Re: Fanza Icon Set
Hi Nick, This probably isn't the best list for this discussion though, to be fair, I don't know which one would be...

I'm not an expert on such matters, but I'll tell you what I know. First, though GNOME's choice of icon theme has not changed for 3.0, that theme has undergone some fairly significant changes of late. There have been some major stylistic innovations over the past couple of releases, and the icon set has also received spiffy high-res versions of its icons (examples: [1], [2]). Another new development for this release is the addition of symbolic icons [3]. Faenza is a nice icon set, and I know that several of the GNOME design crew really like it. At the same time, GNOME's icon theme integrates with the desktop in a number of ways which mean that it's unlikely that we'd want to switch. These include: * Colour palette - matches our GTK themes (both Clearlooks and Adwaita), etc. * Programmatic integration of symbolic icons - they can be scaled and coloured (which, among other things, is good for a11y) * High res is needed for GNOME Shell I'm sure I will have got some of this wrong, but I think that's roughly where we are. Please feel free to continue this discussion with me off-list, or drop by #gnome-design to have a more open discussion.

Is there an opportunity here to engage people outside of the Gnome/Tango sphere and get some nice, seemingly well liked, icons included with the new theme and the new gnome shell? Hi Nick! The module proposal period for 3.0 ended on October 25th [1]. We're entering UI freeze in just a month. There are however icons we need help with for gnome-icon-theme that's blocking on GNOME 3. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=615954 1. http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointNinetyone - Andreas ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
Looking for a volunteer: gnome-system-monitor porting
Hey, we are shipping a single gtkmm application in the meta-gnome-core moduleset: gnome-system-monitor. It is nice to showcase our C++ bindings in this way, and a system-monitor is certainly a utility that one would expect as part of the desktop. Unfortunately, it is still using the 2.x bindings, and there has been no action at all to port it to the bindings that we are actually going to include in GNOME 3. So, the release team is looking for a volunteer to take on porting gnome-system-monitor to gtk3. This should not be all that much work, and there are some patches in bugzilla already. Please coordinate with the maintainers before diving in (I've cc'ed them here). Thanks for any help, Matthias ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

I'll see what I've gotten myself into when I take a closer look at the code tomorrow. As andre said on IRC, we should use the following bugs to avoid duplicate work. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id=625883,627568,632799,622928,613752 Cheers, Chris > -Joseph > > -- > Joseph Pingenotjos...@pingenot.org > ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
