Re: [ubuntu-art] Where's the official proposed theme idea?
At first I didn't like this theme, but it is really growing on me. Of coarse there are things that still need work. The orange in the theme feels out of place. It just doesn't fit it because of how heavy the browns are. I think using white as the selected item color in the menus would look a lot better. I also think that the notification area needs to use different colors. It needs to stand out more. Now it hardly stands out at all since it is the same color as the background behind it, and of most windows. Speaking of the windows, I really like the way the titlebar and menu bar are visuially connected int the active window. In the unactive window where it looks like just a gradient from brown to tan looks very ugly to me. I think this theme is about the prettiest a brown theme could be, but we would still get a lot of flac from the brown haters if this were default. I hope that it works well with the color options in the appearence settings so that keeping the theme but using a different color is just a couple of clicks worth of work.

I'll be downloading some themes that resemble mine (in their technical composition) and start to figure out how we could get this beast into a live environment! The XCF source is almost useless, but it can make life easy if anyone wants to make a mockup with icons text. The large mockup doesn't include the most recent requests (several of which will be integrated), but it gives the closest impression to what a full desktop would look like right now - barring the lack of widgets.

[ubuntu-art] Ubuntu Mockup
I have been thinking about what I would like Ubuntu to look like, and made a mockup. Pretty much every shape in this except the panel background and wallpaper is made using SVGs. I may supply sources latter if anyone is interested in them. I didn't do windows yet (since I use Enlightenment, and don't want to change GNOME's theme right now), but I think this may be enough to start with. Anyway, please comment. I tried to make this a pleasing black/brown/orange theme. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Re: [ubuntu-art] Ubuntu Mockup
Oh well since we're all mocking up now, let me throw in a suggestion as well: http://www.portefolje.net/div/mockup.jpg Based on Ken's suggestion on this list. Some modifications (darker top area + some reflection, hover, consistent menus, dark notifications with some reflection). Another wallpaper (stock-image from sxc.hu), and another top-panel. Please ignore the ugly notification-icons at top right and other glitches - it is all just photoshop mocking! Also, I didn't make any minimize/maximize-icons yet, I really don't think we should use the Vista-like ones... - Thomas L.G AA Boy skrev: Oops, for some reason teh link got deleted.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Ubuntu Mockup
The colours work really well. I'm not a big fan of the superfluous transparent borders or the faded out menus. I'd like to see everything much more crisp, then I think this theme should be a serious contender. The dark brown is a fantastic touch.

Excellent work guys! Thomas, I love the colour layout and your use of gloss (I'm a fan of gloss myself); Keep up the good work. If you don't have a theme wiki, you should definitely start one!
