Not sure exactly to what you refer, but I'm going to guess you're refering
to the color scheme settings,
Kcontrol - Appearance  Themes - Colors
(please correct me if I'm wrong), and these, as well as most, defaults are
in kde-settings.

I'm referring to this:

Look in the upper-left corner. That's the selection box (rubber band).

You can't change it's color from Kcontrol. (at least not on a vanilla 
kde)

Here (http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=16962) you can 
find a patch which among other things add a modern semi-transparent 
rubber band to kde. What I wanted to know is how Fedora does this? I 
couldn't find any patch in those srpms.

Maybe it's a patch to X? The rubber band looks the same in GNOME as in 
that screenshot of KDE.

Re: Nodoka Theme - Metacity Development

2007-06-27 Thread Martin Sourada
No bugs found so far, I experienced no problems with using it, so I
adjusted some parameters made the code clean and released first stable
release: 0.0.2 [1]. Hope you'll enjoy it. I also made a rpm [2], though
quickly so the spec is not very good, but works all right.

Thanks,
Martin

Well I saw this on a default fedora (7) kde install. The rubber band 
looked like the one from gnome and it was blue :).;

Your paper sketch inspired me... So I quickly drawn in Inkscape an idea
of what I'd like... It's not very nice IMHO but seems good for wallpaper
if polished... I exported 16:10 png [1] and saved 4:3 svg [2] and put
both on the wiki.

Sure, it is quite detailed. Some of the insirational wp's I've seen
recently are busy which is probably why.

It's looking good, reminds me of the Mac Aqua one. I'll have another
play soon. Thanks for your input :)

That's funny the sketch reminded me of celtic/high middle age metalwork,
and you took it in another direction entirely. IMHO your idea is much
too blue, and whats worse the same blue as previous fedora wallpapers.
If we have to keep monochrome at least try to change the blue!

Hm... it could be because I like this very kind of blue... I didn't want
it to have the same blue like the previous fedoras, but it seems as I
was choosing the colour with colour picker that I have chosen it... But
as I said, it's more an idea than a wallpaper...

As you may know, we have an open process [1] for submitting artwork 
proposals for Fedora 8.


Thank you Nicu for reminding us about the deadlines and driving this 
forward!


I have been hesitant to start really driving this because I was hoping I 
could get you all a more firm answer on whether or not the artwork would 
definitely be considered as the default theme. Since I have not been 
able to do that, and we are quickly running out of time, here is the one 
thing I can promise you: I will definitely find a way to package and 
make easily installable at least some of the artwork we come up with if 
it isn't considered for the default artwork. Let's just focus on coming 
up with the best theme we can.


The *tentative* deadline for the first round [2] is approaching fast, in 
one week and we don't have yet *any* formal submission. With a tight 
schedule for F8 I think this date may slip, but only with a few days.


I've slipped the schedule a bit: I added revised dates and the full set 
of Art Team milestones for F8 to the wiki page Nicu set up earlier:


http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/F8Themes

So the new deadline for the first round, which is just are the concept 
proposals, is Wednesday, July 11th.



So do not be afraid and send your proposals, Fedora needs you!


+1 Also, if there was a proposal from the Fedora 7 process that didn't 
make it that you liked, feel free to propose it for F8.


I also understand some of may not be very happy with what happened at le 
last release, but I believe we learned a lot from that experience and 
can do better this time.


Yep, let's focus on coming up with the best artwork we can and blow 
everyone away with it. :)

I like the idea, but you're going to have to be careful with the

as I saw the first image there. I'm hardly alone in feeling that way, so
images like that are best avoided.

Sure, a sharp perspective is only one of the ideas there for 
representing the idea. The rendering would have to be done carefully if 
that approach was taken. The ocean horizon pictures should not have that 
effect, for an example of a different approach suggested there.
