I disagree. It looks just like a blueprint, which is much more realistic than blue ink on old yellowed paper. Blueprints fit perfectly in the old technology concept. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blueprint I eased the wording, indeed, it fir the blueprint definition but I think it is a departure for the original steampunk target. And I don't want to dismiss it, I want more of a confirmation/infirmation about it being on the right track. For everybody - I tried to put some blue back in the Gears concept: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/F10Themes/Gears#head-7ac71eb00a599f5ef6eb0f252c2bf35d01a228d5 -- 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

Right now we have problem with KDM, which needs proper backrgound image, and svgs posted in wiki can't be rendered properly by kdm's svg engine Then can you use PNGs? But, if you need to use SVGs I bet that opening them in Inkscape and resaving them as Plain SVGs would make the rendering by the kdm's SVG engine better. However, it uses a fair bit of advanced effects like blur, which takes quite long time to render, so I'd advice you to use PNGs instead. Btw. I might be able to do a sketch for KDM (real theme is a no-go for me, I don't have neither experience nor KDM) if you are interested, I just need to know, how much you are able to do :) Martin ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
[F10 theme proposal] Gears Round 1
With a bit of impulse from Martin, here is the formal proposal for a F10 theme: Gears http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/F10Themes/Gears The focus of this theme is technology: technology advancement is one of Fedora's main goals and gears are a classic metaphor for technology. A secondary message of the theme is the golden era of Fedora: we are so confident in our distro that we think Fedora 10 is (will be) the distro marking the start of the golden age of Linux (and, of course, the best Fedora yet. The current implementation uses a steampunk look and feel, it is a good technology symbol, a large playing field for our imagination and also something quite original for a Linux desktop (for for any desktop). -- 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

Well Enlightenment as a desktop environment has been using gears as a symbol for a long time now. OK, we may not be the firs, maybe exclude the original wird from the talk. BTW, those are gears or a sun? (sun - light - enlightenment) Do they use gears in desktop art? That seems to be right. They look somewhat similar but they probably denote sun rather than gears.
