Worked for me... except my printouts are a bit small. Not sure if you
did anything different from what Ms. Duffy did on the F8 media to make
bitmap labels, but my discs came out like this:

Thanks... Gotta have the media labels. I like using a 1 GB flash drive,
but Live CD discs are easy to hand out.

I have used ImageMagick convert function.


There is a way to use the command line to export PNGs from inkscape.
Type inkscape --help at a command line for more details. -- ian

Not intentional. I have saved the fine in plain SVG and used vaccum which leads
to that unexpected result.

Yes, I have not got time to downsampling them.

The concept is not fully complete hence the reason to get the svg version
available for edit.

Hi,

the funny effects you talk about is the missing sulphur stone in some of
the images, or is it intentional? However, opening the affected SVGs in
inkscape results in correct image, so exporting to PNG should work OK.

Next, it is a real huge set of wallpapers and unless we could do some
kind of diffs between the wallpapers it is far to much for being default
wallpaper set (at least for Live CDs), IMHO.

I also noticed the PNGs included are not sharp. How did you get them
from the SVGs? Direct export from SVG (in inkscape) does not show this
rather low quality rendering.

And now to the general idea. I am not opposed to the idea itself, also
representing Sunday as 0 is interesting, since it is start of the week
for some countries, while Monday (in your counting number 1) in another
ones :) But, I don't like very much how it is implemented. When I looked
at thumbnails (in nautilus) at first I thought that the circles are part
of the flame (you know, when part of a flame separates from the rest and
flow upwards) which I thought was great idea, but actually seeing that
it is more or less plain circles sort of disappointed me.

Just my 2 cents,
Martin

Explanation for the doodle.

2008-03-22 Thread Frank Murphy
Figured I would explain the doodle, 
why I called it test f10test.

I don't want everyone to think me too 
presumptuous.

With the 3d end of graphics,
it will take a bit longer to do,
to be fully true to fedora policy.

Model(s) will have to be created,
time consuming

Rendering time: complexity\quality depending.
& to me, programs new
(Hence the "doodles", 
rather than create & be out of tune)

Maybe the art-team could throw ideas,
a bit earlier if 3d is thought useful.

Example "World\Planet\People" theme(s),

Giza\Bedouin, Great Wall\Khan(chin), Ice Berg\Inuit, etc..

how many 3d members, current\aspiring?

Hope the hole hasn't got deeper.





Frank

Experimenting with weekly Wake theme

2008-03-22 Thread Luya Tshimbalanga
Incorporating the idea originally from Shoowa theme, I added a subtle
effects on Wave theme background to represent the number of day where
nothing means Sunday, one small round is Monday and more. I have used a
vaccum on some svg which caused a funny effects.

Note: the file is really huge (46 MB) so I have tarred them instead of
putting each image separately.
