open to ideas, the shadow thing was more a way to provide contrast.
This one I did not talk to Marina, will ask her input today.

space is good, gives eyes a rest. Anyway, if you wish the rotation I
can ask for new images. Just don't think having more dark will help.
See connman's wired, it's in the same lines.

Could we change pager, ibox, ibar to plain? I did not notice they were
like that by default. Also, likely it's better to have the theme to
specify how it likes it? Or at least a default = theme-chooses, with
specific to override it (ie: tasks)

as for the internal slot inside the battery... got it... but would
totally defeat the purpose of the icon :-(

BTW, I'll try to find a way to remove the visual weight of the inset box.

OK, forget it. I failed here. :)

Mixer was muted when looking at it and connman was not running. n this
case the icons are more or less greyed out. Makes sense. I just failed
to recognize this. See the attached image how it looked to me. Very
much missing contrast. Anyway, failed here. All good. :)

well it looks like a lot of wasted space above/below if the battery gadget
became twice as wide instead and had the battery fill the area... it'd match
better but it'd just be huge then. the battery there would look right on the
kind of panel that macos has where its much smaller than the shelf AND your
battery fills the panel height, not half of it. if we had a 16 pixel high shelf
and it filled.. it'd be good.

well the pager, ibox, ibar, systray and tasks all are inset by default. as the
battery is basically a lump of "black" (well dark grey) it simply would match
the visual style if also inset. just the battery icon - not the whole gadget
inside an inset frame. just the battery icon. :)

I don't like inset too.

Small contrast? Are we talking about the same icons? For me it looks
almost like black in a light gray.

Humn... they have the same colors as the others :-\

At least for me, mixer's is bigger than battery's icons. See attachment.

It seems I'm one of the small group of people running a vertical
shelf. For the battery icon I care not much having it horizontal in a
vertical shelf is fine for me.

I noticed the clock gadget does not work with detorious and a vertical
shelf though. It does with the default theme. Not investigated yet. So
just as heads up.

I mostly agree with avoiding inset. My problem with the current icon
set for mixer and connman in detorious is the to small contrast
between the icon colors and the shelf color. This is also a factor how
fast your eyes are getting tired. The battery icons are better but
they also have a bigger solid area which helps for the contrast.

For the effects and bling stuff. I think we should  concentrade on
soem effects and make them nice but disrupting the work in any way. In
my psychology courses we had some discussions about the balance
between the joy of work (nice effects) and being interupted by such
effects. It surely depends on your target audience. Like media
consumption vs. developer. Still having some nice effects is what
people like to get from e17. If they would not care other WM's like
awesome, ion3, or such wold help them to be even more focused.

So some nice effects, not overloaden and making sure they don't
interrupt the work flow. That would be my suggestions. Note that I
don't have any empirical data at hand to back this up and neither is
it likely that I will spent much time with working on the theme so
please take this only as suggestions. :)

regards
Stefan Schmidt

BTW, I've noticed you use cpu module, Marina did the images and I've
uploaded them to:

http://people.profusion.mobi/~gustavo/detourious/

at various sizes. The idea for CPU module was to be simple and fill
the contents based on CPU percentage.

but the shadows of the mini windows themselves are still top the right and down
from the mini win, BUT there is a hilight on the bottom and right edges as if
light is coming from the bottom right. it makes it logically look like light is
coming from the top-left for the shadow and then either light from bottom-right
for things floating .. which looks wrong, or it makes it look indented. not
talking the pager border itself here, but the windows inside of it.

