Re: Nodoka - Fedora Theme Draft
Seems I just finished 1st stage. Mockup is more or less complete. Metacity, GTK, notify, panel - all sketched. I see the future development more or less this way: 2nd Stage (starting now) Gathering comments, suggestions, improvements, additional sources etc. to the mockup. I hope some will join my efforts in this stage (as some have already done by their valuable comments and suggestions) and help me polish the mockup... 3rd Stage Creating the real themes. I can learn how to do Metacity / KWM / GTK / QT(4) / Libnotify / etc theming, but I would be glad if someone who already has the "know-how" help me with creating it. Final Stage Polishing, final adjustments, testing.

Re: Nodoka - Fedora Theme Draft
looking good so far no critics from me this time. 2007/6/16, Martin Sourada <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hello, I created more or less completed sketch of widgets and added bottom panel. I am well aware that some of the widgets are just too big and need to be smaller in the final version (most notably scroll bar and "equaliser"). So only notification is left to sketch. After I make it I think I will move to the second stage - adjusting and polishing - and would welcome everyone willing to help by comments, suggestions, direct contribution, etc. Thanks to your comments, Martin References: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MartinSourada/NodokaDraft ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Hi, so I did think it, good work! JJM 2007/6/14, Martin Sourada <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: On request from Jiri Jakub Masek I made new set of buttons (I made the right corner of a window clickable, so that focus can be assigned by clicking on it), on request from some people even make yet darker the "dark side", and made a very incomplete sketch of widgets (currently incomplete menu, toolbars, status bar and progress bar). I don't have much free time lately, so the progress will be rather slow... Please bear in mind that these are first sketches and colouring is meant to be adjusted after majority of widgets is prepared to better fit together with the rest and to look nice to as many people as possible. And the stage of adjusting I would like to be more community driven - i.e. more direct contributors and more "prereviewers" and I would also consider it final stage before the real theme making will start.

What I like about it is how nice the window caption transits softly to menu, what I don't like (generally) are rounded bottom corners of windows. Also the hover action on menu items is very useful and IMO nice.

I put together today's last batch of sketches. As Nicolas suggested I tried to explore the f style of the horizontal etches, but even though I like the idea I really don't like how the buttons look like. Also, I made two set of sketches with thin borders, one with buttons that that I like most and one with buttons I was suggested to use on fedoraforum. I still stay with the colour idea, however if a general opinion would be to stick with blue buttons I can use them... And I made first sketch of top panel, and added it to the picture with my favourite buttons.

To give my 2pence on these ideas, I like the thicker border, it seems easier to resize - something to grab hold of. As for the icons, the ones at the bottom centre that fill the bar without the effects go well with the saturation of the title bar colour and the background wallpapers. The rollover effect could be that shown in the bottom-right image. Keep up the good work! -- ..// seawolf //..

Ok, so I did hopefully last batch of icons. This time I only played with coulours. The result is on the wiki page [1]. As I think about what Nicolas said, maybe one of the set could be used for standard state of the buttons and another (probably one of those more colourful) for highlighted version...

Nope, I am drawing finally to the Window Manager mockup end. AFAIK in GNOME menubar is part of GTK theme...

Oke lets start with what i like :) - Thin borders are good - window decorations itself (without the buttons) are good What i don`t like - all the buttons you made so far.. The reason for the buttons.. they somehow just doesn`t seem to fit in the decoration itself. i don`t really know how to make that better.. It seems to me, that the final stage of WM theme mockups is drawing to an end, as I have finally drawn some buttons I quite like :) not really unless your not gonna make a taskbar and menubar stuff. 2007/6/10, Martin Sourada <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Well, another I made another pack of sketches. This time I focused on the variant with thin borders, so I left the first one untouched. There are different buttons in the thin borders variant as I wanted to test how will it look. I made three another button sketches, however I most like the current one and I am not at all satisfied with the last two - it was just a test... I updated the wiki page [1], so you find all I just talked about there. It seems to me, that the final stage of WM theme mockups is drawing to an end, as I have finally drawn some buttons I quite like :) What do you think of it? Comments on thin/thick border, button style, colouring, usability, etc are more than welcome. Also, I noticed Nicolas's mail about Alison metacity theme, and the way how the buttons are handled there made me think, whether it would be better if the buttons were done that way... I will investigate this case later.

Re: Nodoka - Fedora Theme Draft
Well, another I made another pack of sketches. This time I focused on the variant with thin borders, so I left the first one untouched. There are different buttons in the thin borders variant as I wanted to test how will it look. I made three another button sketches, however I most like the current one and I am not at all satisfied with the last two - it was just a test... I updated the wiki page [1], so you find all I just talked about there. It seems to me, that the final stage of WM theme mockups is drawing to an end, as I have finally drawn some buttons I quite like :) What do you think of it? Comments on thin/thick border, button style, colouring, usability, etc are more than welcome. Also, I noticed Nicolas's mail about Alison metacity theme, and the way how the buttons are handled there made me think, whether it would be better if the buttons were done that way... I will investigate this case later.

yea you can start right away ^_- i will probably need to look over the same documentation aswell..

Re: Nodoka - Fedora Theme Draft
i`m looking forward to the mockups just curious.. on what window manager are you gonna test this first? kde or gnome? 2007/6/9, Martin Sourada <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Ok, so I reworked a little the buttons and added (nearly) borderless variant - it could save a lot of space for people with 800x600 resolution. I am still not satisfied with the buttons, yet it seems they does look better and less candy/cartoonish. And the borderless variant seems that will look better, so I consider switching to it with next pack of sketches.

i`m currently a "KDE Folk" and i like it. but i can hardly be a kde folk reprensetative.. i use both kde and gnome when i want it.. sometimes even another window manager (rare) and i`ve made a new mockup of my theme.. i think i fixed the issue i had with the buttons.. perhaps a good idea for you aswell?

Re: Nodoka - Fedora Theme Draft
looking good!! keep up the good job may the best one win ^_^ for the suggestions.. the only think i can think of right now is to make the minimize, maximize and close buttons loss candy/toy like.. btw no taskbar? 2007/6/9, Martin Sourada <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi, as Mark did I also start a new thread concerning a theme I started to make. I think the theme should be composed of window manager theme, gtk/qt/qt4 widgets theme and notification theme (I hope I didn't missed anything). It is aimed to match echo icon theme, to be easy for eyes, and to be easy to use. I created a draft wiki page under my personal page [1]. Every comments, suggestions etc. are more then welcome. Also, as I included the svg sources I encourage everybody to improve it or make something for it, that isn't made yet. Currently I made only window manager theme mockup. And of course, more info is one the wiki page [1] as well.
