newcomer intro
Hello Fedora Art team. I'd like to introduce myself so that I can start getting involved with the Fedora artwork. My name's Klaatu, and I'm a video editor and graphic designer by trade, a Linux geek by hobby. Once fooled into paying real money to get a Photoshop certification, I'm now an avid user and fan/promoter of the GIMP...and slowly coming to terms with Inkscape... My work can be viewed at http://kde-look.org/usermanager/search.php?username=thebadapplesaction=contentsPHPSESSID=d29b46ed99606e7d54f88f2bb1faafe8 http://www.thebadapples.info I'm eager to take on some stuff that needs to get done in the Fedora art world, and I'm excited to get Fedora 9 KDE out of alpha and onto people's computers!! (but most especially mine) That's it. -klaatu -- --- use linux. support free software. subscribe to http://www.thebadapples.info/ogg.xml -BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) mQGiBEdx0pgRBACtFJpxq0mVJTc2msmNnnU3twXMYR4pFx0CUFsw20pOseKL2QsC C4pM5GXIuylRNyXFYyZtmZAR8PwsR1n2ontn8P56/vaKVyJMHkVtgNDZUvm2mwd1 rPQV6Xy6occbc85Z/9da8PD7KXAaWVttioEqVTNzgm5hyVa40TkWeEUXWwCgwK5I 3g1YL1BL4HxlEvmKM8NSIiED/jpEsE+yUEali9nWDElpFxkIE2aDHRAGEF1uziqR y6hlHxljZJPtMJX4qsBWrMsXoXRVr/MtTJjs4uVuVb+XXSF3ZZBFSxseKX2RPsOX EMGe2+QG7Yj17gjtFcEpr4mObexnbQu4A0zEYqS8Q2M1+RZcIqQoDKq3IjkA547b D2RFBACOhNhdV1QewmdtMpv3BzLS+vgOuPvr1coFLlUsL7O9miN7u9xUEUm1B9fh gasVXHDeYPjXOheDAQhFMQKGKH77jWxV2LzsK7K4p+zkJ+gyWHlz5/UM6ANEShMG Clh6Si9uFU7JX2cH4JDMUM5RiyhqfeKe6D1V/hWqFC8tRfqEVrQrU2V0aCBLZW5s b24gKGhhcmtvbmVuKSA8Y2V0eEBzYWludGVuaWQuY29tPohgBBMRAgAgBQJHcdhc AhsDBgsJCAcDAgQVAggDBBYCAwECHgECF4AACgkQ3AJbUYEUGUfYJACfRQTOMTIz bnV0eWIsHDvI4jgDIsMAnAjB9QqMePABh7gWXuUlC/0WQJaltCpTZXRoIEtlbmxv biAoaGFya29uZW4pIDxzZXRoQHVuaXhwb3JuLmNvbT6IYAQTEQIAIAUCR3HSmAIb AwYLCQgHAwIEFQIIAwQWAgMBAh4BAheAAAoJENwCW1GBFBlHrb0AoIw9/n7s9kxt JSk9L2hd+tYJy+PbAJ9oztabVMeDGF4t9jtCJRxHpONPxrQlU2V0aCBLZW5sb24g KFVzZUxpbnV4KSA8Y2V0eEBtYWMuY29tPohgBBMRAgAgBQJHcdjPAhsDBgsJCAcD AgQVAggDBBYCAwECHgECF4AACgkQ3AJbUYEUGUcKzwCcDmuFBTk8AjEIGiIvcZlg ziSbwM8AnAvuCW9BRhPbdaXjmbSCWwcB6jlttCtTZXRoIEtlbmxvbiAoaGFya29u ZW4pIDxoYXJrb25lbkBpbmJveC5jb20+iGAEExECACAFAkdx2OkCGwMGCwkIBwMC BBUCCAMEFgIDAQIeAQIXgAAKCRDcAltRgRQZR0NhAJ4quflhEUf1GSHiJCQ1r5Jv lwtlDwCfWxSs5c/eCozNG2wUFm4Q+MrmZ7C0LlNldGggS2VubG9uIChGYW1pbHlB ZGRyZXNzKSA8c2UudGhAa2VubG9uLmNvbT6IYAQTEQIAIAUCR3HZEwIbAwYLCQgH AwIEFQIIAwQWAgMBAh4BAheAAAoJENwCW1GBFBlHLxoAoKY5vDXhDOD+X7VF/cAk Pe4O9Cc9AJ9B53gPeqvhy2wWpfcfVVlIHUnY0LkCDQRHcdKYEAgAsVqQJlRkiClt DEEnsMUCGExjMsn9aZ5zAd6/C8JCoM9L8HkbUzjQdCLHkiHjO5pdOvoIx6AIrXmT MRlUsEbGtsMEgBruuJmxJL4STCuYtlK6XCPBEZ9NlmOhUm3G8SaC6xJ514zO1jTe F9MSLnd7wudtBWvUDoufzBiamTf+19gfMv/GR/HYYJMI9mogemZupbMiLySKltpA hDRuMpg8mddZCqAxJptsram9FL5tSY9vQyD+Kyei4ZkmZQ3GeF0rjGjFphAXpQba /hJYiadIC8jBy6BBzoYYyWk1gqqkD+/vX9YJkGWhk6VYwIEyTYeHX983lq/rmzDd fMc/GFCWawADBQf+NrJuysLntfjNUFgJJguSOBihlLhdKtuqttUYGvq423Dawa8V fsSeBJLMz03NOLb5hEX4NrP93d/h43I+3RbTxN/ZOE6F1AGIjq84RlENfnKzQFgC WzNlpBtpT6Zja5a+yx03tZxFFzG6aRTnjeL0WEdWSnaF690h+1a2whhte3KTfwVa sNWcVcHMsCFVTbMUpS7sjPihxbNwj2uqvla5x29Dg60X6sp4bOZ6emdpNxGyolcW DqVVptL+KO/oi+HJer/mFKqDAnotzu/i4G68bda21Hp+rih+ZzZvNA+17erIGg5o FKN7AAVYoUrj3x/YFI0PR/yqZ7cIBUUukU7FVohJBBgRAgAJBQJHcdKYAhsMAAoJ ENwCW1GBFBlH8LEAn3XOkJAZr0mFUAIYcs9imzpp74/uAJkBZJscn8NsCjEYZTMn I8vq4uJZiw== =vNQM -END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK- ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Re: Anyone working on Waves GDM/KDM theme?