It looks better when not used with gadget inset :) I guess the bottom
and right white outline is for the effect of making a stronger
contrast. looks ok for shelf pager, but a little odd when larger (in
popup) imo. The new pager still needs some tweaking, generally I'm ok
with it.

actually... on a core i7 i have... you HAVE to manually change cpufreq governor
when doing benchmarking. the kernels ondemand schedulers don't work well and
keep the cpu at the highest clockrate. your benchmarks are all over the shop if
you don't.

on a pentium-m i have, if it clocks at 1ghz for more than 30sec it gets
incredibly slow - most intel cpus self-throttle they DON'T drop clockrate. they
just start throwing in lots of nops. if its throttling at t5 or t7 even at 1ghz
its incredibly slower than at its 600mhz slot, so i have to keep it clocked at
600mhz or a flash anim or compile will make the system unusable. at 600mhz it
never throttles. it has no fan. it's passively cooled.

i had a p4 laptop from dell... that's why i wrote the temp module. once it got
hot it too would start throttling. even if you kept its clockrate low. so once
it got hot enough it was time to take it off your lap and maybe get a fan. at
least you didn't have a mystery as to why it was happening with a nice little
gauge. :)

 Maybe I misunderstand what you mean.

 It's quite hot here in summer, and it is crucial that I keep an
 eye on my CPU's temperature.  There is the difference between "so
 hot things might be unstable" and "so hot the computer will shut
 down for safety".  Knowing that I'm at the first stage means I
 know to not trust things, but can keep using my computer if things
 seem to be fine. Knowing that I'm getting close to the second
 stage means I know when to just shut it down properly, open the
 case, and point big fans at it.

 Only reason why I don't use the E module for those is that it

 Not sure what you mean by "CPU", the only thing I can think of is

 I agree. There used to be a time when CPUs, the firmware and the
 kernel had trouble keeping the hardware out of trouble, but these
 days have long been gone.
 There is really no reason to bother the user with temperature, as he
 will never have to care even if it rises up to 100 deg celsius.

 A cpufreq module is even worse, especially if it supports userspace
 interaction. The linux kernels ondemand governor works good for many
 years now, there are no more senseless slowdowns as there used to be
 some years back. Having a possibility to make the user interfere
 makes him think it might be wise, e.g. setting it to "max
 performance" or similar stupid decisions.

 Don't get me wrong, of course it can be neat for curious users to
 have those things, but I don't think they should be enabled by
 default, and no "standard" user should see them.

 This is exactly what I mean with fixing it in the wrong place.  Here
 (Brazil) is very hot the whole year, I knew this problem from Athlon
 days :-)

 The problem is "what if you're not there to change?". The kernel is
 always there, with the highest priority. There is work to make it
 throttle before more drastic measures.

 anyway, I'm just not doing the gadgets theme work. Feel free to work
 on them with the icons I have. You can base the edc from efenniht as
 the icons are basically the same.

 at least for intel i7 cpu there is throttling module, it's mandatory
 due the turbo boost feature they provide (using a single core will
 allow it to be overclocked)

 it's the cpufreq, it is just the filling of a cpu chip icon Marina
 draw. Check efenniht and it's the same. Not a graph indeed.

 here it's the same thing, proven that cpu "ondemand" governor is the
 way to go, people even talk about removing other governors one day.

 go for it, but I'd at least move them to a "dev" or "geek" module
 that aggregates all these things, a gkrellm like module. The
 problem is that most users will not have a clue what are these
 things and get confused.

 this last part is not just about cpu/temp modules, there are a huge
 number of modules people have no idea what are... "dbus? what's
 this? why should I turn it on? or off?"  Maybe flag these modules
 are "advanced" and just show them in an "advanced" option in modules
 dialog.

I can absolutely understand your argument, and I too think E should
enable users to do whatever they possibly wish.
But having temperature available is just arbitrary information, might as
well show the power-led brightness (I can't t

Really? Don't you use cron or browsers? Browsers can go crazy
depending on some JS from Gmail or Twitter, for instance.

Kernel should see this. The way it's now, the user is supposed to read
his user manual and see if too hot is acceptable or not. Firmware,
hardware and kernel know about this.

And there are always quirks for udev, in the case it lacks somethings. :-)

this is more the work of a tuning app, not a shelf gadget that is

it's better to work on this than to work around such controls with
gadgets + human intervention. For this I can even agree to have a
module enabled by default that is always on. But kernel is doing a
great work for me for years, maybe you can try it?

That's the mistake GNOME makes, thinking that standard users should not
see stuff.  In E17 land, we let people turn on advanced stuff.  So the
theme should cater for that to.

