Hi,

Let's start thinking about Windows camouflage for Tails Jessie/GNOME
shell (https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/8064)

Do we still want to provide Windows Camouflage? How much energy do we
want to put in it and who wants to participate?

If we want to keep shipping a windows camouflage for Tails Jessie, I
propose we stay on windows 8, which is still the current Windows
version. It means we could keep (most of) the GTK+ and icon theme as a
basis and "only" replace the gnome-panel theme by a GNOME Shell thing.

About implementation :

- I think having a desktop looking like windows 8 desktop shouldn't be
too hard. I didn't find such a pre-made theme. I's probably about
writing a custom shell extension, inspired by GNOME's "classic" set
of extensions;
- mimic windows 8 metro interface in GNOME Shell activity view looks
doable but harder for me. I didn't find anything on the web.

I'm up for participating to the effort if we collectively think it
makes sense. However I'm not sure that I want to handle it alone.

Cheers
