Besides, it DOES matter what YOU'd like to do. It's not that we don't care, but sometimes it isn't easy to come up with specific critics (especially if it's "only" mockups). I'll make sure I won't forget this thread and reply to you in this matter fully when I think it through more deeply, but right now I am focusing on getting the nodoka gtk engine 0.7.0 release done in time, so please be a little more patient. The best I could suggest you though right now is this: make a wiki page dedicated to the Notify design, and make a single thread clearly stating that it's only about the notification-daemon design. You'll need to gather some info, how can we do that (meaning the real theme) and even if you would be not able to do it yourself, it would help us to put all the info on the wiki. As for the design itself: when the real code is being done, there is still a plenty of room for improvement based on the usage experience, so do not feel obliged to come up with an awesome design from the start. And once again, I plan to make some sketches, based on your design, as well and will comment on the notify design when I am done with them :) Thanks, Martin PS: And remember that most of us, like you, are doing these things in our spare time, so if there isn't enough of that, we do not reply much to the stuff, or to everything, what goes on here, so do not feel disappointed by the lack of as much critics as you might like ;-) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

I'm getting very little responses here to improve my mockup. is there just no interest for it? does fedora even want me to put time in this? So... i want to improve it further (assuming that's needed) so give the mockup some critics so that i can improve it! the motivation to continue with this isn't really high.. i need feedback on this one!

My general idea for fedora is to have the themes polished in F10. Nodoka can do a lot to get that done. Oke for the first one. When you hover a button or anything that's nodoka controlled like the buttons: minimize, maximize and close. When you put your mouse on one of them the image behind it is instantly changing to the hover state (or something like it). My suggestion would be to make a effect of it. Fade out the old one and simultaneously fade in the new image so that you get some nice effects there. Also do this for every other thing that has another state when it's selected, hovered etc. AFAIK, metacity does not support it. Correct me if I'm wrong. It would possible to make these effects of these using Compiz' wm but I have no experience in this area and also compositing isn't currently working almost nowhere in rawhide (you know, intel is broken a little, and nvidia does not support the new Xorg yet). As far as I know composite can work with 2D only drivers like VESA. IIRC xcompmgr wasn't particularly slow (though very unstable). I'm not familiar with the implementation of the Composite extension of Metacity, or what effects are possible with it. I however am more familiar with the implementation of XFWM4, and it is lightweight enough to be used with 2D only drivers such as 2D-only radeon drivers on R500 hardware (or radeonhd drivers) as well as VESA, with very decent a performance. But this isn't a discussion for the art-list, but for -devel and maybe Desktop. Just wanted to point out that you can have composite enabled by default with 2D-only drivers and have good performance. ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

You're right and wrong here. Right: - Compositing with Ati or Nvidia (anything except intel) isn't working Wrong: - the statement that compositing isn't working. Did you knew that KDE 4 uses the xorg composite extension? that means that compositing works on vesa as well! not fast but working. So compositing _can_ work if the creators of the notification deamon (and nodoka, you) invest some time to get it in then compositing is always working! which (to me) is worth the time.. but then again i'm not the person who is gonna break his head in implementing it.

I can make that. However i probably won't include that timer thing because i'm still making this with the assumption that the balloon vanishes after 3 till 5 seconds so i see no point in making it visible how long you have till the balloon vanishes. and for that left stripe.. i will see how i make that fit in. > > > Martin 2008/4/4, Nicu Buculei <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Mark wrote: > > > > > I left out the round timer thing on purpose because i think those > > "balloons" should just vanish after a few (3 to 5) seconds. adding in > > a timer is nice but not needed and makes it look strange.

It would possible to make these effects of these using Compiz' wm but I have no experience in this area and also compositing isn't currently working almost nowhere in rawhide (you know, intel is broken a little, and nvidia does not support the new Xorg yet). > The second one is something i've requested before but never got in. > Theme the taskbar! fully theme it, not just change the colour but > really give it a theme.

Mostly because there are applets supposed to be on panel, as well as notification area. Many of these are still 'broken' and display wrong if you use them on panel with different background than just filled with one colour (non-transparent).

I forgot the close button but just didn't include the image in. As for the padding.. i think it should stay that "close" on the top.. the left is obviously gonna be moved about 100 pixels or so to make place for the image. I will see what i can do with it in the next mockup. I left out the round timer thing on purpose because i think those "balloons" should just vanish after a few (3 to 5) seconds. adding in a timer is nice but not needed and makes it look strange.

"how would it look if the upper panel had also the same style" Well.. it would look good IF made good :) perhaps the reversed gradient of the one that you see at the bottom. "For the buttons" Well.. i will have to play with some colors there. It can't use the hover things that you see on the buttons in the bottom because the would look ugly. Perhaps a little in the style of KDE 4? "Now how to make this play nice with Nodoka?" don't know. Martin/Luya/Mo/anyone of the art team maybe? "So that it all looks consistent?"

Re: Nodoka suggestions for Fedora 10
Mark escribió: Hey, i'm having some suggestions for nodoka in the next fedora version. My general idea for fedora is to have the themes polished in F10. Nodoka can do a lot to get that done. Oke for the first one. When you hover a button or anything that's nodoka controlled like the buttons: minimize, maximize and close. When you put your mouse on one of them the image behind it is instantly changing to the hover state (or something like it). My suggestion would be to make a effect of it. Fade out the old one and simultaneously fade in the new image so that you get some nice effects there. Also do this for every other thing that has another state when it's selected, hovered etc. That is very interesting. One thing I've noticed, though, and since Metacity allows for that, is that if you change the order of the buttons (using gconf-editor), the properties of the buttons will be inherited by the new elements in their place. For example, I like to have the close and minimize buttons together at the upper left corner of the window, and the menu and maximize buttons on the right corner. The problem with the current implementation of the theme is that it "locks" the buttons to the right corner of the window and even though all effects are "inherited" when they are changed, the "highlight" around the buttons persists and is locked to the buttons on the right hand corner[1]. Maybe the first step would be to lock the highlight border to the properties of the buttons instead of a location in the title bar? (is this even possible in GTK? [or any other toolkit for that matter?]) The second one is something i've requested before but never got in. Theme the taskbar! fully theme it, not just change the colour but really give it a theme. As far as i know this has never been done in fedora. I will try to make a mockup of it sometime soon. This sounds VERY interesting indeed... It also opens all sorts of possibilities for themes... Like having both the lower and upper panes have different colors/combinations/highlights, etc. Make launcher icons stand out as buttons, give a glossy look (or not), etc. And have the lower panel (with the "Show Desktop", "Window List" "Recycle Bin" and "Desktop Pager" applets) a completely different, but complementary look than that of the upper panel. Have the Window List applet have its own properties so that (as some people do) if a user deletes one of the panels (to reclaim desktop pace, for instance) and moves the Window List to "the other" panel, these properties are retained and what not. Third. A while back i made a mockup of a themed notification message. the current one looks kinda plain. The one i had made was one you all seemed to like one way or the other but never got implemented. I will try to find that mockup and post it again to see if this could find it's way in Fedora 10. I don't remember seeing this one, and I would very much like to see it! That's it for this moment. i'm sure i will come with more once i'm busy making mockups. But what is your opinion about those ideas so far and how likely is it to get them in Fedora 10? PS: I hate it having a sense of "good taste" when it comes to graphics, but 0 talent whatsoever!