Plus - people want their red speed stripes and self compiled gentoo
distros, thinking it gives them MORE POWAH! grunt grunt grunt.  So no
need to take away the advanced knobs, even if they no longer really
help.

I agree. There used to be a time when CPUs, the firmware and the kernel 
had trouble keeping the hardware out of trouble, but these days have 
long been gone.
There is really no reason to bother the user with temperature, as he 
will never have to care even if it rises up to 100 deg celsius.

A cpufreq module is even worse, especially if it supports userspace 
interaction. The linux kernels ondemand governor works good for many 
years now, there are no more senseless slowdowns as there used to be 
some years back. Having a possibility to make the user interfere makes 
him think it might be wise, e.g. setting it to "max performance" or 
similar stupid decisions.

Don't get me wrong, of course it can be neat for curious users to have 
those things, but I don't think they should be enabled by default, and 
no "standard" user should see them.

If I'm not there to change, then my desktop is not doing anything to
heat it up too much.  B-)

And it's not just the drastic measure, AMD processors at least have a
"not hot enough to shutdown, but may not be stable" temperature.  On
hot days I tend to go over that when compiling big projects.  On really
hot days, I know there's no point trying, as it will likely just over
heat.  It's knowing what the temperature is NOW, even if it's not high
enough to be a problem YET, that is important for planning such things.
If it's too hot, and my computer might melt, time to go do something
else.

The point being that there are good reason why might need to know what
temperature their computer internals are running at.  Like to see if
they might need better cooling, or if their recently installed
better cooling was worth it.

It's like power - how do you know if your power supply provides enough
power for your computer?  As far as I know, there is no monitoring of
that.  The only way you can tell is if your computer does odd things,
which may be caused by lots of stuff.  Your CPU being in the "not hot
enough to shutdown, but hot enough to be unreliable" range would cause
the exact same problem.

Would be good if there was some sort of intelligent system that
monitored all that, then popped up a warning "your computer getting too
hot" or "your computer is close to drawing too much power" so ordinary
people might have a clue.  Sadly, the information is not there.

Just upgraded to an AMD 4 core, and more memory.  Just started summer.
Might be time to invest in better computer cooling.  Can't afford to
right now, and this is my traditional slow work period.  B-(

I'm not doing theme work.  I was just curious why you think it's not
needed.

Actually, I said long ago that I'd like E17 modules that do the sort of
thing that gkrellm does, so that I can get rid of it.  People just said
to use gkrellm, or that it's too hard.  Gkrellm has it's limits, and I
don't think it's too hard.  I've just never gotten around to doing it,
so it's still on my TODO. lol

This is exactly what I mean with fixing it in the wrong place.  Here
(Brazil) is very hot the whole year, I knew this problem from Athlon
days :-)

The problem is "what if you're not there to change?". The kernel is
always there, with the highest priority. There is work to make it
throttle before more drastic measures.

anyway, I'm just not doing the gadgets theme work. Feel free to work
on them with the icons I have. You can base the edc from efenniht as
the icons are basically the same.

at least for intel i7 cpu there is throttling module, it's mandatory
due the turbo boost feature they provide (using a single core will
allow it to be overclocked)

it's the cpufreq, it is just the filling of a cpu chip icon Marina
draw. Check efenniht and it's the same. Not a graph indeed.

here it's the same thing, proven that cpu "ondemand" governor is the
way to go, people even talk about removing other governors one day.

go for it, but I'd at least move them to a "dev" or "geek" module that
aggregates all these things, a gkrellm like module. The problem is
that most users will not have a clue what are these things and get
confused.

this last part is not just about cpu/temp modules, there are a huge
number of modules people have no idea what are... "dbus? what's this?
why should I turn it on? or off?"  Maybe flag these modules are
"advanced" and just show them in an "advanced" option in modules
dialog.

Maybe I misunderstand what you mean.

