I was thinking that a lot of folks block on the disc designs, folks who are holding launch events and magazines and such. And the disc designs could be included in the promo kit. Maybe we should hear a word about this from the people using the promo kit and the CD labels to see if the dates are OK Say instead something like "Tentacles" or "GNOME Curves" (with a Fedora touch) from the default selection of wallpapers and I am sold. +1 Something along those lines with a small Fedora logo is what I was thinking "basic" would be. My first reaction was like this: no matter how low is my creativity at this particular point, I should be able to put together a few curly stripes and an very discrete logo but then got struck by an idea: the basic theme can be an extremely simplified and stylized shape illustrating the base metaphor as the complex theme. For example a basic F7 theme would be a big rounded blob (the balloon) and a few wavy stripes (the sky). -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com Cool Fedora wallpapers: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/wallpapers/ Open Clip Art Library: http://www.openclipart.org my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

metacity theme mockup
I was doodling in Inkscape and came up with this: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MairinDuffy/Sandbox I made the buttons wide so they would be easy to click on; I gave them narrow margins with the titlebar to give the feeling that they were quite large to make them feel more clickable. I'm not quite happy with the indented button; not quite sure what's wrong with it. Anyway the Inkscape SVG is there, if anybody is interested in working on it or using parts of it feel free. ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Fedora 8 Artwork, FedoraForum discussion summary
Hi folks, week is over and as I ran by some interesting ideas at FedoraForum in a thread I made for purpose of Fedora 8 Artwork, and as there are a lot of noise compared to signal, I though it would be good to write a brief summary of the ideas. Idea 1: Evolving Flying High It started as a photo of a biplane and evolved to photo space ship, even a planete wallpaper was suggested. My opinion about this is that it is not a bad idea but I would prefer more abstract theme for Fedora 8, so maybe a space/planet could be used as a basis for more abstract design. Idea 2: Swimming Deep This idea started as a joke, but I think it's very good idea and it could be done nicely abstract. The philosophy behind could be, that Fedora 6 was about evolving, Fedora 7 about reaching highs and Fedora 8 thus could be about reaching deeps. Just show the world that Fedora explores every corner of the world. Two nice photos could server as basis for abstract design: http://www.bestqualitywallpapers.com/Nature/Underwater.jpg http://www.duiops.net/seresvivos/galeria/tiburones/ph-11575.jpg Idea 3: Ocean Its blue and it symbolises infinity. Idea 4: Moon Well, blue sky and big moon on it - does it sound bad? IMO not at all. And example photos: http://www.zianet.com/ZYLOO/luna1.JPG http://www.zianet.com/ZYLOO/luna3.JPG Idea 5: a button set http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=808142 this just says it all.

Re: Nodoka - Fedora Theme Draft
I put together today's last batch of sketches. As Nicolas suggested I tried to explore the f style of the horizontal etches, but even though I like the idea I really don't like how the buttons look like. Also, I made two set of sketches with thin borders, one with buttons that that I like most and one with buttons I was suggested to use on fedoraforum. I still stay with the colour idea, however if a general opinion would be to stick with blue buttons I can use them... And I made first sketch of top panel, and added it to the picture with my favourite buttons. I started with yellow-orange hue of the panel, as it nicely matches blue hues, but I wasn´t content with it and returned to light blue... Comments welcome.

To give my 2pence on these ideas, I like the thicker border, it seems easier to resize - something to grab hold of. As for the icons, the ones at the bottom centre that fill the bar without the effects go well with the saturation of the title bar colour and the background wallpapers.

Ok, so I did hopefully last batch of icons. This time I only played with coulours. The result is on the wiki page [1]. As I think about what Nicolas said, maybe one of the set could be used for standard state of the buttons and another (probably one of those more colourful) for highlighted version... I also made a blue version, and it seems that it looks better than the rest...

Re: Nodoka - Fedora Theme Draft
Oke lets start with what i like :) - Thin borders are good - window decorations itself (without the buttons) are good What i don`t like - all the buttons you made so far.. The reason for the buttons.. they somehow just doesn`t seem to fit in the decoration itself. i don`t really know how to make that better.. It seems to me, that the final stage of WM theme mockups is drawing to an end, as I have finally drawn some buttons I quite like :) not really unless your not gonna make a taskbar and menubar stuff. 2007/6/10, Martin Sourada <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Well, another I made another pack of sketches. This time I focused on the variant with thin borders, so I left the first one untouched. There are different buttons in the thin borders variant as I wanted to test how will it look. I made three another button sketches, however I most like the current one and I am not at all satisfied with the last two - it was just a test... I updated the wiki page [1], so you find all I just talked about there. It seems to me, that the final stage of WM theme mockups is drawing to an end, as I have finally drawn some buttons I quite like :) What do you think of it? Comments on thin/thick border, button style, colouring, usability, etc are more than welcome. Also, I noticed Nicolas's mail about Alison metacity theme, and the way how the buttons are handled there made me think, whether it would be better if the buttons were done that way... I will investigate this case later.

Re: Nodoka - Fedora Theme Draft
Well, another I made another pack of sketches. This time I focused on the variant with thin borders, so I left the first one untouched. There are different buttons in the thin borders variant as I wanted to test how will it look. I made three another button sketches, however I most like the current one and I am not at all satisfied with the last two - it was just a test... I updated the wiki page [1], so you find all I just talked about there.

Re: WIP - Fedora 8 theme
Well since everyone is dumping his preferences I've been a longtime supporter of the Metacity Alison theme: - based on the original bluecurve with nice big easy-to-hit flat buttons (not the small 3-d stuff that looks like a cheap chinese plastic gadget, and is difficult to target) - very light gradient that does not make text hard to read - light pleasing titlebar texture (not something you notice in screenshots, something you notice in everyday use) - colors synced with the gtk theme -- Nicolas Mailhot signature.asc Description: Ceci est une partie de message numériquement signée ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

It is then simply inserting code into the wiki page to link to said image.
