Don't know whether it is a problem, however. Also there is lot of empty space in your mockup (due to smaller icons). But I like the font colours you've chosen. It looks better than pure white. How about hiding the username and only leave name? Luya Good point. Seems reasonable to me. I would then use the bold font, now used for username, for name and the italic font, now used for name, for additional info (like that that user is already logged in).

Re: Fedora Infinity Update
I don't think RHGB is technically able to use a PNG as background, only a solid color, and with it going to die anyway (hopefully in F9), there is little reason to patch, otherwise, indeed, RHGB would look better with a textured background. Well i'm not counting on it to leave for F9.. And i looked over the c coding of splash.c and it can't be hard to patch it to use a image instead.. but a harder thing might be that the background needs to fit the screen so you need to check and see if the screen is widescreen or not and if it is place the background on that belongs with it. and for: I don't think RHGB is technically able to use a PNG as background not completely true.. if you look at splash.c you will notice that it's just gtk stuff that's being displayed as boot stuff.. so technically you can do anything in the background image.. it only requires patches ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Re: Infinity GDM mockup
An idea (posted in another thread as well) wouldn't it be better to use the rhgb image in GDM as well? it will give fedora a nice uniform look. A few suggestions for this infinity GDM mockup: 1. make the black shadow smaller 2. add fading lines between users (?) 3. add a glow in the users background part (that looks to boring now) or add some of those little stars that are in the background (upper right corner) as well ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Uniform look does not necessarily mean that you will have everything same... The rhgb image IMHO would not work for GDM and vice versa. A few suggestions for this infinity GDM mockup: 1. make the black shadow smaller The shadow could be more transparent... But actually its not black ;-) 2. add fading lines between users (?) Now I don't think I understand what you exactly mean by that. 3. add a glow in the users background part (that looks to boring now) Sometimes simple look is better than glows everywhere, but it can maybe work there, depends on how it is done... or add some of those little stars that are in the background (upper right corner) as well IMHO not. That's too distracting. Feel free to add your mockups, it's actually easy to edit them in inkscape. All sources are freely available, the svgs for the mockups are in the same folder [1] as pngs, the icons used are from the gnome icon set (fedora uses mist as default which inherits these from gnome; you'll have it probably installed) the background is from Infinity Round3 final page [2] and the pictures in the facebrowser are in /usr/share/pixmaps/faces.

Hopefully not the case when upgrading from F7. Then I entered the appearance prefs to choose the new Fedora Infinity background. Some time later it turned out that Nautilus gets very active every 2 secs for a longer time, loading infinity background related files again and again, which made find out it's some sort of animated desktop background. Overhead. Complete overhead. I'm going back to a copy of F7's background or a custom one.

Re: Icon feedback WAS Icon howto?
Well, I've created some icons in the style that I had in mind, so in case any body has any interest in seeing what I've done I've uploaded them to Flickr: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1086/1288722576_adf5e6330e_o.png Only got it working on Pidgin right now, and obviously there aren't very many there, but feedback would be welcome :D I think they suffer a bit from my complete lack of experience!

Re: Fedora Infinity Update
OK, then is out from Art hands and have to be asked on either desktop or devel it such a patch would be accepted. If the patch is accepted, we already have the background PNG. forwarded to devel ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Re: Infinity GDM mockup
2. add fading lines between users (?) Is this technically possible? I ask this because I don't know the limits of GDM, otherwise a lot of possibilities can be imagined, like having a different background for odd and even rows (like 66% transparent white and respectively 75% transparent white) Sorry, i said it wrong. i meant a plain line which ends with some transparency.. kinda hard to explain i mean something like this: http://www.itgsltd.com/img/masthead_fading_line3.gif or http://www.quantumsys.net/qis2006/images/fading_line_v3.jpg Nothing coding wise ^_^ Mark. ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Hi Jonathan, Some answers to your questions: file formats - png for most icons, svg for scalable icons sizes - 16x16, 22x22, 24x24, 32x32, 48x48, the bigger you will probably not need names - http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html and icon-naming-utils package, also there is a usefull utility analyzing the current coverage (you have to have inherited icon theme though, to make use of this) [1] index.theme - http://git.fedoraproject.org/?p=hosted/echo-icon-theme;a=blob_plain;f=trunk/Echo/index.theme;hb=HEAD (example) and http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html path - only for you: ~/.icons/YourThemeName, for everyone /usr/share/icons/YourThemeName. You might also want to look at the Tango Icon theme guidelines [2] or Echo Icon theme status [3] (there are hopefully listed most of the icons you see on a desktop). I am also not sure if this isn't remaking of the high-contrast theme. Its in every default distribution of fedora, so you find it easily.
