We discussed something very similar to it during the Paris summit. Great work on the visualization. I would personally love to see that approach be sketched out for our mouse cursor Edgy+1 concept in reference to the 'waiting' cursors. Yeah, that would be pretty neat. I've been working on a cursor set (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/EdgyArtworkPlan/Produce/ Incoming?action=AttachFiledo=gettarget=unfi.png), but it's very monotonous so far. Something like this could be a nice addition. I'll see to making a few sketches. Mich -- do you think you could bang out a similar animation with a 'spotlight' approach? Basically, it would be almost identical to what you have there save a more focused circular light illuminating the Ubuntu logo as it rolls around the primary logo surface. Do you mean that instead of using a radial light, we use, say, a raytraced light hovering over the Ubuntu logo? Or a little bit lighter radial light that perhaps isn't as sharp, as Who is suggesting? I think that a raytraced light might not work very well on small sizes. PS: sorry for inactivity in the channel. I promised you some work on the GTK, but I've unfortunately been terribly busy and today I have another meeting until late. But still, I haven't given up work. :) Michiel -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] [TT-Blubuntu] Blubuntu Update: lsplashes and GTK theme update
Okay, interesting comments: For the splash screen, that blue blob kinda looks a bit freaky. Without the blob though, 3 looks pretty good. But, BlueBuntu and Styck actually seem like the best failsafes for this. Then on the icons, the Industrial theme from Dapper was supposed to have NuoveXT icons as well, but because of problems related to disk space on the install CD's, it had to use Tango instead. But, Tango just seems to go better with the fresh look of Blubuntu. This is just my $2 here..

I think that a raytraced light might not work very well on small sizes. Imagine a simple circle. Now over top of this simple circle, you have a smaller circle that 'orbits' along its perimeter. This smaller circle is a gradient from transparent on the outside to opaque at its centre. When this 'circle' orbits around the logo, it would reveal the logo underneath, as a focused flashlight might offer. From this you get two easy variations -- one which is almost exactly the same as your current version, except with a 'circular' radar line. For the second, you could try keeping the entire logo darkened while revealing it as the circle rotates around it, gradually letting the circle's trail fade back to the darker logo. I'd give you a sketch, but I am in a complete rush this morning, so I apologize. I imagine you can figure it out from here though. And who knows, sometimes accidents are the best creative spark.

It's rather ugly with only a few colors. I have it working with 256 colors on i386/amd64, but since I don't have a ppc, I can't implement it for ppc yet (anyone in holland with a ppc machine that I could borrow for a while?). I'm now working on a POC theme that could be a drop-in replacement for the current usplash with a better looking progress bar to test the new usplash's abilities. -- Dennis K.
