Re: [ubuntu-art] Wiki reorganisation in progress
An easy task that everybody is able to do is to switch old page to the new template In Artwork/ namespace, if you visit a page that do not have the artwork team logo right to the table of content, 1. edit it 2. cut content (after toc to before subpages) 3. add "&template=Artwork/PageTemplate" to the url 4. go that url 5. and paste the content in place of the default content 6. then save changes.

[ubuntu-art] Wiki reorganisation in progress
Hello, Today i did a lot of deep changes in our Wiki. I added a lot of pages and redirect old pages the new one. There are some problematic pages : * ArtworkTeam/Meetings and ArtworkTeam/Meetings/Agenda have a big semantic problem. Agenda must be the list of upcoming meetings and events. Agenda must be a kind of calendar. Not a mailing list digest. I don't know what to do with that pages (else than just droping them). Meetings are globaly well handled. No need to do our own archive, and so on. * Artwork/Documentation/Howtos/InlineColorSwatch and ArtworkTeam/Drafts/EdgyColourProposals/Howto are really strange. I don't know how to handle that pages. Should them be specs ??? Any help to build Review of previews artwork is wellcome. Use qemu and write new archive page following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Archives guidelines. That would be nice to describe deeply the artwork of a release in Artwork/Archives/X.Y and put screenshots in Artwork/Archives/X.Y/*buntu .

[ubuntu-art] Icon discussion
Let's open up this discussion again with Edgy in mind. There are currently two viable sets that can be used: the Human set and the Tangerine/Tango set. The Human set was used in Dapper with Tango being an optional choice. A lot of discussion preceded this choice. We must ask ourselves: what are the rationale for usage of either icon theme? What are the pros and cons of Human and Tangerine/Tango? Comparison of the icon styles: http://xoomer.alice.it/bat/orango-tango/side-by-side.png It's true that both of the icon sets are very good indeed and definitely worthy of being a default icon set, quality-wise, and this is what makes it difficult to make a choice. Let's decide for ourselves what we feel are the advantages and disadvantages would be: (Note: this is an incomplete list; send mails to suggest other reasons.) Advantages of Human: - Original icon theme - Ubuntu is the only distro to use the Human icons (thus far) - Created with the Ubuntu distro feeling and visual representation in mind Advantages of Tangerine/Tango: - Tango is rapidly gaining popularity; Tangerine ensures consistency with future non-Ubuntu applications and icons - SVG versions of every icon are available - Arguably developed using a more open process - Strictly follows a set of standards and guidelines There are some things I'm unsure of about Human. I feel as though its development is mostly closed due to it being created by a professional team, but if I'm wrong about this, then please notify me how one could contribute to the Human theme. This discussion is meant for brainstorming material for Edgy. Michiel -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Illustrator has that new-ish feature where you can genereate an artwork template and then have it create variations of the artwork based on a database... What would be cool is to create the artwork in such a way that you could then create a make file and then feed in a color pallette and have it generate/regerate the artwork for each distro based on the colors in the pallette. make ubuntu make edubuntu make xubuntu make kubuntu I gave it a try by making an icon in Inkscape and using an alpha-transparent png; from a technical perspective, this is possible. It took longer than I had expected so I don't have a formal proof of concept to show, but if people think this is interesting I will complete my test and make something that can be experimented with by others. The cool thing about using SVG is that it is very easy to replace colors. I simply did a "find and replace" but a more elegant and possibly reliable solution would be to transform it using XSL which is quite easy. I'll admit that in the real world this may not be practical because it is non-trivial to do more than replace exact colors.

Keep in mind the screenshot only has 4 icons and many others such as the pointing hand have more obvious improvements. Though I'm a HUGE fan of jammac's icons in general the cursors are just not my favorite anymore. At first I almost didn't try Polar because, like you mentioned, they are a bit different both in size and appearance but I'm glad I did. Within 5 mins I realized they offer a sharpness and crispness that no other cursor set has been able to convey. Instead of having less control, *I feel* I have more. To me that is the ultimate test of a cursor. Now I've been using these for about a year and going back to the perfectly OK jimmac cursors seems a bit awkward due to the smaller than optimal size, which is important on large displays, and their rather flat appearance. Of course, ymmv, but there you have my experience. -- Chuck Huber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
