However, shouldn't be better a "Made with GNOME" button? "Made for GNOME" reminds me too much the infamous "Optimized for Browser X" buttons. "Made with GNOME" shows the capabilities of the GNOME desktop or development platform and it doesn't show an exclusive approach (GNOME applications can work in non-GNOME environments). I was even thinking of a provocative "Made in GNOME", as if being a "territory" where GNOME_is_People work, love and live. :) -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org | http://guadec.org signature.asc Description: Això és una part d'un missatge, signada digitalment -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

The content is coming ;) I changed it quite a bit yesterday, the website is geared to be released with the next version of glipper. After, we will add gconf support and such then it will be 1.0 time ! (we may not be great at versioning this, but we have to call it something :) At this point we will suggest inclusion in GNOME (might as well mention that now ;). > - provide 2 css left/right handed people.

That is a very nice idea, I have thought this before, but completely forgotten about it and probably wouldn't have implemented it. Thanks. > - Who is working on this project ?

Thanks for that, I didn't know about this functionality. You do realise this means I now have to edit the help don't you ? :o) > [2] this one, is just 'too much' but could be revelant somewhere... Yes, *too* much. A more minimalistic website could be nice, with ways to submit buttons etc. A "fancywebsitebuttons.org" site could be a benefit to the libre movement I think, generating interest and a web of links... I'm planning of at least making a template of this site, with a set of different stylesheets available for other projects. To be frank, many libre software sites are horrible, I think they should at least comply with standards. I may even write a gtk app, that stores site content in a sqllite database (for example) and spits out static html. No messing about on the server, and existing sites con just be copy pasted into the software. I'm sure some hackers could find this useful ;) Love, Karderio > > [1] http://glipper.sourceforge.net/ (.com redirect to 3w.sourceforge.net) > [2] > http://www.everdusk.be/index.php?page=FR_Plug_in_Gimp_Screenshot_with_style -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Main quality clear/simple, colors are fine (evenif 2 colors). You may : - use only one page, there isn't (today) enough content to make several pages. - provide 2 css left/right handed people. Actually it would be really usefull if this kind of css were supported by browsers, so that it choose automatically the right css. Some think that menus should be on the right side for right handed people... - add current stable/unstable version number with release date in a good place (may be just under the logo). I find this too desapointing to have to look into the news or in CVS to know if the project is dead or not... - Who is working on this project ? - use ALT+PrtScr to take screenshot of a window. The screenshot utility support effects (I know about shadow, it looks like the only one) but I don't how to use it with the shortcut. You may create a new bind. or use this handy command : gnome-screenshot --window --border-effect=shadow --delay=5 gimp scripts would more usefull to do such effects...

Eek, the website I'm working on is plastered with them :) I wouldn't say they are great though either, I mainly found it handy so as to provide links to places I feel deserve coverage on every page. Also, I'm not such a great graphic artist, so such things, along with tango icons, make my websites more colourful ;) The other thing is that people use them, so to have one might generate links to the GNOME website.

Well, it is of course possible, but the button actually respects a chimeric standard that specifies that the text should be this size[1]... Could the solution be to provide a big brother to this button ? > and could you make a version with 1px padding for the gnome foot image > (so that it doesn't touch the border) Here is one (attached), I'm actually surprised that this is not too ridiculously small :) So : which button is better ?
