Re: [ubuntu-art] Re: Big Updates for Flight 2
quote who=leon I have a bad experience testing breezy. This time I'm going to stay dry until dapper released. Maybe you can post your problem to ubuntu user group, someone might have similar experience. Breezy was crazier than Dapper. Give it a few weeks and upgrade. In the mean time, you can try the gfxboot just by using the CD. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2006: Dunedin, New Zealand http://linux.conf.au/ When's the last time you heard of the police having to intervene at an antiquarian book riot? - Raph Levien -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

But I'm not a member of the art team (yet) too :) Yes, they do look like Vista, but don't forget that we've been imitating Windows for ages! This really is not true, and not the optimal course for Free Software. The GNOME project is specifically avoiding imitation, emulation or cloning of the Windows user interface *where it matters*, because it does not encourage innovation, and users react negatively to an interfaces that looks like what they're familiar with, but does not *work* like what they're familiar with. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2006: Dunedin, New Zealand http://linux.conf.au/ Slashdot seems to run a lot of obituaries.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Dapper Splash continues...
quote who=Viper550 Time for another splash screen idea, this one is much simpler looking for the eyes and is less busy. Lots of lines - it's still very busy. :-) You have to be cautious of the detail in an image such as this, particularly the lines, because they can contribute to an ugly moire effect on some monitors. If you go back over the previous splash images we've done, I'm sure you'll notice that we've gone for smooth, simple splashes.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Tango
quote who=Matthew Nuzum The Tango team is largely (?/partially?) made up of Novel Desktop developers. I think that visual aesthetics is one place where Linux distributions *should* differentiate themselves. Be careful embracing Tango at the expensive of Ubuntu's distinctive look. a) We don't have a distinctive look for our icons at the moment (we ship the GNOME icons by default right now). b) It is a *massive* amount of work for not a huge amount of gain. c) How do completely different looking 'Linux' [1] desktops help users? - Jeff [1] remember, it's not just Linux! -- UbuntuBelowZero in Montreal! http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBelowZero How was the opera?

Re: [ubuntu-art] Thoughts on the calendar
quote who=volvoguy I think the best we can offer Canonical at this point is the artwork that's on art.ubuntu.com, and hope their own graphic artist has done enough to pick up our slack. Given all of our challenges, I don't think we should feel bad about that for this release. If we don't have gigabytes of eye candy to show them by the Dapper Duck release though, we should definitely consider ourselves slackers. :o) Don't be too concerned about results for this release - art team was never intended to be on the critical path for default artwork. However, the most important thing you guys should be looking at is the calendar backgrounds. We've got lots of room for art team proposals for those. :-) October begins very soon! - Jeff -- EuroOSCON: October 17th-20thhttp://conferences.oreillynet.com/eurooscon/ GNOME, launched specifically to counter a threat to our freedom, is the free software project par excellence. - Richard Stallman -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
