GNOME panel * many, many more settings set in the script (`/usr/local/bin/tails-activate-winxp-theme`) that enables all this when the user has enabled Windows Camouflage in the Greeter #### Resources * The [Luna XP theme](http://winxp4life.tk/index.php#linux) we ship in Tails/Squeeze only supports GTK2, *but* upstream have ported it to GTK3 and MATE since then. * Ubuntu's GNOME Classic is not that far from a good old GNOME2 DE: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseGnomeClassicTweaks * The default theme (`/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0/`) can be forked and customized. * GTK3 Windows-like themes seem to be [in the works](http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2012/03/27/moar-windows-themes/), and <http://gnome-look.org/> has a few ones. * some [customization tips](http://askubuntu.com/questions/69576/how-to-customize-the-gnome-classic-panel) ### Windows eight themes #### Screenshots * <http://www.techranger.net/media/Screenshot_12.png> * <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVEvbKg6JNI&src_vid=_E1UxI5I_jo&feature=iv&annotation_id=annotation_571654> * <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi8NpwiEuzc> #### Configuration * <http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/02/windows-8-metro-gtk-theme> - gtk3: <http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=158721> (GPLv3) - metacity: <http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Windows+8+modern+UI?content=157024> (GPLv3) * icon theme: <http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/?content=153241> (GPLv3) * cursors: <http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/?content=155025> (GPLv3) * panel taskbar: <https://github.com/lanoxx/window-picker-applet/> (GPLv3) * panel height: 48px #### Other ressources * <http://news.softpedia.com/news/Windows-8-GTK-Theme-for-Linux-Is-as-Close-As-Possible-to-Microsoft-s-Windows-8-OS-428436.shtml> ### Windows seven themes #### Screenshots * <http://www.softpedia.com/progScreenshots/Windows-7-Screenshot-118183.html> * <http://i1-win.softpedia-static.com/screenshots/Windows-7_5.jpg> #### Mostly working configuration * GTK2, GTK3, metacity: <http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Win2-7+Remix?content=153233> (GPLv3) * icon theme: <http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/?content=153241> (GPLv3) * cursors: <http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/?content=155025> (GPLv3) * panel taskbar: <https://github.com/lanoxx/window-picker-applet/> (GPLv3) #### Other ressources * <http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Windows+7+theme?content=116499> * <http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Win2-7+Pack?content=113264> * <http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/tutoriel/theme_seven> * <http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/%5BLXDE%5DWinAte+-+Windows+7+8+Theme+pack?content=163150> * icon only taskbar panel applet - Talika (gnome2) <http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/talika-applet-icons-only-window-list-on.html> - Dockbarx (gnome2 + standalone): http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/DockbarX?content=101604 What works ========== * Reading (IMAP) and sending email with Claws. * OpenPGP applet symmetric enc/dec * Roundcube webmail * MAT cleans a PDF * Erase memory on shutdown * USB installer (Clone & Install) * Iceweasel/torbrowser works * FTP works on LAN in Nautilus * Streaming in Totem * Unlocking and using already created persistence * Tails-additional-software works * Unsafe browser * Orca * memory wiping on shutdown works, when triggered by the GNOME shutdown UI, on a system that has this feature working despite Linux 3.11