Luya Tshimbalanga luya_tfz at thefinalzone.com writes: What are the major change? It would be nice if you listed the features changed from these desktop managers. I can't say much about GDM, other than that it was completely rewritten and appears to not use themes at all. For KDM, the documentation for creating themes for the KDE 4 version is here: http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase-workspace/kdm/kdm-themes.html and the referenced DTD is there: http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/4.0/kdebase/workspace/kdm/kfrontend/themes/greeter.dtd?revision=757128view=markup Unfortunately, there was essentially no documentation at all for the KDE 3 KDM themes, so it isn't easy to see what changed from that documentation. The way I ported the F7 and F8 GDM themes to KDM was that I looked at other themes and copied what they used.

Please, only a thinking of mine and not sure this is doable :-/ I thought about one thing: Let's burn sulphur for a day! on the morning time, the sulphur will be starting burning with a small flame which grows over the day and goes down again in the direction of the night ... and then @ night, the boulder of sulphur should glow maybe also with different intensity ... What do you think I'm really sure for me it isn't doable because it's more than a challenge; for the artwork Team it is doable to create the backgrounds ... ... but is this idea kindly? regards gerold ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Self introduction.
Hi all, My name is Gian Paolo Mureddu, a long time Fedora user and fan of the distribution. I've always liked graphics arts, but lack the skill. However, through the use of Open Source tools such as ImageMagick, GIMP, Inkscape and a few others, I have had the chance to experiment with the creative me. I still lack a lot of skill, but I'd like to at least help the artwork team with some opinions and critique (mostly appreciation), and maybe ask a few tips here and there. ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Color management in Fedora 8
Hi list, new here. I'm terribly sorry if this has been asked previously, but it is a bit of a pain searching the archives (unless there is a better way than browsing each month and trying to search within the thread list with the browser's search function. At any rate, I have noticed that Fedora 8 includes a tool for color management, however I don't know how to use icc color profiles with it, etc. As I write these lines I'm reading through what I could find in Google about color management and ICC profiles to get a better understanding of it, still there is not much documentation covering Linux or free software tools. ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