It's quite hot here in summer, and it is crucial that I keep an eye on
my CPU's temperature.  There is the difference between "so hot things
might be unstable" and "so hot the computer will shut down for
safety".  Knowing that I'm at the first stage means I know to not trust
things, but can keep using my computer if things seem to be fine.
Knowing that I'm getting close to the second stage means I know when to
just shut it down properly, open the case, and point big fans at it.

I don't think either of those things is "fixed in the kernel".  Only
reason why I don't use the E module for those is that it could never
show proper results for my motherboard, not even for my last
motherboard.  lol

Not sure what you mean by "CPU", the only thing I can think of is the
cpu and cpufreq modules.  As a developer they provide important info to
me.  On the other hand, I don't use cpu, coz it does not provide a
graph, and I use cpufreq, coz I have not found anything that does
provide a graph.  lol

I don't see why these things should not exist for desktops or laptops.
Certainly for me at least, they should exist, AND should have more
functionality.

just saying that the full width menu separator is quite unique. go on

the desk image needs a top and/or bottom separator when having more

I know this case and your opinion on this matter. Let's say you're
hurting a lot the common case due a  very rare corner case. Usually
when these things happen you ask someone to help ;-)

Anyway, I could direct you to dozen websites explaining why it is bad,
particularly similar icons (you suggest "holder icon"), as they become
noise. But I'm not in the mood to get into another discussion for
nothing. So do as you wish, no fights this time :-)

BTW, I have Marina's icon for CPU & Temp, but I don't use them and I

sure - agreed. e17 theme tho isn't changing much, so if you just merge in the
missing bits by copying edc/images from default - that'd work for now.

i do see your point about all the icons adding to work - BUT... here's my take:
it's good to have them. here is an example that MOST people can't identify with
as they have never been there.

i moved to japan. i didn't read, speak or write japanese. as its not using latin
alphabets.. it's actually IMPOSSIBLE to even understand what a menu says - you
can't guess. its unintelligible squiggles and lines. i literally would spend
ages hunting through phone menus trying everything to finally find the setting
to change to english. at one time i was in front of a mac... in japanese.. but
unlike the phones... it HAD ICONS. i quickly hunted down settings and could
change things even without changing language - the icons were absolutely KEY to
that. i know  most people might not agree - they may never have had that
experience before, but i'm REALLY REALLY REALLY keen on having them for exactly
this reason. if everyone spoke the sample language and used the same alphabet
world-wide it'd be a moot point and icons would only be a prettification.

(as a side note. i noticed when i started learning kanji (chinese characters) i
became very fast at reading them - even when zooming past on a train, i knew
what train station it was - i read the kanji because they were basically icons.
they were immediately recognizable much like the icons we use for toilets
world-wide and many other things, so icons speed up use once you become
familiar with them).

now i DO agree that we have many icons that don't convey meaning very well and
we should address that. really bad ones we should remove and/or replace with a
holder icon so we know it needs work. if you see some of the worst ones - just
do that. we can work our way through over time - this doesn't have to all be
done for a release, but it'd be nice.

Yes, otherwise it may never catch up. If everyone focus on one theme
it will easily replace default.edc

One thing is that our themes are bit extensive, and it would be good
to have new icons as well. But we are still trying to do every icon
for everything, then lots of work.

Marina, gnome, kde, macos and even windows removed small icons from
menu and most lists. I've discussed this with you already, it's hard
to see the icons (except for you, eagle eyes ;-P), it's hard to do
them. By removing some icons that are basically meaningless we could
help that, leaving few icons to be reworked to provide fresh look (ie:
most configuration icons means nothing, try to figure out what those
key, window et al mean without reading the labels).

speaking of themes... detorious is quite nice - i'd consider it for a default.
it'd need more things in it that cover what it misses (from default). are you
thinking it's worth fixing up and moving to (just require that it is fixed up
to handle all things as default has a requirement to do that).

What you mean? it starts fading around 20px on each side, while win95
is a hard end.  I still think that separators should even be lighter
in color, with more vertical space. Will look nice, I can try it after
I'm done with connman (finishing it right now)

not really liking this one. the full width menu separator is a really
