Re: [ubuntu-art] Tossing some Window decorations into the pot.

[Rico Sta. Cruz]

Hey!

The things I'm not sure about here are:
 - The orange glow. I like the idea of a different-colored shadow, but if it
appears as a glow against certian backgrounds, it seems inconsistent and a
bit cheesy.
 - The min/max/close buttons. I'm not sure if it's too big or if the borders
tick me off...

But on the other hand, I do love the simplicity of it. Having that 1px
highlight was classy and spot-on.


Cheers,
-Rico

I like that a lot. If we can flip the folder around so the top lip
thing is in the left, the thumbnails will be much more visible.
Another option would be to put the thumbnail on top and add a drop
shadow... if the transparency thing doesn't work.

As per a smaller version, a re-make in the older flat style might be more
visually appropriate.
Anywho, mark 2. I also threw in some gloss versions in there. I have no idea
if the thumbnails in the icon are feasable at this point, but nonetheless
they are there.

I don't know of a way but you could get around it by making the button
size different and making the min and max buttons on the right and left
sides of the images(if they are images) so that they appear smaller then
they actually are.

One thing I noticed, I'm not sure if its native to firefox, but when you
right click on the toolbar you get a menu with two checkboxes. The text
beside the checkbox is spaced far too close.

I like the dust theme very much, but as mentioned in the wiki it might be
too dark. using a dark theme on a laptop with screen brightness on low is
not so nice and laptops are clearly something to consider. Personally i
think having a bit more colour full theme wouldn't hurt ubuntu, something
that looks fresh and fun, I do love that ibex wallpaper, it is amazing.

[ubuntu-art] Dust + Willibex

[Mario Viviani]

Hi everybody!

I made a different emerald theme using Kin Dust emerald theme found on
the wiki, and i edited it to fit willibex theme, that was one of the
discussed themes few weeks ago, if i remember correctly. I modified
willibex theme too, changing the background from brown-yellow colours to
white.
The result is nice, in my opinion. Just a more greyish theme that's just
easier for the eyes than the brown-orange colours, keeping elegance of
Dust and the amazing willwill mockup essence. Obviously it's still in
developing.

Here's the link to the images:

Here's the link to the original willibex theme:

What do you think about?

Cheers!

While I personally feel they are good by themselves I'm trying to get
away from the heavy outlined "Tango" look.

That's one detail I hoped most people would drop in this little
mash-up/exercise here. :)

my post was not about panel transparency. the panel in my example is not 
transparent at all,

i simply provided a solution for the panel-menubar 
(="Application-Places-System") to be consistent with the panel by making 
the *menubar* transparent with an "empty" pixmap (the whole thing only 
applies to pixmap themes). this solution is more accurate than using the 
same image for both because of the different resizing modes that i 
mentioned in my previous post.

that was what Ken Vermette asked for, i think. hope that explains. by 
the way, does anyone know another solution?

Perhaps I should explain what this really means :-)

https://launchpad.net/~kwwii/+archive is the url for my PPA. A PPA (Personal 
Package Archive) is a place in which I put source code and it gets 
automatically compiled and is then available for others in an easy fashion.

What that means is that if you add these as sources in Synaptic Package 
Manager...

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kwwii/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kwwii/ubuntu hardy main

...you'll be able to install the packages and see when they get updated.

1) start synaptic (System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager)
2) enter password
3) Synaptic opens, add the repository in Settings->Repositories->Third Party 
Software, click on the Add button at the bottom left

Naturally you can also just edit /etc/apt/sources.list with sudo rights and 
then apt-get update to have it check for new packages on the command line.

If I have missed anything or anything is confusing feel free to ask for help.

Agreed. I'm hoping to stimulate ideas now and refine later. Making
changes to accommodate these various sizes.

I suggest staying away from the panel transparency as it doesn't work with all 
applets (some will still have an opaque bg). Maybe one day we will get real 
rgba support going across gtk and the panel and system-tray :-/

Hi all,

I think that for a first try this is pretty good. The highlight gradient at 
the bottom could be less saturated at the first stop and perhaps a bit more 
subtle - I know that is getting picky but it is one very important part that 
we don't want to lose. One very tricky part of making folders is making small 
version which work well and look similar to the large versions. My experience 
has shown that making a small version while making the big version keeps 
things within the bounds of possibility. 

I will try to scrounge up some of the other folder variants we made for Oxygen 
a couple of years ago and post them to the list.

I used a TRANSPARENT MENUBAR on the panel when i created a pixmap theme 
with inverted panels. i know that most themes just have the same image 
file for both the menubar and the panel itself, but that can get messy 
because the panel and the menubar have different resizing behaviors (due 
to panel theming restrictions).
i guess the transparency solution can be used for other panel stuff like 
applets as well. so here it is (sorry for the weird layout, this is an 
old one):

[ubuntu-art] Icon management (was: introduction)

Hi and welcome! Thank you for the work you are already doing, it's so
easy to just take what is there as given without thinking about the
people behind it :)

Well, just today I had to think about how the process of creating and
maintaining icon themes could be improved. I know the following is quite
a big step past upload and voting features, but since you asked ... ;)


= Icon management website =

A central site where registered members can:
- Upload or link sketches and reference material for icons and have
  them associated with said icons
- Upload icon sources as .svg and .xcf. Both 1 icon per file and
  sheets with several sizes in one file should be supported
- View and compare different sets of icons
- Track licensing, contributors and projects using the icons
- Step through revisions
- Manage conflicting edits
- See diffs between svg sources and pixel-edited final images
- Add comments and annotations (= comment with pointer)
- Filter comments and annotations for users and groups
- Manage access rights for users and groups
- See the necessary commands to checkout or update specific icons
  or sets
- Even better: Freely create, checkout and update icon sheets
- Have "screenshots" generated with new icons in place

It doesn't have to be all that at once, every step in this direction
would be nice.

