Re: [ubuntu-art] [Breathe] media-flash
2009/3/30 Thorsten Wilms t...@freenet.de The label is rather overpowering, I think. As Cory said, I based the label on a card that I have. I searched for other pictures of SD cards and all looked pretty much alike. I could try make the colors a little more subtle. Also I don't know if I should change the color of the card from black to blue because all the SD cards that I saw have that color. About the 4GB, I see your point and I like the XL idea. One other thing that I could try it's an SD logo although I think this icon it's used for all types of flash cards. The Oxygen set have different types of flash cards (media-flash, media-flash-memory-stick, media-flash-sd-mmc, media-flash-smart-media), maybe we can do something like that but I don't know how this work on GNOME. -- Seba (AKA spg76) http://www.ubuntu-ar.org -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

We should be able to. I added some already. Just add whatever I missed to the flash section on the Submissions page and I'll do the rest. If anyone wonders where we can do things like this (use specific icons where generic ones are usually used) just look at sets like Tango or GNOME. If there's a symlink for it we can change it to a real icon. -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

To Cory: What I meant with overpowering is that the label jumps right in your face and only on the 3rd look one realises that is just the label that sits on the actual object of interest. That's my impression, at least. Maybe use one of these as reference to avoid the issue: http://accushop.at/images/product_images/original_images/SanDisk-SD-Card-2GB.jpg http://www.etc-shop.de/images/produkte/1626-sd-1.jpg http://www.navigations-zubehoer.de/media/images/sd_card_blankgb_big-medium.jpg -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
[ubuntu-art] Note on wiki attachments
This is something I shoulda mentioned a while ago but just kinda went
with. There's a cleaner way to attach images.
Using the Breathe pages as a example, we currently do this:
||accessories-dictionary||{{https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/BreatheIconSet/Submissions?action=AttachFiledo=gettarget=accessories-dictionary2.png}}[[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/BreatheIconSet/Submissions?action=AttachFiledo=gettarget=accessories-dictionary2.svg|SVG]]||SebastianPorta||
||
When we could do:
||accessories-dictionary||{{attachment:accessories-dictionary2.png}}[[attachment:accessories-dictionary2.svg|SVG]]||SebastianPorta||
||
The 2nd is much cleaner and protects against any system changes to
MoinMoin that might break the links. It even warns you of this. :P I'll
go through the Breath page today and change it over but just note this
for the future on whatever pages you are working on.

[ubuntu-art] Ubuntu Powder
Hello, Just food for thought... I like that the list of extra themes in Ubuntu this time around has changed. I'd like to toss out an idea for a new one in Karmic... I could try to avoid stereotyping but it's not worth the effort. I'll just start with a disclaimer saying that I know it's a stereotype and I know it's not valid universally. My suggestion is to include a theme that has a distinctly feminine appeal. I'm not suggesting eye-burning pink (like is included in XP), but choosing a human related palette that says to women, This is for you. Here are some of the thoughts behind my suggestion: * When going to the grocery store with my son and daughter they often pick cereal based on the colour of the box. Yes, this is insane, but my daughter knows that if the box is pink it's for girls and since she's a girl she wants it. I disagree with this article on a few fundamental (but overall minute) points, but just to show there is evidence for this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2007/aug/21/sciencenews.fashion * Most people who use a laptop with a glossy screen hate the glare within a few hours. They spend uncountable time adjusting their screen to get an angle with little glare. However most laptops have glossy screens. Why? Because when you set a glossy and matte screen side by side on the shelf the glossy screen looks better and sells quicker. It has shelf appeal. This is directly related to the idea of fixing up the front of a house before you try to sell it (only then it's called curb appeal). * I've found that if I'm presenting to creative professionals I get better results when I use the ubuntu studio theme. (the login screen for intrepid with the brushes sells very well) They can tell when they see it that it was designed for a designer. My point is that you can impress people at a glance. We could make a theme that would make a typical western women feel comfortable and special, like she was using a computer designed for her. It might help us reach people we don't currently reach. Just an idea. -- Matthew Nuzum newz2000 on freenode, skype, linkedin, identi.ca and twitter -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

At moment I'm optimizing, because I see little things what must be corrected for have a nearly 100% harmony with all in white-tone and same shadows. The best way to see them is the submission-page! ;) If I am happy with it I will contuine with seek forward, replay etc. This are more complicate Icons and will take a while of time. I think all the gtk-media Icons in perfekt state are ready in the second output of the PPA. Maybe the Navigations-Buttons, too. ;) Here I will make (gtk-media finished) some scetchs for talk and decide about... so here we have many many possibilities for Arrows and Refresh. :/ PS: The red record icon I will make as #2 if I haved finished with all the rest.

Key points put forward on this list are: 1) Define guidelines for inclusion 2) Define milestones and deadlines dates 3) Define the decision process I would add ... 4) Define the process to remove a submission 5) Define packaging and support requirements Are there others?
