Re: [ubuntu-art] Proposal: Tangerine Icon Theme
Andreas Nilsson wrote: Mark Shuttleworth wrote: Tangerine would be managed by the community as follows: - one person will be selected by the community to be the Tangerine Lead - up to three people will get direct write access to the repository - the rest of the community would contribute icons to those core theme writers, who would choose which icons go into Tangerine, using your own community processes Hello Mark! I can step up and maintain this, and I bet I have lapo with me on this, however there are some problems. OK, thanks for volunteering! I'm happy to make you preliminary leader of Tangerine to work with Daniel Holbach in setting up the theme skeleton and the packaging, and the revision control processes. I say "preliminary" because the Art Team needs to select the leaders of subprojects like Tangerine and the major community-contributed themes. And the Community Council needs to appoint a leadership structure for the art team. So let's go ahead if you are comfortable getting that process completed and confirmed over the coming weeks. Gnome-icon-theme is licensed under GPL, while Tango is licensed under CC-SA and I'm not sure it is legally possible to create a theme with a mishmash of licenses. It would probably be possible to keep the themes in separate packages, delete icons like stock-save in tango and tangofy that icon in gnome-icon-theme (and as tango depend on g-i-t it would fall back to that and it would use the one from g-i-t). I'm not sure that is a good solution though. We have a different position on the legalities. We believe it is OK to produce a theme that has icons under multiple licences, as long as the licences file clearly identifies which icon is under which licences. In other words, we believe the icons are individual pieces of work. So, we will start with Tangerine including existing icons from Tango and GIT, carefully identified, and also welcome contributions from the community under (your) direction to fill that out. The best community icons, if they meet the standards for Human, will go into Human as well as Tangerine. It would be nice to have some more info on why some icons in human or gnome was chosen instead of the tango ones, so that we either can fix this upstream or fix tango in dapper to use some better metaphors/styles. Hard to describe taste issues, I'm not an expert and don't have too much time for it. Have just gone through an iterative process with the Human theme to get to something I and some others really like, and are now trying to expand that theme to cover the core parts of the desktop. In due course I would like to document the style guidelines. I think they look OK when mixed with Tango, except that the Tango palette is rather blue.

The Gimp, OpenOffice, KDE, Gnome (though the temp one in dapper has rounded edges), Azureus, etc... It always annoyed me, but it seems that its a standard no one tries to break out of. Good timing - I believe this is the first release where you can use GIF-style (I don't think it does full PNG-style alpha channel) transparency for the splash images. Contributions welcome. The Dapper desktop will look very similar to breezy, so the contribution most likely to be accepted is the one that looks best on the default Breezy desktop colour.

[ubuntu-art] Breaking the standards... splash images.
I know perhaps there were technical limitations, but how come all splash images historically have been rectangular? The Gimp, OpenOffice, KDE, Gnome (though the temp one in dapper has rounded edges), Azureus, etc... It always annoyed me, but it seems that its a standard no one tries to break out of. I submitted a splash image for loading gnome: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/attachments/20060311/385e5e61/UbuntuSplash.pngAnd got some interesting feedback and suggestions on using vector graphics, toning down colors, etc... What I wonder is perhaps modifications to this design (or any other for that matter) could be used as replacements for all programs spash screens that are in the ubuntu repo's - making all splash images a variation on one design - which would help the whole OS feel more contigious. And in addition we could break out of that common rectangular splash issue. So is it worth it for me to spend some time redesigning a whole bunch of ones? -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Dapper look&feel, some (maybe) useful links
The popup color is nice with human theme, but as soon as you change it for something else, it looks really strange. IMO it should use the gtk theme colors, or a boring color like the new old popup. PS I noticed that the notification-daemon has switched to an IMHO horrible yellow bubble, is this the final look? the previous one looks way more professional to me. ;-) The shape of the popup is fixed, the close icon needs work, the background colour isn't final.

I think the GIMP-Splash ist to much "Photoshop". As I see the hand, the first thought was "its a Photoshop-Vector-Form".