This should obviously be a huge boon for everyone working on icons and
shouldn't be restricted to Ubuntu. Especially with comparing different
icon sets as one of the features.

I have no official position whatsoever, so don't take my word for this.

But it would be nice if ubuntu-art.org had a section for "8.10 artwork
discussion" - where artists could upload their work and get user feedback.
Similar to this list, but I suppose that would get a lot more coverage.

I think some things can come down to artistic license. Certainly if we

looks weird? Like, where is that glow coming from? why the light is
creating that glow in the folder isn't affecting the shadow too?

I also read about your firefox issue. I found a fix in the SlickneSS theme
involving "userchrome.css"; It should be in the Kin Dust theme, just replace
the text colour in the file (bottom of file) with whatever colour you want.

For the menubar, if you use a pixmap, you can just use an image with any
gradient you want. I reccoment SVG for excellent scaling.

I can get more detailed on these, but I really just reccomend downloading a
could other themes with the sttributes you need, and then borrowing code.
Kin Didymous has very similar features (It was inspired by Dust) so it has
almost everythig you're already looking for. Mind you, it's kind of sloppily
coded right now...

(GTK / Userchrome.css, I think)

The different background on the applications/places/system doesn't look bad,
it just wasn't the original intent. Great job on the panel buttons though!
Looks much slicker! I'm toiling away on the Metacity theme (I'm winging half
of this stuff, so I'm a bit slower than I should be).

Anywho, if you want to run rampant and go though the GTK, there's some other
known bugs posted on the Wiki - you seem to know more of what you're doing,
and it would be much appreciated since I have about 4 things on the go. ;)

Great stuff! Thank you!

Re: [ubuntu-art] Dust theme implementation

[Rico Sta. Cruz]

Is there any way we can get some GTK love on this theme? I'm currently lost
at figuring out how to make the menubar have a gradient.

The latest versions are always at:

About the second one - I'm having problems with this too and right now
it is impossible to solve it.

About the buttons : see the attachment. I just used the old code from
New Wave when it was based on clearlooks. 

Anton
style "fix"
{
xthickness = 0
ythickness = 0
bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "shadows/window-bg.png"
}

class "*Panel*" style "fix"

style "panel"
{

xthickness = 1
ythickness = 1

fg[NORMAL] = mix(0.70, lighter(@selected_bg_color), @bg_color)
fg[PRELIGHT] = lighter(mix(0.90, lighter(@selected_bg_color), 
@bg_color))
fg[ACTIVE] = lighter(mix(0.50, lighter(@selected_bg_color), @bg_color))


bg[NORMAL] = "#432E1F" 
bg[PRELIGHT] = shade(2.0, "#432E1F") 
bg[ACTIVE] = shade(1.5, "#432E1F")
bg[SELECTED] = shade(2.0,"#432E1F")


bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "panel/panel_bg.svg"

}

#
#THESE DECLARATIONS MAKE SURE THE PANEL STILL USES PANEL STYLE
#

widget "*PanelWidget*"  style "panel"
widget "*PanelApplet*"  style "panel"
widget "*fast-user-switch*" style "panel"
class "PanelApp*"   style "panel"
class "PanelToplevel*"  style "panel"
widget_class "*Mail*"   style "panel"
widget_class "*notif*"  style "panel"
widget_class "*Notif*"  style "panel"

Ok I didn't want to put any more rules on this but one thing we want to
capture if we hope to go for default is to try to capture that "bottom
glow" on the human folders.

Ken W. might be able to explain it more.

Right now I'm fighting with panels. There are two problems with them;
 - The buttons on the panels are beige, instead of blending in with the
panels.
 - The Applications-Places-System use the wrong background, they should look
like the rest of the panel.

Everything can be downloaded at the WIki now. The GTK itself is a bit of a
piece-together, so I apologize for how messy it is.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Folder Icon challenge.

[Rico Sta. Cruz]

Here:
http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/9104/dusticonsez0.png

Perhaps not a direct answer here, as I was thinking more of my Dust theme
while making this ;) But the idea is to mix:

 - Human's orange
 - The subtleness of the Oxygen icon
 - The sly translucency of both

...while donning a new a more subdued palette, and simply making the orange
a highlight more than a main color. Anyway, I hope you guys like it. :)

-Rico S.


P.S. Sorry Cory, I sent this email to you (and not the list) by mistake.

[ubuntu-art] introduction

[Frank Karlitschek]

Hi,

I would like to introduce myself. I´m running the openDesktop.org  
network with for example GNOME-Look.org, Ubuntu-Art.org and Kubuntu- 
Art.org.

I´m following your discussion about the future of the Ubuntu Artwork  
with a lot of interest.
I think you all are doing a great job with building a really beautiful  
Operating System.

If there is something I can do to help you with your work please send  
me a message.

If you need for example a place for uploading your artwork or  
functionality to discuss or vote on something I would be glad to help  
you.

Keep on rocking. :-)


Cheers
Frank

I can help you but I'm not such a big guru. What do you have problems
