Way too dark from my point of view. Looks...interesting...but doesn't seem to have any user- or noob-friendlyness.

As long as the font for the word "Ubuntu" remains the official one,
I've no problem with font changes.

Yes, you can link an idea/bug to a LP bug number or/and a spec url
and/or a ubuntuforums.org thread. Then the links are displayed at the
right of the title, as icons.

Yes, when you submit a idea/bug, you must select a category. We just
have to fill the list with category like "games", "office",
"multimedia", and so on...

Thanks for your offer!
The test website has three modules, which act as three (almost)
independant websites. The links are located in the top bar ("ISO
tracker", "Hardy bugs", "Hardy ideas"). Right now, the same logo ISO
testing tracker is displayed for each module. We would like to display
one different logo per module, to clearly identify the different
modules.
The logo for the "Hardy bugs" module (top bar names are not definitive
at all) would display the text "Ubuntu most hated bugs", and the one
for the "Hardy ideas" would display "Ubuntu ideas". The text can be
discussed, if you see a better one. Please note that the bug and idea
module will be pointed by the vote-bug.ubuntu.com and
vote-idea.ubuntu.com subdomains.
Concerning the size, the height should remain the same, 64px, and
could be expanded a bit if necessary. For the width, you can go as far
as 690px (to be viewable in 800x600).

We are currently using GD, and according to [1], any Freetype 1 and 2
font can be used. The font and size we choose for the dynamic text
parts is up to you!
The worst case scenario for a idea/bug title is 80 letters. The rest
of available information (votes, bug/idea number,..) will have a
close-to-static size. If necessary we can increase the font size as
the title lenght decrease, and I can handle double-line title.

A Canonical one.

[ubuntu-art] Just stirring, my desktop
Hi! Been following your discussion silently now some moments, and wanted to throw something "new" to see, if you may find something you might like from it and use it in your brainstorming... yaddayadda, the actual screenshot of my desktop: http://www.tm-travolta.net/shots/001.png Have fun etc. Tm_T -- Jussi Kekkonen tm_travolta(at)kapsi.fi & [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

You'll probably have to take that one up with Canonical / Mark Shuttleworth himself. They paid for that logo design and unless things have changed a lot in my absence, logo modification isn't an option. The "Ubuntu title font" also really isn't a general use, full featured typeface. I think Andrew completed the additional letters (besides "ubuntu") for Ubuntu-related uses (although the license allows other uses) like adding other text to Ubuntu themed graphics that would fit with the official logo. (Andrew, correct me if I'm wrong!) I'm not trying to burst anybody's bubble - anyone can create graphic elements for the UI or otherwise that don't use the typographic logo or do employ fonts other than the Ubuntu title font, but as far as getting the actual distro logo changed - I don't think it's gonna happen. That's just my $.02 (+/- $.02). :-) -- Aaron Ubuntu SVG Artwork - http://www.volvoguy.net/ubuntu --- Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere. ~ G.K.
