Re: [Design-team] Upcoming Fedora 13 Tasks
Good idea Alexander -- I believe that Inkscape is capable of this since it can run in a batch or headless mode (no GUI display) to do PNG exports. Paul For creating this banner i used simple script [1] for batch converting to png files and packaging in tar.gz. This has saved a lot of time. Most of the time took communicating with the translator. Subject associating with translation of the text banner contained about 120 messages. In the future it would be great to integrating text input with a standard translation software (pot / po files).

Hi Catalin, I created romanian variants banner (based on Nicu's comment).

Left felt wrong to me anyway, I just didn't know why... Yes, I think the right side is still the proper placement because of desktop icon positioning. Some thoughts I had, although I'm not sure to what extent these agree with the critiques already received: * I'd definitely like to see quite a bit of blur on the swirls. Right now the swirls really attract my eyes away from where I want to put them on the desktop, especially when I'm locating icons. The transition from the pattern-based background to the swirl seems very abrupt and less like natural lighting or smoke. * The tail ends of the swirls near the top and bottom right similarly seem to abruptly stop. I think that the intent is that these are covered up by other swirls, but the contrast between them may change the way the design's perceived -- at least it does for me. -- Paul W.

Re: [Design-team] Upcoming Fedora 13 Tasks
yes i think right side is more appropriate as we can place icons on left so it will not look good to merge the swirl with them.. i think to move swirl a little bottom will also be cool. what others say??? �...@nz@ From: Nicu Buculei nicu_fed...@nicubunu.ro To: Fedora Design Team design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org Sent: Wed, March 31, 2010 5:51:31 PM Subject: Re: [Design-team] Upcoming Fedora 13 Tasks On 03/31/2010 03:03 PM, Máirín Duffy wrote: On Wed, 2010-03-31 at 14:02 +0200, Fabian A.

Nicu, were you going to try to do a new iteration of the wallpaper based on the comments on Mo's blog? It still needs a lot of work, but I made a bit of a start on this. I think the most tricky thing to adjust was to redo the swirls so they were clockwise to fit the new loading animated cursor. I also tried a different texture but it doesn't have quite the same effect - the one used in the alpha wallpaper is too repetitive a pattern unfortunately. I think the texturing needs work. Also the glows are totally off. I did too sloppy a job of it. That being said, here's a couple variations on the new swirls: http://fedorapeople.org/groups/designteam/Resources/Fedora%20Release% 20Themes/F13/Beta/day.png http://fedorapeople.org/groups/designteam/Resources/Fedora%20Release% 20Themes/F13/Beta/night.png The new swirl shapes are in here: http://fedorapeople.org/groups/designteam/Resources/Fedora%20Release% 20Themes/F13/Beta/30Mar2010-skytrails.svg And the new XCF file is here: http://fedorapeople.org/groups/designteam/Resources/Fedora%20Release% 20Themes/F13/Beta/skytrails14.xcf Note the texture I used is the JPG in that directory.

But is there anything I can do to help ensure it *does* get made by the team? It would be wonderful to see, after the wallpaper gets updated however the team sees fit, a bunch of people helping to prepare the graphics, banners, and media art over the next couple of weeks. That way we have everything lined up to go for the F13 Beta launch, and for the people who are going to give their time to get media produced all over the world. Would it be helpful to file these as tickets and then get them assigned to some of the designers on the team? If you need any help with the banners and such, lemme know! :) Fab You should assume the answer to this is Yes! :-) Stop by #fedora-design on IRC and check in with the artists to find out what needs to be done here. At the very least they can point you to the technical specifications for the banners and explain what needs to be done. -- Paul W.
